You don't HAVE to replace the bumper... you can simply cut your v6 bumper... lots of guys have done it...
Yep! Thats what I did!
The material is very soft.. Poly Urethane.. So when you cut it, dont use a high speed wheel.. Just measure the other side, in terms of the radius.. Then mark those spots on the opposite side.. Then you must draw a line to join the two points with about a 4 inch radius.. Maybe 4 1/2..
Then you will have to cut it with a shop knife... Kind of hard to explain...
Here is a good write up on someone that cut his rear bumper. Might be of help.

???? I've seen pics of a lot of cut V6 bumpers... none of them which looked like poop.... And in my opinion the V6 bumper actually looks better than the GT...
I cut my bumper. It was not very hard at all. There is an old saying, "Measure twice, cut once." VERY good advice. Measure, measure, measure, then cut. It helps to make a paper template of the existing notch once you have removed the stock muffler. Tape some kraft paper to the bumper with blue painters tape (easy to remove, no residue) and from the inside mark the notch with a sharpie. Then cut out the paper notch and flip it so it's a mirror/reverse image on the drivers side. Then mark the bumper and cut with a sharp utility knife. After you cut it to your satisfaction touch up the edges with some touch up paint. Here's some pics of mine and I think it turned out good.

A good exhaust shop will have no trouble or wont even think twice about cutting the bumper for duals. Just ask around. Ask if they done any 05's and up and if they have a problem notching the bumper for the muffler to clear. I was a little nervous about the bumper being cut too when I got my exhaust done. Ya gotta think, thats what they do for a living though. Mine looks decent.
