Default Vance and Hines short shots on breakout

I have seen pictures of breakouts with short shots but Vance and hines website said they don’t fit. For those with them did you have to modify anything or are there any issues?

Sorry, I may not be much help but I thought I read where they would with just a little mod? Try doing a search.

Is there a benefit to the short shots, or is it a look preference? How is it for passenger comfort / air?

From a fellow Breakout lover...EricRay, your setup looks outstanding.

It's all looks and loud. You lose low end torque with short 2 into 2's
