I know nothing about exhaust. Mine is welded from header to tail pipe. I need to drop it to work on my phone ear suspension and don't want to remove the carbs to drop the header and exhaust as a single unit. 

Im thinking I'll cut it and use some sort of connector and clamps.  Any issues with this plan? Where would you cut it?

 

thanks!

I would cut it to give a normal length header and exhaust system.  So that future aftermarket units will fit.  Those v-band exhaust clamps look nice but they're not "normal".

Ah good thought I wouldn't have considered that. Off to take a look at how thick the weld is on the header pipe
