its ok stubbying the end can but it will be detrimental to the performance so if you'r gonna do it get another race can to stubby and keep your old one in case it causes running problems.

it doesnt have to be detrimental, you'll just need to tweak the carbs a touch and maybe re-jet.. just like fitting any "different" exhaust

what would be more detremental was if you did the stubby, didnt reject the carbs, left it too lean, which it would be if you didnt rejet, holed all your pistons as a result of it being lean and then have to replace all the pistons, for the 40minutes it takes to rejet the carbs Ill happily choose that if it saves me having a bust bike, expensive pistons and expensive rebuild
