If you still have the two little chrome covers that go over the head pipe to muffler weld, I might want to buy them. They looked rusty, but not like the head pipes. They might clean up.

Theyre long gone

I been thinkin' that can would look mo-betta if you shortened it by 6-8 inches. Won't cost anything.

I too have thought this, im going to pull it apart this weekend for cleaning and polishing, night chop it down a bit

[thebrandonbeezy]

There?

There?

Too much, IMO. I would cut it so the can ends just in front of the lower shock mount, about where the 'c' is in Vance on the logo. Of course, you know how the old saying about opinions goes...

The end of the aluminum or sot that the end of the tip will be at the shock?

As an artist, I would find the “magic” proportion.
Measure the can, not the ends, cut off 1/3.

The end of the can, I would leave the tip going past the shock mount a bit.

That doesn't sound too crazy to me, should end up in the same ballpark as my suggestion.

Before you chop up the can, why not cover the questioned part with black tape, step back and have a look see. So you dont have to uncut it
