REFLECTOR: stainless exhaust length

[David Brown <velcty@earthlink.net>]

I was looking at David Parrish's great photos of the SUV and noticed the
stainless exhaust out of the cowl.

I too have the stainless exhaust for an IO-360 Lyc. 

I noticed on the SUV that the exhaust stack was cut off approx 1-2 inches
below the cowl. If I cut mine to approx 2 inches below my cowl I could
remove / install my cowl much easier. 

Is shortening the stainless exhaust something that many of you are / have
done?

Thanks
