I've been wondering if I should stay with my single flowmaster 40 series exhaust set up or should I go with dual magnaflows...my friend says its retarded becuase I need to get a whole new bumper for my mustang and it doesnt need it becuase its a v6. I know I can get a bumper cut out, but is it better just to get a new bumper?

Why spend the $$ for a bumper when you can save that $$ on other mods? A cut out will cost you nothing Vs a GT bumper that can run you from $150-300.00. I like the look or our dual exhaust with the cut-outs. It sets us apart from the GTs and it's unique.
I got a new bumper put on before I started on this website and even thought about doing a cutout but honestly I have seen some people's cutouts look just as good as getting a whole new bumper and it is $200 cheaper
no offense meant to anyone.. but i always thought the cutouts looked cheap and unfinished... thats why i sprung for the gt bumper... i got mine for 150 and love it.... just my .02 good luck with what ever you do

I just think the duals go a long way to make our cars look a lot meaner. And the cut out looks more retro to me. Are you dead set on the magnaflows? have you researched and that's what you decided on?

Depends on what else you have on the car. A GT front bumper with skirts does not look right with a V6 rear bumper. I had that originally, and decided to go with GT rear rather than cut the V6.
i didnt switch bumpers...feel free to check my site for pics....looks nice and old school....many have complimented the look....oh yeah i got flows too

Cheap yes that was the point. Unfinished is a matter of opinion. Apparently Ford thought by adding a trim piece that is in their V6 Dual set-up, would finish it off. Like I stated before, it's a unique look.

how much would a cutout run??? i have duals on my stock six bumper but no cutout... it looks KINDA funny cuz it sits lower on the left but no big deal
I had the shop that installed my mufflers cut mine out. They told me it was very easy to do......cut like butter. Most of the guys on this forum has done it themselves. Some used a utility knife while others used a Dremel. Just use the template below. You can lightly sand the edge to make it smooth and then touch it up with some Motorcraft touch-up pain. I tell you, if it's done right, you wouldn't know it wasn't factory done.
