here attempted to cut out rear valance to allow for exhaust tips on prea@@ lifted 4.2? If so is it an easy DIY for a some what skilled individual? TIA

 

I did it on mine...



It's easiest if you have a lift. You just need to measure where you want the mufflers / tips to sit and mark off the line on the plastic. I used an air wrench / dremel to do mine. If you take your time, it will turn out great. Makes the car look so much more aggressive. Have fun!

What kind of exhaust do you have cary12? Looks sharp, how does it sound?

 

I did the same thing on my 2.7t I cut out the bottom so my exhaust would be flush with the bumper.

very easy.

take a 2l bottle trace the bottom with a thick black marker and then cut it out.

fold the now 3in (or slightly bigger) circle in half snd cut down the middle. this is now your templet for cutting out the bumper.

you will have to measuer from the inside to the back flush part to make your refrence mark to start. cut all the way threw the back layer as well and vola you have a new aggressive rear bumper ready for exhaust pipes.

a dremmal or a roto zip with a drywall blade worked best for me

 

It's a custom built stainless with Magnaflow mufflers and tips. Sounds sexy as hell. Especially with the V8. I'm just too lazy to get a video or audio of it. I'll try in a couple of days... I love it though.

 

that looks fantastic. May do it myself now.

 

I did it on my 2001 2.7T, for 4" magnaflow tips on teh OEM mufflers. The cutout was lined with door edge molding...

 

I am just starting to modify mine. No newpictures yet

 

i did it on my 2.7t also for quad tips..
here it is.
