IMO it sticks out too far, and "trimming" wouldnt solve anything.

If you shorten the piping, you will need to move the rubber mounting points the same amout. If you have fab skills and know how to weld, its a 15minute job. Thats why Im considering purchasing this system, and making it fit how I want it.

SOUND CLIPS NEEDED!

Look at the pictures in my garage; it doesn't stick out as far as my install pictures make it appear to. IMO the exhaust needs to be flush with outermost part of the bumper, which it is, so you don't get that black exhaust soot buildup on the nice painted bumper surface.

Why waste the time.. Buy the muffler you want and have an exhaust shop do it up. It shouldn't be more than $200 and take about an hour.

Personally, I like the placement of the stock muffler and tip. Mabye it is because the bumper is so short, but every axleback seems to "stick out" too much for my taste.

I'm toying with the idea of getting a custom axleback done. I'd use a normal oval style magnaflow and tuck it up under the bumper then put a turn down on it, and paint it all black. I see alot of stock Jettas and Golfs with an exhaust like that. Then you wouldn't be able to see anything at all hanging under the bumper.
