All of our USDM models that have the larger "JDM style" tips, are recessed like this. It's the same physical look/design, but the part itself is physically different and mounts further back or doesn't stick out as far. I hate the way they look to be honest.
It has to do with some USDM regulation regarding exhaust tips not sticking out too far because someone burned their leg on one once in a parking lot or something ridiculous.
