If you put duals on your 99-04, GET A GT BUMPER!!!!!!! I saw three sixers within 30 minutes today with duals and no bumper.. I think it detracts from the appearance instead of improving it. In fact, I saw a sixer with a GT bumper and no duals added yet, and it looked alot better than a sixer with duals and no bumper

Question though.. just how expensive is the GT bumper anyway? If people are going to spend hundreds on duals, why not go a little bit further and finish the job?

it's personal preference. i like the duals without the gt bumper because it looks like my 95gt exhaust. i wouldnt turn down an already painted gt bumper for my sixer, but it is low on my priority list. if you can catch a deal on a used one that matches your color maybe $150 otherwise you can get a new painted one from ebay in the $300 range. id rather get an eibach pro kit to lower my stang..which i am doing. and for the record you must be high if you think a gt bumper with no duals looks cool..

It actually doesn't look bad to my surprise. You can't notice it's missing the pipes from a distance. Of course with the duals it would look much better but IMO a sixxer with a GT bumper and no pipes looks alot better than a sixer with duals that almost touch the ground because they are on a sixxer bumper.

I will run about ~$150 for the bumper and like ~$300 for paint so you are looking at something close to $500.
