I was thinking of the metal shielding, cutting would work, just voids the reversible principle I work under. I saw the foam under the bumper, there is a 1-2" gap to the plastic bumper and some air flow through there as well.

I think I can make it work, half of the exhaust pipe is lower then the boat tail and there is 3-4" from exhaust tip to tail so a small redirect should work.

Have you looked at doing a belly pan from the axle back to the bumper? I think I could slide a piece of metal into the axle area (U shaped piece) and run it back to the boat tail. I am not sure about the mount point on the front of that piece (axle). Ideas? Would that act as a belly pan or a air scoop (aka does the air look to you like it goes under or over the axle)?
