Put the end up the tips right under the bumper and tuck them up there nice and tight and it will look really clean.

Shoulda left it on man... lol jk jk. Yeah it shouldn't be too hard to cut then re-weld them in closer or something. I just finished my exhaust today and it looks like im going to have to try and tuck the y pipe up more I checked it so many times and it looked fine but i guess i just need to bang the floorboard.. Either way, still shouldn't be that hard and definitely more work than tips, that shouldn't take long at all.
