    Guys, I've got chance of an Akrapovic, but the end of the can is damaged. Has anyone repaired one or is it possible to get it repaired?

    If so, how much and contacts would be helpful.

    Thanks in advance.

    As Si said, end caps and rivet bands can be bought to replace the damaged one. May as well repack it while you're at it.

    Thank you @si1000repsol , any idea of a ball park price? Thinking I might have to take the risk that I can get one and buy the can. Cheers @Nigelg79 , same question to you.

    Thanks in advance

    I did the same as you but for a Yoshi can. Spoke to Brian at performance parts and was quoted £90 for the carbon end and about £15 for the rivets and band. Ended up not needing it in the end but good to know the option's there.
    Here's his email: [email protected]

    They are about £10-15 for rivet band, £15 for rivets and cap are anywhere from £50-£100 as a ball park figure
