Shouldnt take much to put a small bend pipe on so the pipe runs parallel to the tail section

as miki mentioned. "high level" cans are supposed to run parallel to the bottom of the tail unit. not sticking up in the air to fill with rain!

That is a sweet paint job on the fairings. Not too sure about the angle of the can, but many race bikes are like that so go for it!

I think there is plenty of examples bike with same angle of the can. For example, Rick Oliver vfr have same can and angel.
Is the angle of the can influence to performance of the bike?

I also saw ZX-6R with same angle. Looks quite nice.

High level cans are about increasing ground clearance.
