Dual Exhaust=New Bumper???

JVargoPhD · April 22nd, 2009, 01:39 AM

this may be a stupid question but do i have to get a new bumper if i were to get a dual exhaust conversion? i know there is a recess in the bumper on one side, is that something i could mimic on the otherside and maybe cover both edges with some trim to tidy up the cut? or do i have to get a whole new bumper?

Depends how good you are with fiberglass.

I had the muffler shop guy cut it. He did it for free and did great. And my tips are so big that even if he fucked it up I wouldnt be able to tell.

That would be personal preference. It would be cheaper if you, or someone you knew was good and could just cut another opening for you. That is what I would go with. If you are worried how it will come out buy a gt bumper

no no thats good i thought i would have to get a new bumper, and i didnt quite frankly want to spend another couple hundred. But if i could get it cut that would be perfect. i'm looking at the dual pipe conversion by pypes on AM....anyone have a ballpark on installation cost/#of hours to professionally do it? and i thought i had posted this in the 05+ forum, my mistake

6ER THEN I 8ER! · April 22nd, 2009, 06:52 PM

if u do it yourself i have no idea due to iv never seen you work on a car...but at a shop that will be around $50-60 in install (since you have the tubing, mufflers, tips, and hangers...) and if your local shop is like my local shop it should take less then an hour to cut out the old and weld in the new...

JVargoPhD · April 22nd, 2009, 10:18 PM

yeah no way in hell i'm doing it myself, and itll be awhile before i can afford it, but an hours worth of work is less than i thought it'd be.

6ER THEN I 8ER! · April 23rd, 2009, 01:38 AM

let me put it this way...to cut off my old true dual set up and have them weld in new tubing, mufflers, and hangers it took under an hour...

I brought the guy my mufflers and x pipe. He charged me 50 dollars for the driver side pipe. and 150 for labor.

dont listen to the peeople who say u need anew bumper.. thats just stupid take a saw cut it yourself... i did it on mine and it looks great....well that and plus im working on becoming a hotrod builder so im good with tool and body work...

Phinney · April 23rd, 2009, 12:15 PM

I have a 2004 convertible, single exhaust, at the moment. It doesn't have any cut out for the exhaust, the pipe is aimed downward under the bumper... Is that normal?

6ER THEN I 8ER! · April 23rd, 2009, 12:28 PM

thats the stock set up for a new edge stang...sixxers don't get cut-outs...the OP is a '05+ so he has one....now take your car to a shop and get that exhaust done

JVargoPhD · April 23rd, 2009, 09:00 PM
