Since I have no time this weekend to tinker with my bike I have another random newbie question as I stare at it. The previous owner took off the stock mufflers, made it I to a straight pipe and wrapped it up from end to end. I am not loving the look - looks to long to me.
He provided me the original mufflers in case I ever want to put them back on, but indicated to me that they will MUCH louder then now it is now. Are the originals that loud? Would it be worth putting them back on?
Also, if I were to cut the existing pipe (see line in pic) to shorten overall length, will it affect the sound and or performance on any way?
