2012 Escalade Premium Bumper

That's exactly what I was thinking..

Well, I imagine part of the reason behind this configuration is that a fender bender won't damage the exhaust.

So Serge when are you going to get that bumper?

 

[soulsea]

Not sure yet Felix ... i'll cross that bridge once I sell the HyHoe.

And I haven't even brought myself to list her yet.

 

[felixgun]

Just keep her as a back up vehicle

Well that there would really bug me. Would have to get some custom welding crap to get those connected.

I feel cheated that they fit like that. I am glad I passed on this bumper now

Well to be fair, the problem here is that the tips are part of the bumper and not the exhaust, like they are on all the Mercs, Biiiiiiiiiimurz, Acuras, etc.. The travel of the bumper and exhaust is always somehow separate for obvious reasons. Once GM decided to attach the tips to the bumper this is the only way they could do it. The question is, why would they do that?

I thought it was functional tips not just dual exhaust that exits behind the bumper and some may float out of the holes...

This is exactly right. If you weld that exhaust to those tips you're asking for a lot of problems.
