Removing Pro Pipe Baffle?
Can someone please fill me in on how to remove the baffel and I'm assuming the end cap will have to removed as well, on a Vance and Hines Pro Pipe? I want to spray paint the baffel with a high temp flat black to hide the rust that has formed on the baffel. Thanks

Well Folks I'm pretty determined but in the case of this baffle, I've given up! That damn baffle and end cap isn't coming out of there without mucking it up good. I ended up taking the high temp spray paint I purchased, and sprayed it in a cup and brush applied it in light coats. Looks just fine..It's only inside the end of the muffler after all.

After removing the 2 bolts mine came right out. I removed the packing to see what would happen. A lot louder but no reduction in low end pull. I purchase some more 1/4" packing and did both chambers with it 4 rolls around. Now it quieter than stock baffle. Originally came with packing further up in pipe in the 2nd chamber and loose steel wool around the tip baffle in 1st chamber.

Man, I used penetrating oil and everything I could think of. Wouldn't budge. I decided it wasn't worth damaging the end cap or pipe.
