No, you'll need to beat the hell out of it now. Get yourself a block of wood that will fit into the end that attaches to the head pipe. Stick it in that end and fish it around until you can feel the end of the baffle. Once you find the end of the baffle with that piece of wood, you need to hit that wood repeatedly until the baffle begins to move out the large end of the muffler. Usually it is helpful to spray it with WD 40 before you start.
One other thing, make sure you support the muffler on the end opposite of the one your beating on. Otherwise, you'll dent it. I usually sit on a stool and rest the bottom of the muffler on the edge of my boot. After you get the baffle moving a little bit, you may be able to grab it with a pair of pliers and pull it out.
