Quite right, I didn't explain it very well, nevermind.. people will find out for themselves
I'd like to cut my art can down a little bit, but can't be bothered, and it's probably loud enough anyway...

mines been cut down for about 8 yrs. Matt considered it a little long. I've got a spare Art in the loft and there is a significant difference in sound and length. YC had it on his for about a week, and it sounded poop in comparison to mine. I bought it off him for just in case I ever had to replace it. Its got a reallllly deep throat has mine..ooo er missus!... Im Indoors got it for a tenner cause the previous owner thought their SV sounded too loud with it on

If I cut mine I'd cut it so there was an equal amount either side of the hanger.. Not that I'm picky about things like that

Hmmm. Looking at photos, I think the akrapovic system has the start of the end can (link pipe end) further towards the back of the bike.. So no it wouldn't be quite as short as their stubby, it'd cut about a third off of it

If they come with a baffle and the can is e marked, I think that means the can is legal with the baffle in. Without the baffle it's no longer legal Don't quote me though..
