Video of sound please!
I've never understood why aftermarket cans for the C models stick out so much, they'd look so much better if they were flush with the rear light!

Very nice, i did the exact same thing with my 2bros can because it would stick out too much. I chopped about 3" and now looks better and sounds even more mean/deep...
