v6 bumper-gt bumper
 
So i bought an H pipe, and slp exhasut, I need to put the gt bumper on my 2003 v6 so I can have the cut outs. will the gt bumper bolt right up using the factory v6 mounting stuff??????? need to know if it will for sure

Yes the gt bumper will fit to the v6 mounting surfaces with no problems

will the exhaust tips line up at the right spots tho? I have an 02 with magnaflow dual catback and i was considering buying it but was afraid it wouldn't line up correctly

If you bought stock gt muffler hangers or the Pypes hanger kit it should work out fine with minimal tweaking. If not a shop can fab something up that's stronger and better aligned in the bumper cutouts for pretty cheap usually, which was the case for me.

I bought my car from a guy who had a jerry rigged dual exhaust setup and the GT bumper. I'm not sure what he did but it fits perfectly. Also, shortly after purchasing the car, I bought the Flowmaster 40s catback exhaust. Since it was for the V6 bumper, it had huge hangers to compensate for the bumper not having cutouts, since I had cutouts, I simply asked the mechanic who installed the kit to cut and weld the hangers so that they were closer to the cutouts.

the tips will line up. All I had to do was shorten the hangers easy fix

Slightest bit off topic, but couldnt you literally get a jigsaw or saw of some kind and cut out a spot for the exhaust? JW
