I told him that the exhaust they sent me was sticking out a good three inches from the bumper. Bryan said they are making them a little longer now so that they stick out about a fingers width from the rear. He asked me to send him pictures of mine.

I had my muffler shop take an inch off each tailpipe and refit the tips back on. They are now about a fingers width out from the rear, I cant get them flush because the right tailpipe has a bend and that's keeping the tip from going flush, even with the pipe being cut. I told Bryan at Berk about this and he said he can fab up som new tips for me by cutting the collars shorter on them so they clear then bend. Since I had the pipes cut an inch they now look pretty good. Not flush, but just a little past the rear. I am satisfied with them now. So just a heads up to those of you looking to get these pipes. They may not sit flush to your bumper, and the tips are definitely different then the older versions.
My Berk exhaust (bought 4 months ago) arrived with the adjustable tips.

I didn't bother posting this but I had to cut the collar down on one tip so that it could be slid further towards the front. If you have an air rotary tool with a cutting wheel attachment this is pretty easy but it should've been flush from the factory imo. The drivers side tip slid into place easily because theres no bend in the way on that side.

I really need to write a review on the Berk installs thread! I get compliments from all types of people on the sound but fitment is still a bit of an issue with these.
