New can or not new can... that is the question...

[grant965]

Hi all, after a set of cans for my tl1000r are just too big and plain.
Dont fancy spending a fortune so wondering should I spend money on a set of cheap new cans, I.e. MTC engineering are just up the road from me.
Or
most likely option, second hand set off of ebay.
or...
cheapest option
buy a set of stock ones dirt cheap and chop them back?
What would you guys recommend.
P.s. the bike already spits flames when warm, how much of a boss(dick) am I going to be with shorter exhausts, will the flames still reach the same length, i.e. 1 inch flame turn to 5 inch flame if I chop 4inch off?
On a side note I do plan to get the flame spitting problem sorted as the backfires are very loud.
Thanks, Grant

I have a set of obscenely loud stubby cans for the tl you can have for the price of postage.
Also the flames will be because the rear header pipe is leaking from the graphite gasket where it joins the down pipe.
