Greetings,

I hope you got them in! Mine were a pain. I had to get creative and use a hook normally used underneath a '73 Chevy Nova to hold the emergency cable up off the exhaust to pull mine out. But, it was well worth it. The sound is so much better.

Another tip I got on this site was to mark and drill two holes (one in each pipe) in the chrome part of the pipe where it faces the bike right where the mounting screws for the Baffles are when the pipes are assembled. This way you can R&R the Baffles without having to remove and completely disassemble and then reassemble and reinstall the entire exhaust system every time you need to service the Baffles. Doing it this way makes changing the Baffles about a ten minute task.

Lots of penetrating oil & get a wooden dowel inside the baffle to "work it" out. Sounds like a bad porno, but it works for baffle removal too...
