Featured Low Boy Baffle Removal

Here we go get the fecking stupid baffle out of that "race" can.
sorry about the poor picture quality in advance.



The baffle is held in with a low amp low penetration weld,
Drill out the four black rivets holding the end cap on,



Carefully grind/sand the weld down until a line appears (only a mm or 2 ) no rush check often,
then insert some thing the same size of the baffle and tap side to side until it breaks free (if it doesn't free easily sand some more)





You should now have a baffle free can and a baffle to keep for the MOT in three years!

Put the end cap back on with self tappers or rivets your choice.
I happened to have 4 10 mm long 4/0.7 mm domed allen head bolts so ran a tap in the rivet holes to create a thread which worked well.



You now have the exhaust you thought you'd bought and the choice to run the baffle or not.
Deep growly noice with flames not road tested yet so will update findings.
Hope this is a help to those who hate "The Baffle"

Findings; Its Awesome

 

Sorry mate sound never the same as in real life and haven't got a you tube account.

 

Thanks
All I wanted was the choice

 

Hi
You are right there is no picture with the original weld (I had already done it before thinking the method may help some others and I should take some pictures).
I used a rough grit sanding disc in a grinder.
Carefully take the weld off from END of the can (it is not a cut but more removal by grinding/filing/sanding the weld back) it should then look like picture 2 with the line of the two parts.
Hope this helps

 

No more power as the map from Triumph is the same for baffle in or out but the noise is much better but not over the top and if you don't like it put the baffle back in!

 

Hi
Maybe a slight bit less torque but not really noticeable and if you use rivets make sure you have made some way of refitting the baffle as it would be a pain drilling them out again, maybe black self tapping screws etc might be better
I had something lying about to do the job.
Ebay for rivets/screws/etc

 

No problem glad to help

 

No mate old thread! hows that lovely red beast going?
