I'm doing this right now to my Renegade cans,
I tried sanding last night but I barely scratched the surface (:droll:)

I have a dremel and will attempt it at lunchtime today to see what happens.

Why would you bother? Do you honestly think that any copper worth his salt is not going to know an illegal exhaust just from looking at the complete lack of baffles? Speaking to a traffic officer I know, they're more annoyed by people trying to hide it than people who don't.

P.S Buy a Micron, they have the 'Not for road use' under the spout in very faint letters Mr. Green
