I think the Custom Chrome catalog (or some such) has straight pipes with fishtail tips that'll keep most of the length of your existing pipes. That might work better ... with BCT baffles or some comparables and/or a 'lollipop' eye-bolt.

The other thing to consider is the aft pipe might interfere with the forward pipe fishtail ....
