Spoke to Ian Frankland about this at Cadwell last year. He said that Taffys used to sell shortened manifolds to help the pipes Rev on a little more. He said that 10 mm shorter allowed the pipe to rev on a further 4-500 rpm, obviously pushing the useable power that bit further up as well. Note, he did say it was a balance and that drastically shortening the overall
Length of the exhaust will initially make it a screamer then too far and it will kill most of the performance.
Might be cheaper to try and get hold of him and see if he's remade the shorter versions or get one modified? If you want the running boards back on and a standard looking pipe set up then the Bgm Clubman is a great choice. I fitted one to a mates IMola ( although somewhat altered) I'm really impressed, great all round pipe.
