You don't have to take out the rear bumper to change the exhaust. I only took off the rear bumper because 1) I didn't want to prop up the car and later find out that I have to remove the bumper, 2) I didn't want to accidentally scratch or damage the rear bumper, and 3) I wanted to learn how to remove the rear bumper.
I like the sound of this exhaust. I understand having bypass pipes would be beneficial but right now, I don't want it to be any louder. Definitely more enjoyable to drive now.
