Thinking about cutting my tips off
They're too big, stick too far out, and aren't even. I was thinking that if I cut them off so it would stop before it reaches the bottom of my bumper so you can't see the pipes, but what about the exhaust fumes? Would they come up through the back of the car??

you may be able to buy some pipe thats turned at a 30 degree angle or something and make your own turn downs to direct it more tword the ground if your concerned about heat or smell.

I cut mine off (I hate round pipes sticking out of a rectangular bumper) and no smells or noise or burning. Just ended about 5" before the end of the car (back of the bumper cover).

You're a monster if you can hacksaw that off it 5 minutes. I used a crappy jigsaw and it took like 5 minutes a piece. Sawzall was roughly 14 seconds per pipe (after I smartened up).

in ct it's illegal to let exhaust end before the rear axle if it;s a 4 pass car. that's kinda the minimum in my book

actually it is illegal to to just dump off under the car here in ct, but you can dump out in front of the rear wheels. As long as you are outside of the body. That is the way I had interpereted the laws.
