So I got a custom 2.25" pipe ran from the cat with a magnaflow muffler not sure model number with a chrome tip. Sounds great, however I would like to cut the fascia and then go back to have them raise it a little. What type of power tool should I use to cut into the rear fascia? I plan on useing a dremel for touch up but the actual cut what should I use? Has anyone done this pics would be awesome.

a fine tooth jigsaw or saw-z-all would work. Or a dremel with a steady hand.

Just dont forget to seal off the cut so it doesn't lead to rust. And what about cutting it with one ofImagethese

Unless you can fashion some sort of ribbed edge for it, it might end up looking like a hack job. Be careful when you cut
