Plus the fact that I wanted a little bit of a contrast in the rear rather than a complete blackout look.

The tips looked huge out of the box, but as you can see, they are just slightly smaller than the stock 4.6is once installed. I had the muffler shop take about 1 1/2 inch off (in length) from the inlet in order for those tips to tuck back in a bit from the bumper. Otherwise, they will be parallel with the rear bumper, which makes it stick out a tad too much for my tastes (the original overall length of these tips are about 9 1/2 inches!).
Can you take some close up pictures of the length of the exhaust tips that you have sticking out? i want a good idea on how far to leave mine out.
