Am I the only one that thinks a slightly smaller angle cut pipe that actually runs all the way back to the muffler would look a little less ....... fake? Or is this just a rice thing that is a part of todays younger culture that a old hotroder doesn't understand?

I would take this picture with a grain of salt, because 1. the fish-eye lense type of shot they took doesnt exactly compliment the whole thing. 2. Those tips are actually not that bad. They've got a decent rolled lip and they are slant cut which looks far better than the coffee can style from a side view.
I agree with you for the most part. What bugs me is when the exhaust tips are not flush with the body lines. Which is why a nice slant cut slightly smaller tip would go perfectly with the lines of the rear bumper!
