Default aftermarket exhaust tip is to small

hi to everyone first off. now on to my problem i bought a chrome turndown exhaust tip a couple days ago and its 21/2" .this is the problem it has 2 screws that are used to hold it on well my pipe thats on my truck is also 2 1/2" .so do you guys think it would be better to cut some pipe off and buy a reducer or just weld the tip on after i cut off the extra pipe

take it to a exhaust shop, and have them expand it a bit, unless its chrome, only do that with stainless.

Take it back and have the exhaust shop weld on a good tip. That one would look cheesy with the screws anyway.
