Default High Mount "shorty"

I have a LeoVince High mount titanium exhaust on my bike, but to me the silencer portion looks too long. I was thinking about cutting down about 6 inches. I know it'll get louder, but loud pipes save lives. Just wanted to get some outside opinions on it.

Definately cut it down, side mounts always look better short. Your current pipe looks like it's for a bike 50% bigger.

Yes, in this picture, it looks dumb. IMHO I'd find a diffferent pipe rather than chop a Leo Ti pipe..

I'm not sure. I was going to ask the same question. I was thinking of using a grinder with a abrasive cutting wheel. Anyone else have suggestions?
