Here's the only pic I could find, but it gets the point across. I'm pretty sure these were 12" long pipes to start with. I got 10's too, IIRC, but they were too short. I see what you're getting at, but the question that comes to mind is: Why do you never see flex lines going to calipers? Is there a reason why there is always (to my knowledge) a flex line between the chassis and a hard pipe going to the caliper?
