Shorty exhaust vs standard length

So I just recently did the Reflash of my 19 R1. To me, I’ve always been a fan of shorter pipe that tuck away rather than the side mounts. Many have said the crossplane engines do not like the short pipes and benefit more from longer length. Someone support this claim or have more info on it?

Tried quite a few different systems,
Full Akra
Full SC Project
Full pipewerxs (UK based, provide systems for track to meet our strict noise regs while maintaining power)

Almost all produce 190bhp or there abouts at the too end, the longer pipewerx can makes and extra 8bhp in the mid range compared to the SC and Akra.

That's with a K&N race filter and Woolich flash.

I find the bike feels better with the Pipewerx, but I love the look of the SC1R.

Sadly selling due to lack of use since I started racing.

Bought myself a new 2022 60th Anniversary model at the end of june, also live in the UK. Looking to change the exhaust so would be interested in your opinions and if you possibly have something for sale.
Mainly road riding with the odd trackday.

Haha thanks bud! I love the thing, missed racing it this weekend, was racing the Bandit instead, but I'm back racing it in two weeks and can't wait! Ge too test the ohlins shock.
I prefer it with the blue wheels though.

I love my bandit 12. The suspension is garbage though. Fun little flea market hayabusa....

Needs a 6th gear though...
