While possible to remove the bumperettes with the muffler in place (at least on my '87) it is farr from easy unless you have Gumby-like arms.

It was far easier with the muffler out, especially since the nuts were frozen in place - at least one of the nuts was so frozen on that it came out of the bumperette instead of the nut coming off of the stud.

Removing the bumper to cover the bumperette holes, clean and/or repaint the bumper, install & wire different license plate lights, etc., really do require muffler removal.

Of course, if you have to remove the muffler, it's also a good time to upgrade the exhaust. ;-)

(The slippery slope beckons.)
