I have pure excellence, which is simply an additional bumper trim or "diaper" on the lower valence; painted to match vehicle color. Similar to the x line; except not chrome.
This kit will not accept that trim into it; but to be honest it is not noticeable with the "diaper" anyway with my hitch. So I'm perfectly happy with the result!
I did the valence removal and install myself and had a muffler shop swap the tips for $60.
BUMP for this seller!

Was the valence easy to remove? How's the exhaust sound now? |
Worst part that no one really tells you is you have to remove two rivets per rear fender flare.
Beyond that there are like 6-10 screws; then you have to pry all along the valance with a pry tool; there are about 20 clips to pop out.
Took me maybe an hour taking my time and watching a hitch video and referring to various posts.
Best to buy a rivet gun and rivets to re-secure your fender flares. They have clips to hold them in too but they were there for a reason...
Skill level maybe low to medium required. If you can handle a screw driver, drill, and socket wrench and have common sense — done deal easy.
Sound is a little throatier; has more of a performance sound to it. Barely noticeable in my opinion but no droning like some say.
Also important to note this kit comes with the exhaust valve dummy plug — for you to remove your existing exhaust valve with the exhaust tips and plug this item into. Zero errors with this installed.
