Do you mean can't get the tip on with the standard bumper and valance?
As you won't get it on it isn't a discreet look exhaust ou either need a Anni valance or to cut a hole in your standard one like me and many others have or you can get a 3" downturn that you bolt on in place of the supplied tip.

yup standard valance will need cutting, take your time and it will look good... or as golfyste has done get a 3" 45 bend on the end and keep it discreet

melted bumper? nah should be alright although to be honest, if you cut the valance it does look quite good especially when its got the diagonal cut to it

You might melt your bumper/valance, you need to direct the exhaust flow down really.

It will melt the bumper, My mate did the same thing as he didn't want to cut the valance.

Have you put a new exhaust rubber on? Give a week or two and it will settle a bit  :smiley:
