They're only 4" long, so you can readily see them as an add-on. They angle downward at a 5-10* pitch, and on my car, were hardly centered to the bumper.

Anyway, I'm none too fond of them, and for a while now have been trying to figure out a simple solution that would make me happier with the tips, without breaking the bank on a whole new exhaust...

...which I do want! But eventually, just not right now. So here's my answer:

1. A pair of Magnaflow Stainless Steel, 3.5", single-wall tips with a 45* slash-cut. ($52 shipped, from MagnaflowDepot.com)
2. A couple hours at a trusted and skilled mechanic, $100 + tax (because he likes me. Go figure.)

My total: $160 start to finish. Here are the before/after pictures.

The welding is all the way around, and solid as a rock. They're perfectly parallel to the ground, centered in the cut-outs, and with just enough room to still get my fingers in there and clean them.

The only compromise here is that at a straight-on perspective, the tips are almost invisible, because of the single-wall design. However, as soon as you move one way or the other, that goes away. And personally, I think the profile is beautiful. Particularly with the 45 degree cut, which I think really accents the bumper well.

Here are a few more pictures.
