Default Stubbies on a 916

After I acquired the 996 there was a lot of banter about stubbying the Termis on it as it didn't have the same roar to it as our Sv. It was never an option but having seen this bike on ebay I'm really glad I didn't do it.





What do you lot think?

I reckon if you extended the pipes, moving the cans back to where they should naturally finish (ie, in line with the bodywork), then it wouldn't be too bad.

As is though, completely sh*te.
