I took my gf's exhaust apart to put in a custom spark arrestor screen. We drilled the rivets out, then we just tapped new threads and put some allen head bolts on

You can't be serious.

Not that big of a deal, get a correct sized drill bit....not a bit the size of the rivet head, but the size of the post itself....drill through the rivet, it will come out. Repeat on others.

Repack exhaust, install endcap, line up holes, rerivet with correct rivets and rivet gun
