Do you have to remove the bumper to cutoff the OEM muffler tip? if not, how do you cut it off with the bumper on? is there room to do that?

I guessed it depends on the muffler shop. The shop I took it to didn't have to remove anything...cutting the OEM tips off and welding on the new ones with the mufflers and bumper in place.

I had the exhaust tips installed in 20 minutes - no need to remove anything. Painful to watch but the shop used a saw-zaw and cut the pipe leaving an inch sticking out from the base of the muffler. He put the tips on and tack welded in place, checked for alignment and then welded in place.

Depending on your taste, I had the shop cut the tips by 2 inches so they would tuck under the bumper.
