Bumper with dual exhaust

[Rubered00]

Im wanting to put dual exhaust on my alero. I've noticed some of you have put it on your aleros with the factory bumper on i think??? But it looks like it has cut outs on both sides for the exhaust. Mine doesnt have that...do i need to something or am i just seeing things wrong in the pictures?

[shockz]

Some have body kits, some just leave the stock bumper on it eventually melts.

The stock bumper has only one cut out.

[Rubered00]

yea...i know that some have body kits...i just thought that maybe there was some way to get the stock bumper to work with it better.

Yeah some people notch the facory bumper

Yes...a coutout on the otherside is deffinatly recomended(tho not needed). All u really need is a small hack-saw or something equvilent, and a couple files. If u look under your bumper the place for the x-tra cutout is already pretty much laid out in the molding. Just take a few measurments from the other side, trace it out on the side u need to cut and bam...rough it out with the saw and then file to finish. If done correctly there shouldnt be any need to paint.
I also heard that a lot of exaust shops can do this for u for a lil xtra cash when they do the install on the new exaust.

That's what I'll be doing shortly, I'll just cut the bumper myself

when they installed mine, they cut it out for free

So what did this guy do to his?

hey reddog...thats you...lol...looks like a notch to me.

No I took it to a body shop for that. I wanted a professional look to the job.

Even the dealer asked me who did it and how good it looked :eek:

Thank you for the fame :D I like it

i have the razzi kit and it comes with them already

I was picking my car up from the dealer today, and I noticed that one of the new Aleros on the lot had the Razzi kit on it with dual exhaust. I didn't even know there was an option for this, I checked out Olds website and didn't find anything on it. It looked pretty badass. Except for it having drum brakes in the rear and 15" wheels.

most likely the dealership wanted to get rid of more aleros so they slapped on a Razzi Kit to make it more appealing to the common person and maybe get a quick sale, I seen a razzi kit at a dealership on a New Cavailer because those cars arent selling like they want.

Has anyone put duals on their car without modding the stuck bumper in any way?? If so, let me know how it looks and if you have ne good pics i'd like to see them.

[99blackalero]

it would press up a bit in the rear...it's better to have the bumper cut...barely cost anything to do it

[Rubered00]

The muffler shop that i talked to told me they did it to another alero without the person modding the bumper any and it looked fine. Like you said i would like to get it cut out cause i know taht would look better but i cant find a body shop that says they'll do it and gurantee they're work.

[99blackalero]

its really not a huge process, its basically just cutting involved...not much you can have guaranteed by a shop

[Rubered00]

Thanks for your opinion man...i'll go back to the body shops...i think they might've been thinking i wanted something more complicated. I"ve got one more question its off the subject though....how do i get it so im not a "newbie" ne more with just the one diamond???

[dopey]

changes with ur post count.

[Rubered00]

that is what i figured, thanks.

Hey Redog... that looks like a great job your body shop did on the cut out.

Do you have a close up pic of it? Also... do you know what they did to make it look molded and not just hacked out?

[Redog]

It actually a cutout from another car.

The guy at the bodyshop took a scrap bumper and cut the space in my bumper and molded to cutout into my bumper.

I will post some pics soon since I'm getting so many questions about this :D
