Default Borla tips a bit too excited!

Guys,
I'm looking for some ideas on reducing the protruding tips on my recently purchased 2001 WS6.
Take a look at the pics to see what I mean. They just bug me. They stick out too far!

A trip to your local exhaust shop is probably gonna be your only option.

Can you post a pic from underneith? They may not be fully pushed onto the outlet pipes or somehow installed incorrectly...

Huge improvement, like getting braces in 1/2 hour. No more buck teeth! Looks right now.
