It’ll all relative to how you ride, keep in mind Steve and I both want pipes that don’t drag since we like cornering “spirited” . That calls for a muffler that’s high n tight.
The first thing to touch down should be the peg feelers not the muffler.

Rob,
Agreed, but tis the second & the third parts dragging that concern me most.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I did have to re cut & weld the pipe between the header and can of my CES in order to tuck it in closer to the rear axle for more clearance.

Holy crap!
Just gander at how far that sucker sticks outboard!
Not good, IMHO.

Even the stock pipes on my Roadster stick out quite far, pretty much to the end of the front foot peg.

Here's a stock Roadster:

Which pipes are known to drag?

Stockers if you’re extra cray cray. Anything that sticks out equal or past stockers will drag as well.

I took mine on the Tail of the Dragon in Tennessee a few months ago. I dragged the pegs a lot, but not the stock pipes! I must not be crazy enough! haha

I've built my header and complete 3 into 1 system be in as tight as possible.
My riding style dictates that nothing must hang up when cornering, If anything does, I will find it.

@caddydaddy
My CES can now sits at & within an eighth inch of the rear axle.
I hope you can see the difference here
Apologies. Rear wheel is off for new tire & to re-wire the rear light assemblies for somwe additional new stuff for hopefully more rear end light & safety

And that doesn't scrape whilst cornering.
Not sure if that is a question or a statement Bull.

My TORs would touch down occasionally, mostly from the lousy shock wallow prior to my Progressive 444s.
Where the motor mount, peg rail/bolt & engine case scraped, 2nd, 3rd & 4th can also be seen.

Not since the Progressive 444s set as high as possible have been on.
That @Paul Bryant system sits in tight as well - no mods needed = Awesome!
