In the pipe or in the jug? Go ahead and drill drill drill on that pipe.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Only port the bottom of the exhaust port.
Can't afford speed then stay away from it!

Not if your careful. Unles it has a few thousand miles on it, then you should get new rings.

Might as well while you are in there then. A few peopl have horror stories of reusing rings.
