Removing rivets

Alright, this may be a dumb question, but what is the best way to remove a rivet?? I just recieved my Mivv exhaust and want to remove the baffle. Thanks for any help.

Drill the heads off then push them into the can (the drill will probably do this in the same action)
Just don't go too big on the drill size - you don't want to enlarge the hole.

It might be a good idea, to put some masking tape or duct tape around the area your going to do the drilling to protect the skin of the pipe. The chances of the drill sliding off is pretty good.

hooligans--funny you bring that up, with the tape. The drill did slip and I put a small scratch on the end of the pipe, good call, but a bit too late--oh well. I got the Mivv from PJsParts.
