Hi Folks,
I was hoping to pull out the baffle tube from the stock exhaust; to get a bit more sound. I cannot afford right now a aftermarket exhaust -- out of question as of now.
So got a 1.5" hole saw drill and drilled around the baffle tube (OD 1.25") at the tip of the exhaust. The hope was to start twisting and shaking the baffle to pull it. But it seem the other end of this baffle tube is welded inside the can.
I tried using a vice grip to pull it out, no luck...I did take it to local muffler shop, they want to cut open the can and then remove the baffle...not something I want to do...
As for the sound because there is a 1 mm thick gap (because of using the hole saw) between the baffle tube and plate to which it was welded (this is at the exhaust tip)...it is a bit louder, but when decelerating it it doesn't more like a fart rather than a rumble...sorry not sure how to put it across...
I dont want to drill a hole at the end plate which could reduce the backpressure and possible have issues with performance...
Question:
1. Has anyone tried to modify the stock exhaust or try to remove the baffle tube from NC700?
2. Any other suggestion on how to remove the baffle?
Please let me know
Thanks in advance,
Sajiv
