Cutting back tail pipe for tip?

I have a stock exhaust setup with a 14" Magnaflow muffler and want to install a 8" Gibson single wall stainless tip. The section exiting to the rear after the bend is 10". Should I cut this back before installing the tip? I have done a search and couldn't find a definite answer to this question. Appreciate any input except saying "just put duals on"!

Yes, you should cut it back unless you want the end of the stock tailpipe to be visible.
