New Body Kit...What to do with exhaust? Need opinions

[LoW96Rs03]

Hey...new to the board....anyways.....im getting my buddy club 2 kit this monday and I was jus realizing that im either going to have to get a new exhaust or cut the bumper out because its a hp racing cat back exhaust and it sits at an angle. I dont want to get a new exhaust cause i like the sound of it with the hi flow cat but i duno if i wanna cut the bumper of the nice body kit ya know? What should I do? Possibly go to an exhaust shop and bend the piping so the exhaust sticks straight out or should I go ahead and cut the bumper out a lil bit? What would you do?

Have an exhaust shop put a straight pipe in. Just replace the pipe that angles it out, and weld in a straight one. SHouldnt be too hard or expensive. You could probably do it yourself even.

Don't straighten the bent pipe.

Buy a straight section and have someone weld it in place of the bent piece. Yes, it will be cheaper, as used exhausts are worth less than your shirt.
