Exhaust too short?

[CivicEx'00]

I just installed a DNA header and a YONAKA catback with an eBay test pipe, and all together, the exhaust sets inward of the bumper about an inch and a half. I don't mind the sound necessarily, but the lack of a cat is causing a slight carbon buildup on the surface of the bumper. It was difficult to pull everything together for it to fit, but I made it work with no leaks.

If there was a 1inch extender peice that was sold that I could bolt in that would be ideal. I did the entire exhaust myself, and I would be seriously diasapointed if I had to take it in now to get 1 inch of pipe welded in.

And input is appreciated as always

I don't think it's supposed to stick out.
My RSR was tucked in a bit.

You may need to go into a muffler shop to correct that tbh. It doesn't sound like you installed anything wrong (plus it's pretty straight forward idk how you could do that), so either get a whole new exhaust set up, or go to a muffler shop to get the pipes extended just a bit. Not sure there is any other solution unless you actually know how to weld and can do it yourself.
