Ollieh17 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Gotta do this tonight and a bit worried. Its a immaculate 98 spec bumper and don't want to mess it up(more than a three inch hole in the side). I dont really like the look of metal plates around the hole but don't want the bumper to melt either. Any tips would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I cut my hole out and had my exhaust man make it around that.thats only real way to get it perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollieh17 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 no issue with it melting the bumper by the looks of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 has done which is unavoidable becuase of heat obviously.also carbon stains bumper in a "v" shape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I too let the guy making my exhaust cut the hole in the bumper. And as mikey said, it's inevitable that you will discolour the bumper and possibly melt it depending on how hot it gets and if it flames at all.My advice on making a hole for a ready made exhaust would be to just use a tape measure from the wheel to the centre of the exhaust and from the floor to the centre of the exhaust to find the middle, take exhaust off and put bumper on, make a 20mm hole on your axis and see how it lines up with the exhaust on the best you can before cutting it to the proper size.
