There have been a lot of posts where removing the baffles from stock pipes have been documented. I have the short slash cut "off road" Triumph pipes and pulled the baffles out of there. It was quite a bit different from the process described for the stock pipes, so I thought I'd post my saga. It definitely wound up taking longer and being more complicated than I expected.
The first thing I did was take a 2 & 1/2" hole saw and cutting through the back of the pipes while they were still attached to the bike. That exposed the baffle and filling:
I borrowed a tool from a member here that had gutted some stock pipes and my plan was to drill into the pipes around the baffle until the first one came out. What I didn't know at the time is that there is only one baffle - an extremely long one that can't be drilled out the way I was trying to make it happen.
