Shorty Pipes?
I've been looking everywhere for a set of pipes to put on my '99 sporty. I like the short, loud pipes but all the ones I like are very expensive and out of my price range. My question is- Could I possible cut/mod my stock pipes shorter without hurting the engine? If so, how short could I go...I've read different post but no one has an exact answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Just dont go too loud, cause it would hurt the whole community of Harley riders. There is enough of penalties with modestly modified pipes, that are not even loud, just because too many loud pipe Harley dudes have been teasing the environment with noise pollution.
^^^dont listen to this dude. do what you want, it's your bike and a free country last time i checked. quieting our exhausts won't do **** for the preconceived notions cagers and normal everyday folk have about us. i'm doing the same right now. i'm taking some stock sporty headers and tig welding some tips on there. don't forget the lollipop baffle for some back pressure. good luck brother.

That I can agree with since the ricer community has been able to get away with their fart pipes that are 5 inches at the tip being fed by a 1 inch exhaust pipe. Makes a lot of noise but no performance really. They also said that about the diesel trucks which blow black smoke. Never bought into that myself and do use my "smoke tune" to blast smoke at those who richly deserve it. Pedestrians and tailgaters
