Default Cutting Saddlebags

Ive got an 06 street glide with extended gator boxes. One of the boxes is cracking out at the bottom where the exhaust would come out. These boxes do not have the exhaust holes cut out. The box is cracking on the exact line that it would be cut for exhaust ran out of the back of the bike. Has anyone cut their bags and fender to have the exhaust ran out the back? If so how hard is it. I cant find any information on it. I dont know if I would be better off to sale my bags and just buy new ones with the holes cut out or just cut the ones I have.
