Default Cutting V6 Bumper

I'm installing the Pypes Performance Exhaust kit hopefully this weekend, could anyone give me some information on how you cut the bumper?

It came with a DIY pretty lame piece of paper that i'm supposed to line up, would it be best to install the exhaust then cut the bumper to assure where it would come out at?

Any information would be greatfully accepted,

Thanks,
-PB

Buy a GT bumper with the factory cutouts. I suspect a do-it-yourself job will look like a did-it-myself job.

ouch. dont cut the bumper.

if you screw it up, it'll look like crappola

if you cut wrong, it'll crack and chip

do yourself a huge favor and get a gt bumper or some major downpipes.


besides, my 05 rear bumper is alittle flexible. Is that normal? Not loose or anything, just has alittle flexibility in it

Buy a new GT take off from Ebay (many to be had) & sell yours on Ebay yours may be worth more as probably a rarer find.
