Default GT Bumper height

Can someone who has a GT bumper tell me the distance from the bottom of the trunk to the top of the cut out for the exhaust, i am trying to figure out if i will need to raise my exhaust at all.

if you have your exhaust hanging below your stock v6 bumper you will need to raise you exhaust probably 2". the 2" is just a guess

i just have my v6 bumper on right now, so i dont know about the gt bumper stuff. But instead of playing with hangers, which is probably easier anyway, you could go to a shop where they could heat the pipes and bend them to how high you want them to go. if theyre not busy, it would be inexpensive or maybe free...

just a suggestion...

Take it to a shop to have them adjust the hangers, because they are almost all welded on, and not going aywhere.

Yea I am actually getting the bumper put on by a shop anyways because i got rear ended, so it is getting payed for. I was gonna post some pics, but i cant find my camera cable, but all the hangers are welded on, and there is nothing, like a screw or something that i could take off to raise them. I guess I will talk to my guy at the shop and see if they can bend the pipes or raise them for me. Thanks for your help.

just have them cut the hanger from the exhaust tip and reweld it back on higher up
then u wont mess up ur exhaust bends just to raise ur exhaust, mandrel bending is more expensive for a reason, dont mess it up and change the diameter of ur piping
