Looking at the partlist that OldMike posted I'm guessing that both exhaust use the same db killer and bolts.

So, to sum up, and only to confirm for your side, if it is possible...
1) the wonderful screws are STYKFITŽ7
2) when you say "angrever", you're saying a normal metal drill bit, right?
3) You have removed one of the two screws, so the configuration you are going to try is without the dbkiller but with the baffle

Finally, thank you very much, colleagues .. Mchad, Goldmike, MoneyFor ..... and everyone!!. Thank you very much for your help!
I really appreciate your desire to help.

Best regards from Spain!!
1 yep
2 No, before is mandatory,due to the ‘air’ you have around the screw, to make a mark on the top of the pin in order to avoid the drill bit goes out from that “air” scratching the pipes top; in Italy the name is “ bulinatore” .
3 I removed 6 tamperproof screws (3 per pipe) and the dB killer not yet touched the ones on the side because not needed.

I think that n°2 , we call it a "puntslag" or point stroke , not sure what the correct English is for this but it keeps the drillbit in center while drilling.

That makes it a bit easier, now I can get replacement bolts before removing the db killer

Well, solved the mechanical problems, I would like to ask you, MoneyFor, for the papers..Have you received the certificate of conformity (as a compliance report)? In Spain we have mandatory periodic reviews, and that certificate is mandatory (in theory signed by an approval laboratory)

In the US we use that term for something else.
We use a "center Punch" to center the drill.
