Geastb 0 Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I will be fitting a dual exit exhaust soon (see engine/exhaust forum!) and i need to modify the bottom piece of the bumper to allow the second exhaust pipe to fit properly.What is the best way of cutting/melting the bumper so make it fit? I want it to look as good as possible and would prefer not to go pay a bodyshop to do it (unless it wouldn't cost much!!!)CheersGaz Link to post Share on other sites
kilokilla 0 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 mine was done at exhaust place they just used a nibbler on it allthough it was far from perfect. Link to post Share on other sites
Geastb 0 Posted May 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Got any pictures of it? I'm going to try use one of those side cutting drill bits - hopefully it won't look too bad once i've finsihed? Link to post Share on other sites
kilokilla 0 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 only cut out a little bit mate you wouldnt notice if i did take a picture ov it mate good job really cos it would look real bad if id done it properly as i have single exit exhaust now.just cut out straight line about a 3mm up from bottom ov bumper where 2nd exit was.

jonvr6highline 0 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi,I have a dual exhaust on my Highline. My mate fitted it and said it was a bugger to do! Had to make a bracket up as obviously there isn't one already on the driver's side. Didn't have to make any bumper modifications though, sits nicely just below the bumper! Did have a photo of it on here before the photos were taken off. Not sure how to upload another photo in the new way. What I like about it is, I haven't seen another Golf around my area with one. Its a bit different. I got mine from Raceland. Was originally going to get it from VenomMotorsport but Richard had problems getting it in.CheersJon 8o) Link to post Share on other sites
Geastb 0 Posted May 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Mine came with a bracket already - just bolted it to the fuel tank holder bolt. Its going on as we speak (hopefully) - will know at 3pm if its ok! Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 my scorpion dual boxer was a bugger to get under the bumper, so i copied the other slot on the bumper, and now it looks too big. but i wouldnt worry too much, as no-one will notice the bumpers as you lash past with the exhaust shouting out "VR6, VR6" Link to post Share on other sites
