I thought Lets try a bit more.
Removed the pipes and at the inlet I drilled a 25mm hole through the cat, took a few goes as the hole saw kept filling up. the cat is about 8 - 9 cm deep, below this is the first baffle, I drilled it as well with the 25mm cutter.

After cleaning out all the bits of cat, I can now see daylight through the pipe, the middle baffle is still there but from each end the rest have been drilled, with the end one removed. I can see crescent daylight shape when looking through, the holes are slightly out of line.

Louder now, but a deeper tone than the short TORs not much in it though.

Video of cat and next baffle at the front drilled, at the rear end tube and next baffle removed and next baffle drilled.
