Alternatively you can weld ordinary m/s pipe with a standard DIY arc welder, tho this pipe is def heavier than other pipe your likely to find. I used 1.6mm and will have it powder coated once complete

First drill out rivetts on the end cap, if there 3mm use a 3.5mm drill bit,(the heads will fall off)
remove end cap,
use masking tape around the point you want to cut, to ge a straight line around it,
then angle grider with cutting disc, cut on your edge of tape through the outer sleave,trim packing flush,
your left with a cut down sleave but full lentgh inner pipe,(or pipes in your case) cut these leaving about 10mm on(10mm sticking further out than the sleave) ,this is what will sit into your end cap,
fettle your end cap back on ,mark out holes, drill and rivett back on and jobs a good`en!!!
Its an idea aswell if yours has inner baffles (road legal) to keep them, i tapped a 5mm hole under the outlet pipe to put the baffle back in incase it fails a noise test for racing or trackdays.
Cheers Biff, me and my mate chopped his scorpion can down on his r6 and your guide proved very handy! Thanks to everyone else also. Simmo now i know how to do it, i will be doing mine tomorrow hopefully!
Cheers guys!
