Default Bumper cutouts for Exhaust

I already know that I am not the only one that is bugged by the fact that there aren't cutouts for an Exhaust, however has anyone modified their bumper so that it fits in there nicely? Just curious, I think it looks cleaner than having the exhaust hang out the bottom of the bumper.

If you mean an upside down "U" shaped area in the bumper where the exhaust could exit, I agree that would look very clean.
However, without that, I much prefer the angled exit behind the wheels to the "straight out under the bumper look."

I like the cutout too on the Dodge, but below the bumper straight back is cool with me too...

Don't get me wrong, I do like the way it looks coming out the back like that, just curious if anyone has modified their bumpers so it has the cutouts...

Are those tips on the black platinum angled out?

I like the clean look as well - that's why I "dumped" my pipes. Don't have to clean them either which is a plus.

you don't get any buildups or soot films on the tailgate or anything with that setup?

From a different angle:


A slightly more aggressive look than side exit pipe(s)... that goes with the great new sound!
