"no you didnt need a new bumper, i just cut mine, really easy. everyone does it. you can just buy a set of mufflers of your choice, and have an exhaust shop make you an x or h pipe. shouldn't cost more than 200 bucks+price of mufflers"
if i take it to a exhaust shop can the straight pipe it to get it better air flow

suggestions
thanks!
Please note that louder doesn't necessarily = better. The 4.0L does sound a bit better than the old 3.8L, but compared to the 4.6L it sounds like ass, straight piping it would only exacerbate that.
If you're after sound quality get an H-pipe and some mufflers, like flowmaster 50's or something more aggressive than stock, but more mild than a single chamber muffler. You'll end up with a more mellow sound that's still going to be quite a bit louder than stock.
If you're after performance, get an X-pipe and single chamber mufflers. It'll sound raspy (not in a good way) and it'll be loud (again not in good way) but you'll gain an extra few HP over the H-pipe setup. Either way if you go with an off-road X-pipe/catless, then you'll need MIL eliminators or a custom tune so you're not throwing codes constantly.
Of course this will likely cost more than $400. But this is a scenerio where you get what you pay for.
