Removing scratches from Gen1 exhaust cans

[84Ninja]

Hey guys. I was moving my bikes around tonight and while backing up the Busa I caught the edge of a license plate of the bike behind it and left a long horizontal scratch about 6" long. I was so mad steam was coming out my ears!!! My question is, is there a way to buff the scratch out perpendicular to the scratch or should I just buy a new can (yes, picky). Thanks

sounds like a good excuse to upgrade to me... or worst case shorten the stock cans!

Thanks guys. I was considering using a steel brush, but I'm sure that will have mixed results!

ok 84 here are some pics ill leave them larger so you can get detail out of them. again this is only the right side the left side never had any dings that i know of. just might need a good cleaning with some meatal polish to remove dirt and some tar.
