Default borla stingers question

I got the dual tipped model. What is the best way to remove the borla stamped on the tips?? grind then wet sand?? I like the clean look better.

Not sure you could do that with out rubbing a hole right through, the stainless isn't all that thick.
You may want to check with Borla and ask 1) how thick is the metal?and 2) how deep is the stamp?

the borla might be stamped on and probably cant be removed. I would definitely check before you start any kind of sanding.

I believe the logo is debossed (raised) in the material and can't be removed???
