Default Should I ?!

Keep my lsportline bumper and shell ot 750 for the lsportline exhaust or what I may want to do is switch to a Blitz rear cover, keep my exhaust and then just sell my new lsport bomper..

Also does the blitz rear cover require the blitz exhaust or is it only the lsport bumper that requires the same make exhaust.

I am leaning toward switching to the blitz bumper instead of paying 7-800 for exhaust I just want to make sure my Borlas will fit it properly.

Please give me some good honest opinions as I am going to do one of these 2 things tommorow at the latest.

Thanks , mike

I'd try to customize the exhaust first...

Not a big deal to get a section welded in. The mounting brackets might be an issue but some custom brackets could be made. Find a place that does custom exhaust!!!

That would be ALOT cheaper than your other options.

Good luck.

I like the L-Sportline bumper...keep it!

Cheap:

Find ltuned tips. Cut off borla tips. Weld on new tips to borla.

net damage? $80 (15 for each of the tips and 50 for labor)


Right:

Get the exhaust.


What I would do.

Get the exhaust. It blends better and looks better. If you've already painted your bumber, the paint on the thing alone is expensive and will be wasted. If you haven't painted it, the loss on the bumper (shipping/used etc) woudl be pretty significant (~$100)

Default Get The Exhaust

Hey Bad,


Getting a real Blitz rear bumper would be around the price of the exhaust, not counting the shipping. Unless you have a great deal on one. Get the lsportline ehaust, save the money on shipping. You already have the bumper. Now, if you decide to go the other route, I would be more than happy to buy the rear bumper from you. Let me know.

Default L-Sportline Exhaust

Trust me you won't regret it. I have the complete L-Sportline kit including the exhaust and it sounds hot. I've been trying to upload my pic's but I haven't had the chance but hopefully over the weekend I will. also I am going to try to upload video's as well as the sound of the L-Sportline exhaust.

Holla...
