It seems it was intended for the writing to be visible which means the tips would need to extend beyond the bumper. They're adjustable and I have the outside tips pushed in as far as possible to better follow the curve of the bumper, but they still attract a bit more attention then I'd like. I may swap them out for the matte black tips. When making the purchase I liked the idea of the chrome to match the other silver accents on the car, but it's starting to bother me. It looks a little out of place. I want it to look aggressive, but not like a 20 something's ricer...

The matte black tips may yield less attention by blending in more with the rear valance. Another route is to just have a reputable exhaust shop fit a pair of tips exactly how you want. Either going down to a 3.5" outlet and/or decreasing the amount they stick out. From the quick reading I've done on the Dinan exhaust, the Dinan tips will probably have to be cut off in order to achieve the result. The best part is neither of those would affect the performance or sound. As long as you have at least a 3" outlet then it'll be free flowing without any restrictions.
