No heating and bending necessary. There are some slip joints on the exhaust that allow for a fair amount of adjustability. I didn't install it myself, so I can't exactly say what one needs to do in order to get them flush...all I can say is that if the installer knows what they are doing it should be no problem.

Sweet! that is my one complaint about my Stillen CBE. I am not crazy about the tips and I have considered changing them out. I like the ones that have the Bluish effect but I cant remember the manufacture.

Try to get them adjusted by someone that knows what they're doing. If you want to go with burnt tips, check out Greddy and Invidia.
