Surely for heat purposes you need the tips to clear the rear bumper? Unless they put heat shield there anyway and then still not running it to the end.

That's just fitting the stereotype for the average owner these days.

Normally have heat shields there or sufficient clearance that it's unlikely to cause thermal damage (air's a damn good insulator).

It looks crap?
Mine were chrome but I've neglected cleaning them, they look much better all black so they blend in and don't stand out. The actual exhaust sits at the back of the chrome insert, with a gap of about 10mm all the way round.

especially when it is super obvious, aka a plastic plate 10mm after the fake "chrome" trim.
it silly. I'd rather there was no "fake" "exhaust" tip at all.
but people associate twin tips etc with "power"

Any modified car show always has at least one person sitting there in a focus St revving it.
WOOOOOAAAAARRR BANG
WOAAAAARRR BANG

If it's not a Focus its an R35 GTR or a Mini...
Constantly for minutes at a time.

And say things like "bruv" and "innit bruv", and "sick innit bruv".

At one show I started the e30 and limiter bashed it (its much louder than their focus was) to see if it would make them stop. It did for about 20 seconds, then it started again. 
In the past one of the now outspoken lads in our club has gone over took the keys out of the car and threw them into the lake. Everyone in the campsite then applauded. Was brilliant to see, he's built like a brick you know what so there was no come back. He mainly did it as this was at 2am and his little girl was trying to sleep.At one show I started the e30 and limiter bashed it (its much louder than their focus was) to see if it would make them stop.

In recent years the police are present and soon put a stop to it after about 10pm.

It completely depends on the car imho. Classy, more expensive cars where its supposed to be like that then it's fine, but boy racers in their modded cars - I just think chav, and quite embarrassing really.

Theres a guy I know with an identical red E30 325i Touring to mine, he has installed an ECU chip so on the over-run it goes POP POP BANG BABANG BANG BANG POP POP and spits flames.
It sounds fantastic the first few times, but eventually it gets a bit annoying. Not sure I could live with that.
The chips are cheap (as chips!
) and easy to fit though so I might put one in just to be annoying on the next car run we do.

At the end when he asks about a 'driveby' and the Dre guy clearly thought he meant an actual driveby.....
Well, he is a gangster. Innit.
No car is supposed to be like that. Some pop slightly, but none do it like that and not constantly. It's 100% fake and properly tuned cars don't do it, even modern racing cars.
