I want to get a new muffler (probably a lukey) and want to get a nice oval tip sticking straight out. What are tyhe pros/cons of cutting the bumper? Has anyone already done it? Where should I go to do it? (I live in knox, vic)

any help would be much appreciated

theres this thread ;)

Cheers mate.

So is the panel beaters the way to go? I reckon it would look better with a lip of sorts around the cut out, just so it doesnt look so ametuerish.

itd look tacky i think with a lip...

just file it down so its all smooth looking n feelin...

let us know how u go

Hey man i live in mulgrave and i got a lukey exhaust on my KR verada.
It sounds awesome.
I got it done at springvale exhaust, it only cost me 220 with a tip and all the resinators taken off.
Why dont you try getting it done there?

heres mine done..

thanks guys

Pursuit, do have any contact details for that joint? I will give em a call but I am still deciding what I want and looking at prices.

Soothers, if you don't mind my asking how much did yours cost to do? It looks pretty sweet

$60 for the tip, $30 to cut out the bumper and $30 to make and fit another pipe coming from the muffler..

the place is called Springvale Exhaust Centre and its on springvale road near the train station the phone number is 9547 9533, ask to speak to Hans.

My bumper is not cut, and i have a 2.5" tip below the bumper --- and I can tell you, when I get extractors, I'll be getting it cutout, cause it's too low and I occasionally scrape it on exiting horror driveways.
