Question to Preachp.
Would you mind elaborating on "drilling a 1" hole" in the baffles please.
EG what size is the existin to drill that far in needs a decent length drill...do I have to
Many thanks! :???:
Hi Stevecro,
You can go to a hardware store and buy twelve inch extensions (36 cm?) then get a metal hole saw and drill the hole. There is a second baffle at the inlet end, use two extensions and do the same thing. Both holes are made from the outlet end of the pipe.

There are no hole in the baffles. They (the baffles) deflect the exhaust gases through the perforated metal on hte sides of the can. This reduces noise but limits the exhaust gas velocity and volume that goes through the can. Drilling the baffles offers a less hindered exit for the exhaust to flow through without fully disabling the muffling effect of the can.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
I know, I know everybody knows this already.
