Will the PSE fit with the 03 rear bumper w/diffusers

[blackbox]

I have a 2002 S and I want to upgrade to the 03 rear bumper with the built in diffusers basically because I don't like the aftermarket diffusers. I also have a future mod of the PSE in mind.

I'd like to know if I add the 03 bumper w/diffusers, will they interfere with the tubing on the PSE exhaust? Thanks a bunch.

Depends. If you are referring to the newer 02+ PSE's that don't have the shiny external Sebring Pipes, those do fit the 03 rear bumper with no issues. However, if you are referring to the those pre-02 PSE's with those exterior pipes, then no, they will not fit, because the pipes will interfere with the diffuser section. The 02+ PSEs don't have the large pipes in the back, and instead employ smaller u-pipes hidden behind the rear bumper section, so that it is not visible, but still offers the enhanced sound. In fact, the newer PSE's sound more throaty and raspy than the pre-02 PSEs.

Just a small correction. The 02 PSE has the Sebring pipes. Mine does as the factory option.

thanks for the help. I'll keep that in mind. Maybe by the time I get ready to add the the later model PSE, the prices will have come down.
