1968 442 bumpers

Did all 1968 442 rear bumpers come with the dual exhaust cut outs? (even those built in Canada) Just wanted to double check with the experts.

According to the assembly manual, yes

If it didn't have cutouts, it wouldn't be a "442 bumper". All 68 442s (and H/Os) came with the cutouts. No other 68 Cutlii did, however.

Full exhaust refers to the XY exhaust manifolds and trumpet tip exhausts. Cutout bumper was Mandatory equipment for this option. Note: the XY manifolds do not have the divided runners in the center like the WZ ones. However the WZ ones will fit the 68 400. XY was a one year only production.
