Some questions and ideas.

I have tried to remove the baffles from my Bub Big Willies 2 different times and so far I have had no luck.
The first time I tried I had the pipes off and I could bounce the pipe on a piece of cardboard pretty hard and get the baffle to move to the edge but no way to get it any further out.
This last time I made a hook to get behind the baffle and pull but couldn't move it. I tried penetrant and even throttle body cleaner with no luck. I've thought about taking the screws out and running down the interstate a few miles hoping they might heat up and blow out but I don't really want to loose them.

Since I installed the lollipops I made from freeze plugs and got the jetting right I get comments about how good they sound and they aren't bad loud but I want a bit less noise. I want to get the baffles out so I can make some more to experiment with. The tone makes all the difference and if I can't make something that sounds good and is quiet then these go back in.

If I can't get these out I'm thinking of making a baffle to slip inside these baffles. The ones in the pipes are nothing more than thin wall tubing with holes pressed from the outside in. I guess all they are meant to do is disrupt the exhaust waves.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
