If you are just swapping the single V6 muffler with a single V8 muffler ... you do not need to trim the rear bumper cover ... it is a simple swap and fits in the existing notch. 100's have done it and is generally the first V6 mod everyone installs.

The GT take-off exhaust is a bolt on, with no modification at all needed. It will fit the V6 bumper with no problem. And it definitely does sound better and is less restrictive than the V6 muffler. It should only take about an hour to an hour and a half to change out!

Check out some of the other aftermarket mufflers just to make sure you're happy with what you get. It took me a couple months to decide. hehe

ORIGINAL: illegalstealth

Awesome ty for the fast reply : )
Regarding question #1 how much cutting at the bumper would be needed?
You would only need to cut the bumper if you are installing duals. If you go that route in the future, there is template you can use to make the cut in the "how to" fourms listed at the top of the page.

I'm not very good at video editing, but you can get a taste of the FRPP M5230 GTA muffler:
Before, after, and during (No muffler)

Maybe:
