CME install
I have an appointment to get my valence installed and blended on monday. Will I have room to install the cme tips with the valence installed?

My stock tips are on now but I'm going to cut them off before it goes in. I just wanted to know if there is room to install the cme tips without taking the valence back off after it is painted.

I had plenty of room for mine. My exhaust guy worked really hard on my setup and we were bouncing ideas off of each other throughout the install and what we came up with was swelling the 90* elbows so that the ends of the elbows fit snugly inside the ends of the tip, but still allowed movement. This allowed me to move the tip side to side and up and down to get it exactly where I wanted it and I used 2.5" band clamps to secure it instead of welding it. However, I did weld the elbows to the tailpipes so that the connection would be solid there.

And the exhaust shop managed to screw up installing my tips. Now I'm going to have to take it to a different shop and see if they can fix it.

I had the valence painted where i'm originally from then had them install it. I had to go back to lincoln where I live and didnt want to drive with the exhaust shooting on the valence. So I figured that the local exhaust shop should be able to accomplish this task because it really didnt look that difficult to me. My dad emailed me these pictures this morning and I was not impressed one bit.
