shortening my pipes...?

hey guys i'm curious as to know if i can shorten my python pipes maybe a foot or so and not have too much affect on the bike.. i.e. what happens to run-ability if i shorten them up, or am i better off trying to just find a set of shorter pipes to put on..?

i would like them to end about where the batter box is...

Sounds like a lot of work to make those pipes look just like a set of short shots. I bet you could sell the pythons and get enough out of those to buy a set of pipes that already look how you want.

Short shots are getting real cheap. Sell yours and buy the SS.

well my pipes sound and perform great, i was just looking to shorten them up for the look, but if many people are realizing they don't perform as well, i would rather stick with the length i have....
