1. Yes that is what I'm talkin about in the first pic. See how you can see alot of the muffler where it attaches to the exhast pipe right inside the bumper. The muffler itself is bigger in diameter then the pipe coming throught the bumper.

2. IIRC you dont see that on the stock exhaust...all you see is the pipe coming out the hole in the bumper.

3.Maybe the exhaust in that pic is mounted lower than stock or is that just the look of that particular setup? It does seem to hang lower though which would be a concern for lowered cars.



i had to break up your post to keep things clear.

1. you cannot see my exhaust piping at all. the "pipe" coming through the bumper is the exhaust tip. these mufflers have tips attached to them, as does the flat muffler i posted above.

2. the stock exhaust is hidden b/c the stock mufflers are small, flat, and nasty looking. they also use that unattractive little pipe sticking down from them. these are stainless polished beauties. as stazi said, its a different look. and with how great these mufflers look, you should be able to see them.

3. any aftermarket muffler with a tip attached is going to have to be mounted lower than stock, so that the tip sticks through the bumper cutout. otherwise it would be pointing at the inside of the back of my bumper. it does indeed hang lower, and i have scraped it once (on a nasty nasty driveway dip, i had no choice) otherwise, a little change in how you take dips when pulling in and out of places is all you need to keep them from hitting.

you can probably have the exhaust shop just mount another muffler just like the stock one, and just reuse that little bent pipe "tip" that is on the stock one. this setup is a "look" i guess, but there are other options for doing a performance exhaust.
