take it to a muffler shop and see if they can fix it first before you go chopping up your bumper..youll regret cutting your bumper unless you like the ghetto look..

Dont cut your bumper! cheaper to just find the right spot for the bumper...

seriously, why cut your bumper? when my old N1 was burning my rear bumper, my shop installed teflon spacers inside the rubber hangers and zip-tied them secure. did it for free, too. Worked like a charm for 1.5 years before i removed them when I changed my exhaust setup.

do you KNOW how low the spacers dropped it? No, because i never said. they cut the spacers so there was just enough space that it wouldn't burn the bumper. it was still a close fit, but at least the burning stopped. I would say it was lowered maybe 2/10 of an inch at max.
