I have modified exhaust and no problems there isn't as far as I know any real laws in utah at least about modifying your exhaust except for that it can't have holes and must not cause harm to (burn) anyone while entering the vehicle, I'm no expert though, also though if the bumper is covered why would they have any reason to speculate, besides you see cars turboed aftermarket all the time that have to make mods to the body like that. I know a guy who had an eclipse that he had to do a similar cut to fit his front mount.
