I'm going to keep it as designed, and maybe put it back on eBay as slightly used, and see if I can get someone to take it off my hands...

Troll, how about making your own slash cut tip, oriented the way you want? I did that on my V&H Longshots as they didn't offer the tips I wanted. I took a piece of exhaust tubing the same size as the pipe on the bike, cut my tips to about a 160* angle, then took a 3" piece of exhaust tubing one size smaller, slipped it inside my tip about 1" or so and welded it from the inside(through the outlet end of the tip)  slipped it inside the muffler, marked the hole, drilled the hole a bit oversize then welded a nut inside that piece, painted high-temp black, done. Couldn't find a pic on my laptop of the pipe with tip installed, but the pic attached shows it somewhat.

Just a thought.

I hear ya on that, but my factory exhaust is so modded anyway one more hole made no difference to me.
I, too, was surprised and disappointed it was a side dump.

I hear ya...I'm just a little disappointed that it's a side dump rather than top to bottom....looks like the tip on a '78 LowRider...I looked into rotating it, but that would mean I either had one 6mm bolt holding it on (no, I don't think so) or drilling more holes. It's kinda a "collector item" so no holes...

For what its worth I kind'a like the slash cut. I was never really that hot on the shark's tail tip on the stock pipes.  I know some call it a fish tail but to me true fish tails look like the attached photo and only look good in pairs.

I'm thinking about that. I can't see it when I'm riding, it doesn't sound any different, and nobody but another Drifter owner would even notice it...

You only paid $25 for it, why not keep it for this year and get some use out of it, you can always change back yext year and still get your $25 back.
