So I received and installed my new Fister Muffler yesterday. Sounds great by the way. I have no mechanical skills and did it in about 1.5 hours - very easy, took my time.

Anyway, the first step is to "Remove the small bracket that connects the bumper to the frame, right behind the rear wheel". A bolt attaches to the frame and a screw to the bumper. On one side the screw was missing, so the rod was only connected to the frame. The screw is black and has a very wide head almost the size of a nickel. A star pattern bit is required to remove it.

Any reason I should replace it with the original or can I Macqyver it with a wide washer/screw combo? It I was going to Macqyver it seems like that would be the least harmful place on the car to do so but maybe I'm missing something.

no harm

lol, just wondering if it can be 'Macgyver'ed' is a win in my book

Thanks for the comments. Looks like Macgyver is the way to go Spiffyjiff I have a 2005 so no warranty left for me.
