1) Use a floor jack with a towel/rag on top and lift the middle "flap" until it's pressed against the bottom of the aluminum bar

2) Get a drill w/ small bit and drill holes (anywhere you want) upwards from the flap through the bar

3) Put self-tapping screw through holes

4) It's free, minus the cost of screws and electricity for drill/Dremel

*It's ugly with OEM. The OEM exhaust is big and flat black.

^seriously it will look stupid folding rear bumper having an oem exhaust. i just installed my hks and will probably do the fold to show off the whole exhaust

A jack isn't "needed," no. But using a floor jack helps fold the bumper much higher and more even. If you note, some bumpers have a droop or dip in the middle. Using a floor jack keeps it nice and even and also affords more time/comfort to place the screws more evenly, etc.

I just did mine and it was super easy!

Looks good guys. I gotta do mine very soon. I just had a custom single done the other week.

HKS TI by far looks the best. Not fond of the single exhaust with the bumper mod

I agree. I never loved the bumper tuck, but once I got my HKS on I HAD to show it off

I love the look of the rolled rear now.

^^ +1000... Not a fan of the look on singles.. But the HKS looks...
