Default baffle exit bent downward

I have Kerker Originals, for slip-ons and recently I pulled the baffels out and repacked them. I noticed that these baffles where the exhaust exits is bent downward on both at about 15 degrees. It originally had slash cut end caps and I assume they were designed that way but since, I have put on Fishtail end caps. They sound good but im wondering if the bend in the exit part of the baffle is somehow now restricting the flow because of the fishtails. If I were to cut that bend off, would it cause any issues?

Just wondering

Something that minor isn't going to restrict the exhaust flow at the rear of the pipes.
