baffle removal
I'd love to try this baffle removal but not real sure how "easy" it really is as I am not very mechanically inclined. :-)

I understand BlownDodge wrote the book but also Good advice from Nomad 1600. I used WD 40 and a combination wood/metal hole saw. It took longer to drill and I ended up buying another hole saw to do the second pipe.
I painted mine flat black inside the pipes and it looks like it came that way. I like the rumble and yet still have it quiet at freeway speeds. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Before you start, find out what drill not to use by asking davidjones...his burnt slap up in Elkins.

When I debaffled mine, I cooked my Harbor Freight 1/2" hammer drill ($24.99) halfway through the first one, had to run to Home Depot and bought a really nice B&D 1/2" hammer drill and finished up the first one and did the second one in less than 30 seconds. I used a good Craftsman bi-metal hole saw.

I used a dewalt corded to get mine done, but I did buy a new set of Rigid hole saws from Home Depot. This being said.... a reminder to all of y'all out there who will perform the bafflectomy.... you CANNOT use enough lubricant!!! That's were it's the hardest on the drills and the saw blades....is not giving it enough WD-40..or whatever you choose to use!! If you think you've put too much on there.... PUT SOME MORE!!!! Trust me..it's not enough!!! I've worked/drilled enough metal to know that you can't use too much lubricant to help keep the blades cool!!!! Just my 2cw!!
