This could make the exhaust tips scrape or crack the rear valence (plastic bumper). By supporting the muffler this wont happen. The towel will be extra insurance. Dont forget to remove the vacuum tube that connects to the outside of the original muffler. That will be closed off by a solid piece on the new muffler.
this is the part of buying something for $700 some dollars taking a hack saw or sawzall to my car... id screw it up somehow and kick myself in the ass for it
