Default python 3 slipons

hi everyone does anybody know if the baffles in python 3 slipons are adjustable or removable? i started to hear a rattling noise behind me and low and behold I can jiggle the baffle around with my fingers. im guessing a crappy weld broke but i dont know how theyre designed. would be nice to find a schematic but no luck. sent an email to drag specialties we'll see what they say.

I have a python 2into1 and my baffle has been giving me issues too. The welds broke where the nuts are welded to the baffle for the two allen head screws. I fixed that with some welding and grinding and it lasted about 1000 miles. Then last weekend that failed too and started rattling again even with screws tight. I just fired up the welder again and tacked the damn thing to the muffler body down where no one will ever notice. The thing runs like crap without the baffle so it will never come out as long as I own it anyway.

Well, i needed the baffle fixed cause it was driving me nuts. So I welded it... that makes me think I won't be able to get them to replace it. I really don't wanna deal with waiting for a new one and calling all over the country so I'm just gonna fix it myself.
