Hi, I bought an aftermarket exhaust tip with dual tips to replace the single, wide-mouth tip. It's a direct bolt-on and was a simple install. However, it sticks out further than stock and I don't like the look. Has anyone tried cutting the centre pipe (the one that the tip bolts on to)? If so, what did you use to cut it? I believe it's stainless. I think cutting about an inch off should get the new tip where I want it. Any thoughts on how you would approach it?

I would just measure the overhang you want to remove. Clean the pipe, mark with tape for your cut line. Get a 12" hacksaw to do the cutting, something similar to this would do the job fine -

Looks about standard to me...

Kuro, what are those tips? They have a very simple, vintage, old race car feel to them.......

Hence my selection, yes...
They are straight cut tips, on a Soul X-pipe:
