I need to find the best way to gut the SCR with keeping the factory's new look.

I could cut it open and weld it back somewhere hidden, but are there any other ways to knock it out without having to weld it back up like they are the DPF.

Also, do I need to cut the metal things in the ends that I assume disperse the def fluid evenly from what I gather look like fan blades almost?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
