Hi every1.. I'm looking at getting a set of emgo shorties cuz I'm on a tight budget.. My question is I don't like how the exhaust ends under your feet..will adding some straight pipe and the mufflers back by the rear tire still give me a decent sound/performance combo..I know I'm gonna have to jet and tune accordingly..I just want the aesthetics of straight pipe without the power loss and excessive noise
 
I've run into that also. That's the reason I didn't use the reducer that came with the muffler. I used the 1 3/4" ID pipe that is 6" in length. I don't think the length of the pipe would hurt any performance and probably won't make much of a difference in sound. I will try to get a good picture tomorrow of where the 6" pipe puts the muffler under the rear peg. It's still close but shouldn't be in the way. Mine's a work in progress at this time...... I use my rear pegs as rearsets, I don't ride passengers on this bike...that's what the VTX is for.
