It will fit but you may have some melting of the bumper from the exhaust.. I had it and it looked fine. lol. but if you don't want to melt your bumper, get longer hangers or take a dremmel to it. you won't have to cut much.

don't know about the 00-02, but on the 03-05, depends on if you have a rear lip kit on. Without the lip, most aftermarket dual exhausts don't even touch the rear bumper cover if you don't have a lip kit.

The SRT rear barely contacted my '01 rear fascia. Never even got hot enough to melt where it did touch.

i had the r/t muffler on my 01 se, even used pipe clamp straps around the rubber hangers to tuck it close to the bumper.. never melted anything.. 1/8-1/4inch from the bumper..

my last dual outlet muffler melted cutouts for itself. a dremel will do a good job too.

That was my plan with the SRT rear section, but it never got that hot. I must not thrash on it enough?

bumber... someone is going to have a convulsion...

Without a lip kit, you won't have problems on stock bumPers.
Weirdly though, when I installed my lip kit, I noticed that my bumper was burned from my dingy stock exhaust.

Buy a dremel, with the router attachment, then, clean up the cut line with some cheap rubber self adhearing black door bumper guard stuff from autozone. The heat from the exhaust melts the rubber guard/glue to the bumper, making it stick really good

FUCK DUDE. THAT'S ME.

It's called a bumPer and it's spelled with a 'P'. Congratulations, you are NOT smarter than a 5th grader.

I was wondering how long it was going to take you to find that.
