Default how do I avoid park distance sensors when cutting rear valence for custom exhaust?

I am getting my exhaust done tomarrow morning and started looking closer at the rear bumper cover and rear valence. the wireing and sensors for the park distance control is in the way of where the tips look like they will need to go. anyone else had this problem? will I just need to have the muffler and tips installed w/ a bend in them to move to the side and avoid the park distance control?

Default Had mine cut, just stay away from them, that's all. Really not a problem....

unless your exhaust is misaligned already - then you'll have to have a muffler shop line things up for you.

Default so they just angeled your mufflers away from them and tweeked the tips to look straight?

it looks to me like the mufflers will have to be at one hell of an angle to avoid the sensors on exit through the valence.
