so i decided to put my shocks and my 4-1 on to the judge. problem is that the baffle is pushed in and sounds like a rattle can of paint. any ideas how to get it out nd if mac sells a replacable baffle...on another noth the 11 sounds way better with a 4-1. really brings out the superbike side of it.

Make a slide hammer from a piece of all thread rod and a nut and it will pop right out.
If you want it to sound great and run great too you can use your old baffle to make a better one. First, measure everything on the old baffle, especially the length. Get a piece of 1 5/8" tubing and drill several 1/4" or 5/16" cross holes through it. Drill enough to make it look like swiss cheese. Then take the stock baffle and cut the the staggered portion off from the back end plate leaving about 1" of the original tube on the plate. Then weld or braise the new pipe onto the stub left on the rear plate. Do the same thing with the front plate, keeping the original length though it will be a bit more work than the back plate was. Get some exhaust insulation and give a few wraps around the new pipe and install. Rattle will be gone and sound will be excellent. Flow should be up a bit since you are now straight through so jetting MIGHT be affected.

You mean weld the all thread to the vise grips? No, just spin a small nut onto the end of the all thread and push it into the baffle until it drops over the edge of the pipe inside. Then use something that will work as a slide weight over the end sticking out of the baffle. Use it like one of those slide hammers they use to take dents out of a car fender. The baffle will pop right out.
I dont have a pic since this is not really a 'special tool' but more something you cobble up for a single use.Mike Giroir
