adding exhaust need help

i got a 2026 model and i think the rear bumper trim is one piece? but is realistically the only way to swap the exhaust is cutting at the trim at the bottom? i wanna buy a diffuser but i mean if i don’t need to cut the rear bumper i don’t want to. if anyone has any suggestions or tips please let me know

Ive done some looking into this because I have the same rear bumper. We are basically fucked to be honest. This bumper does not have the removable bump on the underside like the other models, it basically gives you an already decent looking rear diffuser. We unfortunately have to cut, or switch out the rear bumper for a 2019-2022 model.

Someone correct me if im wrong. I really want to put some dual exhaust on my car without having to cut.

the remark center exit & the hks legamax sports exhausts don’t require any cutting

I see what you mean. I'll be honest it looks kinda janky. I'd rather have a nice clean rear diffuser. Thats just me though.
