Thumbs up Made the Cut

Well I got my dual Borla stingers with Xpipe from AM last week, and finally got up the nerve to cut the bumper. Thanks, in most part, to all the, "It's no sweat post".
Still I was like man, I just cut a hunk out of my All time favorite car. LOL
Hope it lines up!
And the really great news is they are being installed tomorrow

Happy V_DAY from one vet to all the other Vets

Thanks

Alignment issues can usually be resolved by loosening the axleback and midpipe clamps and moving the joints until the position in the cutout suits you. It works best if you have one person holding the tip and feeding back to the guy underneath wriggling the pipes. This beats uneccessarily bending and cutting things. It's described in TacoBill's HowTo for installing the Stingers but also applies to any other axleback.
