I think the best way is to get it rolled out (i.e. put between two steel rollers). The end cap(s) will need to be removed and the can pretty much dismantled to do it, but it does mean you can re-pack the can with new sound absorbent material.

Sorry - don't know anywhere near you that it can be done. I know a guy in Buckingham that's done it for me in the past, but I'm not sure he's even doing stuff like that any more.

Thanks for your reply

MHP exhausts are well worth a try - made a good job of a trashed can on a race bike I had

If you live near a fabricator that works in s/steel you could get a new skin rolled up. That would mean you having to dismantle and rebuild the can but may save a few bob.
You would have to state it is a silencer skin and takes a bit of heat so you dont get get naff grade sheet
