I have seen people talking about drilling there stock cans to make them louder. Stupid question #1 how do you do that. Drill out the rivets and pull out insides and the drill them??
How to mod stock cans
- Thread starter extreemachine

Welcome to the board.

There are a couple of methods to modifying the stock cans.
One is to use a dremel to cut the welds on the screws, remove the cap and drill holes in the end of the baffle - making it a little louder.
The other requires a little more effort. It removes the inside, but to do that (if I recall correctly) requires cutting one of the ends off the can and then 'rolling' the edge when reassembling.

Thanks for the quick responses. I am new to the boards. I appreciate the help. As far as rolling the edges of the cans that is beyond my capabilities, or I should say what I would be happy with on my Busa. I have to do some research and see what cans to go with when I do replace them, most likely in 2 months. I want to go with a shiny finish, chrome or similar and stay with the stock exhaust dual pipe set up. I will do some bouncing around on the boards and see what I find. I LOVE THESE BOARDS!! Tons of info!! SO much stuff that people have done and tried and lots of knowledge. I am very impressed!! <span style='color:orange'>Thanks Ralph</span>

...or just drill out the baffle on the front end of it to about 1" much quick and you'll get similar results.

What do you mean by drill out the baffle on the front end to about 1"? WHich part of the baffle? Thanks for your help and response!!!! Ralph
Its simple! you need a punch and a 1/2 drill bit thats about a foot long. Unbolt the cans from the pipe and from the pipe end use the center punch to start a whole. Do 3-4 of them. Then use the drill to drill as far into them as possible. Takes 30 minutes tops and 2 people. one to drill and one to hold your can.
I used stuff from RS-3,You can use the baffle steel wool and packing from one.Actually everything fit together really good.The second can went alot quicker.I did these for a really good customer[The Wife]LOLL!
