The OEM tips are cut from the inside of the opening of the tip. I used my Dremel tool with metal cutting disks. The tips were given to me by a friend (C8 owner) after he installed the AWE exhaust in his C8. The tips are made by Akrapovic. and I think he got them from eBay.

Did you have to remove the bumper to tighten the new tips on?

@CarlosC8 What's the thickness of the metal tips and long did it take you to cut through one? When you say it's a close fit, do you think a sawzall will work just as well as a dremel? Did you use the clamps or weld the tips instead? I have both tools, but I thought the sawzall may do it faster. Thanks.
But yeah, not a chance you're fitting a sawzall in there with the rear on. Not so easy to tell from the angle of my pic here, but where you need to cut is a good 3-4 inches inside of where the bottom of the body rectangle opening protrudes. It looks space-y with the tips off, but when they're on and you're cutting... yeah naw:
