I don't know about the speedtech unit, but I installed a full FabSpeed system without removing the rear bumper. However, it's pretty easy to remove, and that might be the best way with yours.

It can be done without removing the bumper- I've removed the bumper before, but don't think it's actually necessary. But then again, I'm a young guy.

Don't need to take it off .. there's two screws you have to access that's a bit hidden by the bumper but definitely reachable.

I believe there's a pretty decent how to on Pelican.

A friend helped me installed the Fabspeed catback exhaust. Put the car on the hoist and didn't have to remove the bumper.

Slap 'em on and let's hear how they sound!

So…do you have cats on that system? What are you going to do with the O2 sensors?

Got a pic of the pipes?

I love my 'exhausting' system but am contemplating headers….wondering what to do with sensors, know what I would like to do with them…. but what are you doing?
