Well they didnt cut completely through the pipe, they cut slice out, bent it up and welded the cut back together... That was the only spot to cut the pipe to "lift" it up..

you can do the same.... angle the tips up, then slice behind the tips to angle it down... in this case angle it level. This way, you can get fairly close to the bumper to make it look stock position without seeing any weld mounts since it will be higher up tucked in the bumper.

No biggie, It looks good, Im just sayin.

Yeah really, it looks like they did a rather nice job. I'm also glad to see you still have your cats. Factory cats are fairly high flow, and do a bit of muffling of their own, not to mention the obvious environmental benefit to having them. Alas, even aftermarket mufflers are too loud for me, but to each his own.

You just made changing your spark plugs a 5 minute job while saving a lot of weight from back there!

I think you could get them to fit up a little better but this whole thread is

"I've been driving around for a week without mufflers"
"I basically bought them for the looks"
"They arent that loud. ( I used to work around jet engines all day, a flat six motor is nothing)"

WHAT ???
