yes i have heard of people doing this but not on stockys. I wouldnt say any big power gains but it might sound alot better or louder,

will it hurt my bike to run them

Stinger length and diameter are all part of the pipe design calculations. Shortening the stinger will not add power.

But it will make the bike louder, and to a lot of people louder = faster.

Even un-silenced out of frame drag pipes have long stinger pipes on them.

 

I dont see that it will hurt the motor, but it may get you kicked out of some riding areas

Besides the point, the first well worth the money mod is pipes, look around you can find a good deal on pipes that fit you riding style if yours are stock, stock bikes are more fun to me because you get to mod them the way you want to
