today i thought i would de-baffle my exaust the first thing i did was pull my pipes off the bike and take them into the shop i seperated the pipes and pulled the chrome cover off the first one the drilled out the rivets on the end cover. I then took a grinder to where the muffler and the chrome pipe are wellded this is a easy grind taking 2 mins on each pipe i then lifted my pipe end down and hit it 1 time on a block of wood to break the weld all the way through the outer chrome pipe then was easy to pull away from the muffler. I took the muffler to the chop saw and cut it just behind the welds put the chrome pipe back over what was left of the cat. and welded the pipe back up put the cover back on and went to the next one.. the reason i did this was because i did not like the thought of using a sazall and this only took me 10 mins each side if people want i will try to post photos later.
