hey jackie (dont mean to hijack thread) I was thinking of doing exactly your setup running dumps and v6 bumper because my exhaust tips started to melt my bumper. I have magnaflow catback now how do you make them dumps?

can you unbolt your tailpipes for your catback?

yeah my tailpipes can unbolt, is that all you do is take those off, so you run your mid pipe into your muffler and nothing after that.

so thats all i have to do?? i dont have to buy dumps? when i get my mufflers welded in, should i just ask the guy to not even bolt up my stock cat-back?

i just did it. not hard at all, just a lil time consuming trying to find all the bolts/pins that needed to come out. i replaced my rear corner reflectors with white ones. it took me an hour to get the bumper off, 5 min to change the reflectors, and and about 30 min to get the bumper back on. kind of a trivial mod for all the work, but well worth it i say. i like the look.

i went to discount auto parts and bought some turn downs and had them welded on, i guess you could clamp them on if a welder is not at your disposal. i wouldnt go without the turn downs if it were me

rear bumper isnt that bad pull the christmas tree trim clips from unterneath the car open the trunk and remove the carpet against the rear deck to give u access to the tail lights and the side carpeting. Then remove the 8? bolts along the back and 2 bolts from each side. Took me 20 mins to get mine off.
