Sure its not complicated, just rivets out and it comes apart with just a perforated tube through the middle and wadding round the outside. However how much packing is the right amount I dont know because I can imagine that for silencing too much might be as bad as too little....
When I removed the standard can my fuel consumption deteriorated. I think the reduced back pressure causes some fuel mixture to escape from the combustion chambers (it pops n bangs a bit) so probably would benefit from a rolling road set up....
