Default Stubbyage!

I love the look of all the stubby cans about at the minute. I have recently payed for and am awaiting delivery on a blue flame can. It is one of the coloured ones which starts off blue and then fades through to silver with two outlets. I was wondering how easy it would be to give it the stubby treatment. Due to my line of work I am a perfectionist with such things so I wouldnt be happy with unsightly welds or other tatty bits, is there anywhere I could pay them to do it for me? Are there any legal implications? Cheers Guys and Girls.

Well, the BSAU mark, when it's got the baffle in will probably stand up to scrutiny.
It'll be louder than normal, but conform enough.

With baffle out, it's no more illegal than a normal can with the baffle out.

You can do it yourself quite easily, I seem to have started quite a trend here
