Yosh R22

Okay - dumb question, perhaps. My old RS-3s angled inward toward the bike for, I suppose, increased corning clearance. Being in my late 50s, any knee-dragging days I might have had are long since gone and, from an appearance standpoint, I would have preferred them to be parallel with the rest of the bike. Well, I installed the new R-22s last night and surprise, surprise - they are parallel. BUT the cone-shaped outlets point inward. I know I'll be asked about that, so I emailed Yoshimura for the "official" reason, but in the meantime, does anyone else know why they are made like that?
Also, there is an error (at least, in my opinion) in the installation instructions for the pipes. They show the bands that encircle the cans attaching to the inside of the rear peg bracket but doing so would deform the bands and put a lot of tension on the cans and midpipes. I have mine attached to the outside of the brackets, as does "busacruise" above. Just an FYI...
I await your replies!

PS - the RS-3s are sold.

Did anyone else have to replace 4 of the attaching bolts?
The instructions on mine had a short bolt going in a specific hole and two long ones in the others. The long bolts would not let the can bolt up tight. So a trip to the hardware store to get 4 shorter bolts. A little hard to find the same bolt but did. All six bolts now are the same size. Just wondering if happened to others.
