I am going to be ordering an engine package tomorrow (stock honda) and I am being give the choice above.

Can someone please give me a hand and give me some fact on how the lengths relate to each other?

The choices are 12" or 14" M4 or 14" swedetech. Please don't tell me to pick one brand over the other, but as I asked please tell me how the length comes into play.

Either will do if you're never going to use them.

I did a little googling and read some dirtbike posts, some say the longer silencer gives more bottom end power etc. Some say its doesn't matter as all the magic happens in the pipe...

Ill ask the builder for his recommendation.
Thanks
