Go back and read the entire thread. This causes reversion and poor performance due to no back pressure.

Not necessary, but you do need to remove the shields.
It MAY be necessary to loosen the pipe mounting bolts to get the shields off, however. Try just removing the radiator hose clamps that hold the shields on first.

I am trying to order the baffles online, and the last question it asks is if this is a head pipe installation. Anyone know what this means?
