Default Think I might go with dumps

How ghetto is it really to have dumps with the rear bumper empty, that is to say the cutouts for the GT exhaust not having pipes sticking out?

I started the car with the rear tailpipes off during our suspension install here and it sounds wicked! Much deeper and better sounding than with the pipes on, and you can really hear the car camming.

I don't want to mess around with getting a V6 bumper with no cutouts.. the car being that special red/orange its going to be impossible to get a match up paint color.

If you have the GT bumper in the back and no pipes coming out, it looks kind of like the sh@ts. A guy at school has a car like mine w/the rousch side exhaust kit, from the back it looks cheap. How about you get the dumps and leave the tips on the back to give the affect that it comes from there?

Yeahit looks wierd, mine is like that now. Just hang your tips in the rear so it looks normal.

By that I mean dump in and hang the tips to mantain the look.

I really like the idea but i think would would have to go T/A style and leave the tips there (fake) and just dump it after themuffs.

if there is nothing there at all, it will look like crap. I second getting the roush bumper.. that would look sexy as hell on the back.. people would be wondering where your exhaust exit was when they saw your car.

Thats why you leave the tips there and cut everthing back off, and dump it after the muffler. It may look kinda weird when its cold outside and the smoke dosnt come from the tips but it will be louder.
