Default Tell me about your stretched bags

I am getting ready to install a set of Baddad extended bags and fender. I am stuck on the exhaust cutouts. I have VH big shots that I really want to keep, but they are not ideal for the extensions as they are small dia. and they dont seem to extend as far as others. I may have to search for a turndown and shorten them up a bit and let them exit under the bags. What did you guys that have installed them yourself do? any suggestions of where to look for a turndown or other options?

I like the look of turn downs , but do not want rocks,water,sand and all that other crap flying up from the exhaust.
As for cutting out the exhaust e-mail me and I can help you to make a pattern.

Thanks..but making the cutouts isnt the problem. I think it will look funny with the exhaust not extending to the cutout.

Looks good Adam. My main problem is the fact that my exhaust is shorter than yours. Wont exit the cutout.

the smooth look is cool but, im with you on the sand,dirt,ect blowing around.wouldnt be to bad with regular bags,but the extended ones will trap alot of it.can you extend?do your pipes take end caps?
