A while back I bought a cobra 909 two into one slip on. Felt like I lost some mid range torque and wasn't wild about the sound so I went back to stock. Thinking rather than leave it in the garage gathering dust why not try a Thunder Torque insert from DK.
Problem is I can't figure out how to remove the baffle.
Don't want to leave it out, just want to pull it out, drill through it a few inches from the tail end, install the torque insert, and re-install it. There are two allen screws through the inner pipe that are threaded into the outer pipe. I've pulled them out but inner pipe is tighter than a drum.
Anyone done this before? Open to suggestions. I emailed Cobra but they never responded. The threads on the torque insert aren't long enough to attach it by screwing through the outer pipe. If they were I'd drill a hole through the bottom out of site.
Do you have a slide hammer? Its a new pipe so doubt it rusted on so a bit of force should do it. But on my Bassanis, the screw was long enough that I just had to enlarge the bolt hole that held the baffle on and use that one.
Not having seen the muffler, I'm not sure if this is possible in your case, but for stuck baffles I get a broomstick, stand the broomstick upright on the floor and slide the muffler (**** end up!) over the broomstick and hit the end of the baffle on the end of the broomstick, repeat until - the baffle comes out or you realise you've missed a retaining screw .
