Exhaust downgrade?

I now have my Speedster, freshly built by original owner with 26km on the clock.  I'm working my way through a few running in niggles - and planning a few upgrades.  I have a twin carb (Solex 40) set, in a box, so those are going on when my mechanic fits the alternator.  The car is fitted with an amazing exhaust:  https://www.limebug.com/produc...ust-system-375/#temp

owever, it hangs very low, giving about 1" ground clearance at the lower flange, and it does occasionally scrape on the roads around here, which are pretty uneven.  If I decided to fit a more 'stock' exhaust system, would I notice an obvious lack of power / torque, or is this beast of a system a bit OTT?
