    Yep, totally doable. Just be sue you have a fresh dremmel disc when cutting the carbon as it can tear or splinter is not.

    Pop the sleeve off, cut it down to a straight edge and then trim the core of the can to match. Couple of new straps and some rivets, sorted. :)

    The carbon starter kit from carbon mods would be another angle, you could re wrap the can.

    I may have some spare Akrapovic ends that may do the job?
