I bought a couple of unidentifiable cans off E-bay, which are so bloody loud they make my ears bleed. I've bought some new baffle material, and have drilled the rivets out, but can I hell as like shift the ally sleeves. Anyone ever done this job before? What trick am I missing?
I assume it's gunk that is holding the whole lot together.
The bike does sound awesome though!!

Simple answer; Dont put the baffle material in and wear earplugs!

Two is the magic number... ;)

Can you stick a couple of pictures up?
I've repacked loads of cans over the last 6 years, even do it for friends.

The ends of the cans and the bit where the sleeve meets the end caps.

And a sound clip would be good too, while you're at it!
