Has anyone added a AMG exhaust tip to their 500E. A local parts shop told me that I would have to have cutouts done on my rear bumper valance. Is this true or does someone make a "AMG" tip that will connect and curve so as to look normal?

------------------

Have you actually found these parts? AMG usually does not make just tips. Although, they do make the single chrome tip for the newer SLK & CLK. You may have to buy the entire rear muffler section which the AMG chrome tips are attached to. I had a AMG muffler installed on my car and the shop had to make a cut out in the rear lower valance.
