Just posted the question "What Engine" but then saw in your avatar you have a ZX9. 
If it hangs 2" below the chassis and you are running regular ride height then its gonna be pretty vunerable especially if you drive on the road
a lot, as opposed to track where there arent any speed bumps hopefully!, However, best ask other people's opinion too: as you might know I could
be seen as having an indirect vested interest in telling you to chop it, as my uncle can do em for about £50 (he did Jasper's etc).

Yes definitely do it, get Chris's uncle to do it, lovely job, fully baffled, and sump plug put on the side - a much safer place for it.
You don't want to loose your sump plug - eh Chris - cos you'll probably loose your engine.
You loose very little capacity too.
BTW - pics in my archive

LOL, escaping sump plugs are not good for engine longevity, as I can testify!
