is it even possible? the upper canister basically sits up inside the bumper with this exhaust. you could cut the rear bumper but i dont see how you could "tuck" it without melting the plastic.

I'd def be curious to see it. I'm looking to get the bassani exhaust, but I've only seen the bumper tuck on exhausts with dual canisters. I think it looks amazing on those cars because you can see the pumpkin. With the Nismo, Bassani, or other similarly styled exhausts, I don't think it would look as good. I'm still curious to see pics though, so post 'em up!

^ i think you see this mod on single exhausts more than duals.

It's a necessary mod to the stock bumper with a single exhaust IMO. I think it would look cheesy to have an empty exhaust cutout. Not necessary with an HKS or similarly styled exhaust, but does look very sick.

You know where the screws/bolts hold the supports at the bottom of the rear bumper?

All you do is unbolt these, fold the bottom part of the bumper back, and bolt it into place. You'll have to drill holes in the bottom portion of the bumper.

I can take a pic of my bumper tuck tomorrow.
The pic basically can tell the install, very self-explanatory.
