....? Solid sentence structure will get you along ways in this forum. I am guessing you are talking about a baffle or something? Some pipes you remove a few screws from the bottom of the pipe and a baffle will pull out of it, rendering your bike louder...

Is this what you are asking?

Ok, second try... Your pipes bolt to the horizontal bracket that keep them in place? Sure, you can make a bracket and plug those. Not sure what you're going for though..

Or does he mean the crossover pipe?
Might be easier if you mentioned the year of the bike also

WOW-I thought I typed bad LOL!. The part I think hs is talking about is the crossover tube. If you are going to run slip on's there is no point getting rid of it.
