Default Little short pipes

I have seen a lot of stunters with teeny little pipes. Is there a way to buy them, or are they fabbed/hacked up from regular pipes?

I have always thought the big shiny pipe looked out of place on my black bike, and as we have seen lately the short, low pipes are now the wave of the future.

Anyone know the answer to this? I want a CF one obviously.

Here you go....This is the best I got..Hope this works for you I don't want to hear about the "No Gear is Queer" ****...Kinda old...If you don't and you eat ****...its your own fault..end of story. These guys do wear the chest and back protectors underneath though(Icon pants as well and boots most of the time).

Does it sound any different or no??? I'd imagine it'd be a little louder.

I like the one on Darius's black CBR. The muffler is under the belly, terminates before the rear tire. That one seems ideal. OUtta mind outta sight. Anyone know if thats a one-off or brand name?
