Default 48, big radius 2 into 2 and smartpartz baffles

As title says. Just tried installing today the non drilling way. If you plan to do it that way. DO NOT DO IT. Drill. because even if you take off the tab the holes don't line up with the baffle.

Now I have a messed up VH baffle.

Well I may look into drilling the holes..however I think I'd have to remove the whole exhaust to get a hole in the right spot..which sucks as well considering I'd have to buy new gaskets and ****.
