I'm curious as to how 4.4/4.6/4.8 models can remove their rear bumper without dropping the exhaust. What I realized last night was that with the longer extending tips it's impossible to get the bolt that goes through the bumper/bumper bar out from the bottom because it doesn't clear the exhaust tips. So that put a detour in my way of finishing the Ractive tip mod. My dad and I decided it'd be best to have a place (i.e. Meineke) make a short pipe that would fit snugly over the existing piece on the muffler and weld that, then slide the Ractive tip over that pipe (snug fit) and screw it in from the bottom.
