It's pretty straight forward but maybe a smear of exhaust paste to get a 100% seal and also tighten the clamp with the nuts facing sideways or upwards as then you won't see them from the rear  :happy2:

I've nothing to add about fitting, sorry.  But if i were you, whilst it's unfitted, I'd start loading those tips with layers of sealant, like poorboys, etc.  I know the tips are removable but it's still a bit of a pain in the arse having to take them off to give a relly good polish and then position them again.  the sealant will just give them a good headstart as regards protection from road grime, tar, soot, etc

Not alot maybe 10mm as when the exhaust heats up it will pop out more then it can look like they are stuck out to far. My bluflame one can come out an inch when iv being giving it he'll!!

I know the cars dirty, but this looks about right to me, car was cold so should extend a bit when hot.
