did you lose any back pressure?

do you feel a difference in throttle response or its just louder?

A lot of guys do this to "stunt" so it doesnt scrape. My friend had the same problem so we just cut his. It made it way more rapsy and annoying, but he likes it.

yeah, i'm thinking of shortying my 2 rashed yosh pipes, but don't feel like actually doing the work

aside from popping the rivets and cutting, anything else you need to do?

havent rode it yet, track fairings make it harder to ride.
