Default Borla X-pipe install. Does the rear bumper need to be removed?

I noticed the rear bumper/plastic has to be removed to do a full cat back exhaust. I'm sure curious if this has to be done to install just the borla X-pipe. Just don't want any suprises when I take it to the dealer, or if I even start to tackle it in my garage. Thanks!

No it doesn't. It's a really quick and easy install, especially if you have a lift!

Just the X-pipe... then no. If having difficulties, loosening the mufflers clamps will help.
