Paint it out of view cut it off roll it back in and ride it you look at it to much but not a bad idea get girl on the back go to the lake have a nice ride looking forward watch for the tractors and the country roads. I saw that pipe offset TOO!Don't worry be happy happy happy! IN MY WORLD YOU WILL LEARN OF NEW ROADS
Just out of curiosity:I have an '07 1800c. I'm probably one of a handful of owners who likes the stock exhaust, from a "quiet and works fine" standpoint. The only thing I don't care for is the overall length of the single end pipe. Was just out in the garage, staring at the configuration, and got to wondering if anyone had ever considered or attempted shortening or "bulldogging" the stock pipe. I'm not under the influence of anything, by the way. There appears to be about eight inches that could come off between the indent of the heat shield and the end cap. A good, fine cut chop saw, a bit of welding, and replace the end cap when you're done. Possible? If not, the only aftermarket (yes, I have extensively looked at every available manufacturers' products) that I find aesthetically pleasing is the Cobra Slashdown. Sorry, nothing else even remotely catches my eye. Did I mention that I would have to pay money for the aftermarket exhaust? That part doesn't please me much.
