If you bought stock gt muffler hangers or the Pypes hanger kit it should work out fine with minimal tweaking. If not a shop can fab something up that's stronger and better aligned in the bumper cutouts for pretty cheap usually, which was the case for me.

I bought my car from a guy who had a jerry rigged dual exhaust setup and the GT bumper. I'm not sure what he did but it fits perfectly. Also, shortly after purchasing the car, I bought the Flowmaster 40s catback exhaust. Since it was for the V6 bumper, it had huge hangers to compensate for the bumper not having cutouts, since I had cutouts, I simply asked the mechanic who installed the kit to cut and weld the hangers so that they were closer to the cutouts.
