Suruga Speed Exhaust

wellarmed

What's the deal with the huge coffee can tips on all of the exhausts these days? They all have this tacked-on look that is obvious from the side as a just a big 'tip' put on the end of a smaller pipe.
I think this look goes perfectly with a huge wing sticking up a couple of feet.

Am I the only one that thinks a slightly smaller angle cut pipe that actually runs all the way back to the muffler would look a little less ....... fake? Or is this just a rice thing that is a part of todays younger culture that a old hotroder doesn't understand?
