Default 2005 mustang V6 rear bumper cut out.

I was just wondering if i wanted to get dual exhaust for my mustang if i would have to buy a new rear bumper and get it painted or if i just had it cut out would it look ok?

anyone who has done this or seen this let me know how it looks plz.

All you need is a tape measure, blank piece of paper, Sharpe, new box knife, and fine sand-paper. 1.) Use the paper to make a template of the right factory exhaust cut-out, 2.) Measure true dead center of bumper, measure distance to r/h cut-out, then measure same distance to left side of bumper, place your template and mark radius with Sharpe. Cut, sand, you're done.

You can also get a template on the pypes website. That's what I used.

I used the Pypes template, and a dremmel with a rotary cutting attachment, then finished the hole with some factory touch up paint. Took about 30 minutes.

I traced the right side onto a piece of paper and used it to mark the left side. I trimmed the cutout with aviation snips. Didn't even need the dremel.
