No worries. Yeah, it looks more stock than the stock one!
I just used a reciprocating saw and trimmed the pipe back. The stock pipe has a 45 around the same spot as where the silicone joiner is so I just cut it there on the corner. It's not my favourite option but it works to get it going. Once I tightened the hose clamps on it I pulled on it with all my weight and it didn't move, so I can't imagine 14psi blowing it off in too much of a hurry. If you could find just the drivers side stock pipe that'd probably make life easier but it's pretty straight ahead to just trim.
Both the lower pipes are already steel so it's not massively up there on my priority list, I am keen to get rid of the braided hoses at some point though so yeah, I might look at doing the lot at some stage but I'm pretty happy with how it is for now.
The Kia doesn't sound like a fun time, haha. Glad to hear you beat it.
