OK. I'm new to this forum but I got up this morning, read this article and decided to modify my exhaust. The directions are dead on. It took me about 3 hours (took my time) but I got it done.

I used a 2 1 3/8" hole saw blades (one for each pipe...about 9.50 from Home Depot, made by Rigid), a hammer, vice grips and a long thin flat head screw driver.

Drilling was a pain but it was easy compared to all the banging and pulling I had to do to get the baffles out. Once you've drilled through the back end of the pipe, take the screw driver and use it to pop holes into the weld plate (about 6" inside the pipe end). After you've put enough holes through the plate, the baffle will start to sink into the exhaust pipe. Use the vice grips to pull them out. Sounds deeper and chunkier and saves you 400 bucks.

Ride safe.
