Pipes like that, at parties, guys would piss in em..
Never , I repeat NEVER stand behind a high piper, during startup at a party..
That pipe BTW, is a textbook example of how chrome makes something stick out (in a bad way), rather than, blend & fit in with the rest of the components..
When a meg is mounted lower, and not past the wheel, it blends in better cuz the mass of the wheel and swingarm absorbs the size of the muffler, better than out in the open..
JMO free advice being worth what ya pay for it..
