How to hide Dinan tip clamps

Does anyone have a way to hide the Dinan muffler tip clamps? The only real solution I can think of is to mark the tip position, drop the muffler, rotate the clamps to the top, make sure the tips are still in the correct position, tighten, and reinstall the muffler

Not sure How they look but I replaced my clamps on the OG with regular stainless steel hose clamps

The M3/4 and OG Dinan systems came with the tips welded on. For some reason the Comp ones are slip on with clamps.

Interesting. I was going off what Dinan shows on their website and what I have on my M2C. I wonder why there are two versions. FYI, the Dinan with xpipe makes the S55 sound a lot better, but a midpipe really helps clean up the rest.
