So I'm not really sure the pipe needs to be shortened? Not really sure what that would gain except not having it protrude into the tip? You can't really see it. OTOH the tip has the least tolerance to trimming. I would imagine you would want to leave some of the slits so the clamp can squeeze. But the slits are only 1" deep so I wouldn't be comfortable taking more than 1/2" off. You could make deeper slits but that is lot more work for the DIY'er and might get you another 1/2" at most.

I may have to get everything hung before I know how this will work out...

I don't think people were saying the pipe itself needed to be shortened but, the collar on the passenger side tip itself needs to lose about 3/4 inch. In my case I also cut those slits a bit longer to make up for the lost material on the collar.

If you simply jam the passenger side tip forward, the bend in the pipe causes the tip to angle to the right which looks unsightly.

Hopefully I'll have time tonight to get a couple pics of what I'm talking about.

I'm sure the adjustable tips are a tiny bit heavier with the clamps and the extra length of tubing involved but its minimal.
