MCS bumpers on MC-what to do with the exhaust??

I'm going to try this post in this fourm.....

I have just recently replaced my MC bumpers with MCS bumpers...front went flawless of course...

However, the rear, I want to have the exhaust exit in the center like the MCS does. Has anyone re-routed the exhaust? I don't have a problem with getting rid of the spare tire or factory muffler, but...I don't want it to be loud. I drive this car on the highway quite a bit and don't want the drone at highway speeds.

Any advice before I begin. I already have the bumpers mounted, I'm just using the MC rear valance until I get this figured out.

thanks to all...

Actually, I believe you can just replace the black trim part and voila, you have the correct placement for your MC exhaust.

I was told that the tie-in to the arches was different between the MC and MCS. Since BBG appears to have 1 of each, how about taking a good look and letting us know.

I've been contemplating rerouting my MCS exhaust to come out where the MC does to eliminate a lot of bends in the pipe.
