I would cut it per the red line visible in this quick drawing. Personally, I would think that as long as the pipe is cut flush with or a bit inboard of the rear wheel well contour line, you will be in a good place visually. Just my humble opinion.

Allen,

Nice drawing and nicely put. I think you are correct, when the pipe looks right ( to me ) I'll know it.

Plan to work on the car this weekend and will likely have the pipe end midway between the body line and the wheel well contour line, similar to your sketch but with the tip a bit shorter and with a square cut end, versus the angle cut.

Have always liked the square cut and not sure why, it's all in the eye of the beholder I suppose. Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!
