Rear bumper cut outs

Dodge got it right when they added the smooth cut outs for duel exhaust beginning in 2010. It looks considerably better than the pipes hanging below the bumper. Has anyone retrofitted a Dodge bumper or modified the existing Ford rear to accommodate duel exhaust?

I adgree with this, I wish ford had done the same or had the option to do the same. Dodge hit a home run with that, and for that sole reason I almost purchased a dodge over my 2012 f150. BTW I have always owned a ford and will continue to purchase fords until they **** me off over mods or some other bs that I hear other people fussing about.
Food for thought, even the Edge and the Flex has rear bumper cut outs for dual exhaust and they are far from sporty.

So...you almost bought a DODGE solely because they had exhaust cut-outs in the bumpers?

Methinks you'd have cursed that truck, exhaust cut-outs and all, after a while.

Side exhaust is the proper configuration for anyone that does any towing.

Yeah, Ram. Don't you just love those new "Ram" commercials where they try to lead folks to believe that "At Ram, we only build trucks"? As if to say they're some kind of specialty company or something...

Kinda cool looking but I like the exhaust under the bumper I like the clean line of the bumper than the exhaust

Agree, had the Magnaflow with dual rear exhaust on my '05 Lariat 4x4 Screw and after a while it just looked tacky to me...sort of wanna be a racer!! After having the '09 Plat and now the '13 Plat, I am definitely a fan of the single rear side exit (stock position).

Saw a 13 raptor at dealership yesterday. Duel exhaust coming out of each rear quarter panel flush with the body with SS flanges. Looked very very good but you would have to have some big hairy ones to cut holes in your panels
