Default Single exhaust

Im planning to switch out my current loud and annoying exhaust to either a JIC or HKS single exhaust. I was wondering if any one else has done this and if so where can I go (bodyshop?) to have my rear bumper modified so that there are not 2 openings for a dual exhaust, instead have it folded into the current bumber. Also if you have any feedback on this modification please leave it whether it be on which exhaust you would recommend or if these was a bad idea in general. Thank you for all your help.

Heres mine. I just folded the bumper up with some wire. Honestly I am getting board with the look. I want to change it soon though.

I like the flip up mod on the bumper except I don't like the fact that the rear diff shows a lot. I bought a single exit exhaust brand new but never installed it because I was skeptical about the look of a single exhaust on a Z. I ended up selling it and sticking to the stock duals.

lol that sucks. i guess i was just going for the look and the cost efficiency. TD exhausts are just kinda out of my price range at the current moment.

john bronze has a clean setup,

for the op though i feel having a single exhaust setup in so. cal you would be more prone to get rolled from cops though since they can tell it is modified, just my .2 cents but good luck though
