Yes, you shouldn't be cutting through the chromed portion, but rather through 
the area where the pipe makes its undesirable bend, which is upstream of the 
chrome.   You shouldn't have to cut the tips at all.

Somebody (Doug?) please post a photo of Pre-L Mind Train mufflers so he can 
see what he's aiming at?

Thanks!
