I was just wondering mostly if it was a danger to the engine. I'm in a bind with this clutch cable seems like I will be removing the longtubes and going with shorties for clearance. Unless i can find someone to modify my header.

nevermind i ditched the shortie option. i used to drive weeks with my open longtubes. so i got pulled over one day at a light. the cop walks up and askes me if i know it is illegal to have something hanging from my rear view mirror. got a warning and had to fire it up and drive off in front of him lol
