So I agreed and he removed just the rear resonator since he said he would remove other one if it wasn't loud enough. Well, there is about a 20% increase in sound, told him I needed to go to relieve my fiancé before she goes to work with baby patrol but I'd come back next week to have the other removed. Either way I need to go back, the exhaust tips now sit about 3/4" to 1" extended out of diffuser, told them I'd see if they grew on me as well or if I need it to look flush like stock. I'm torn on that portion. Did hear some pops and a nice slight rumble.
Go back and remove the other 2 man. And as far as sticking out, mine probably stick out 1/2 an inch further out anything else will look tacky imo.
I can't tell if this is a good look or not. See pics. And reason I debate removing both is I promised my fiancé I wouldn't mod this car like I did the M5, and feel like she'll call bullshit with the cold start if I take both out. I started it yesterday morning and it was louder than I thought. I don't know if anyone would even notice them poking out a tad like they are. Thoughts ?
It actually looks great.

Removing resonator is a freebie mod tho, so it's not like the entire turbo back was removed and changed.

Removing 2 resonataors I'm sure will significantly make the cold start louder so at that point remove all 4 IMO.
