Also, i had it cut and welded in the middle because the erion doesn't come with a end cap and the canister is real narrow compared to other canister's. So it would have been hard for me to find a cap that would fit. And i wanted to keep the erion racing emblem on the pipe. Plus the cut and weld are covered by the clamp that holds the exhaust so it looks like i never cut it.
It looks so clean that people don't believe that i cut it

i used to work for a custom truck shop.. i drilled thru rivets all the time with a 12 volt cdless... sometimes the rivet spins andif u hold it still u can drill all the way down thru it then like they said punch anything left out... dont go buyn a new drill just for that mayb a sharp bit would do

Re: cutting exhaust pipe!?
I can see what Sambo is talking about though, I've got a Leo Vince SBK CF exhaust on my 600RR and I think thats whats gonna happen to mine after I cut it short, but as for any other type of pipe that isn't CF you'll be fine cutting it and re- riveting it.
