I'm not really into the "shorty" look either but wanted to change the look/sound of my bike, had consider going with the Akro Hex EVO II slip-on but that was $560. Figured what the hell and cut the can down, actually turned out shorter than I originally wanted but the look has grown on me.
The look isn't for eveybody but I'm ok with it so that's what matters. Thanks for all the replies.
