Default CHop the pipes on my '82 Virago

I am customizing my '82 Virago and I want to chop the pipes to get rid of the big cone mufflers. I know that I will lose performance, but I am obviously not riding it for speed. Will that wreck anything?

I know technically you are supposed to re-jet the carbs but what if I dont? Thanks.
