Default 2004 Mustang V6, cuts on bumper for instaling dual exahust

hey i was thinking about getting dual exhaust for my mustang its a 2004 40 anniversary v6.. i was thinking about getting the Magnaflow ones
Magnaflow Dual Exhaust Catback System (99-04 V6) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

but aside from that i was wondering if anyone knows where do get the cuts on ur back bumper since the V6 mustangs dont come with the cuts? cuz after installing those dual exhaust its gonna look ugly with no exhaust cuts above it know what i mean..

You can cut out that part of your bumper, but that looks even cheaper than just letting them go underneath the bumper. You can get a gt bumper and paint it to your car's color. That's probably the way to go.

Cutting your bumper doesn't always look bad. I think putting them under the bumper looks cheap.

Mine are cut and it doesn't look so bad.

I found the fifth post down on this very useful when I was thinking about doing this a while back. I personally plan on getting a gt bumper not too far down the road.

I wouldn't think it would be a huge problem, but as I've said, I haven't done it yet. Say, by pics, the GT bumper seems to hang down lower (so it would fit an exhaust that hangs down lower); does anyone know if that's really the case?

i dont think hanging the exhaust under the bumper without cutting it looks cheap at all with the right tips i think it looks great
