Rear bumper brace install

Regarding a brace like this one:

Do you have to pull the rear bumper off for this install? Or can you pull the exhaust and get it in from under the car?

If I remember correctly you'll need to pull the bumper.

You'll have to do a bumper pull because it looks like it slots right behind the metal bumper underneath the plastic bumper cover. Removing the rear bumper is easy though, 30 minute job if you've done it before, an hour if you're OCD like me
