Can modify your big radius slightly

Energy One
My exhaust that is currently on my bike (no clue what it is) would drag. I actually cut mine so prevent it and used gas grill paint to refinish the ends that were black. Looks pretty good. No more drag. I guess I probably lean mine over further than I actually should.

Been working for an hour and this is as far as I've gotten. WTF. Using a crow bar and hammer and getting nowhere fast. Any suggestions.

try locking down a pair of vice grips on the edge of the baffle and slide a piece of 2x4 along the pipe striking the vice grips. other than that, drill through the baffle and jury rig some kind of hook to be used with a slide hammer. GOOD LUCK!

thing with using the hook though, the baffle may mushroom and make it even more impossible to get out of the pipe.

Thanks, I will try that another day. I gave up and hammered it back in for now. I will wait until the next time I am up at WSW. I am scared the bottom one might be even harder. I don't want to crack my pipes.

a little wd40 probably wouldn't hurt anything either, but you've more than likely already gone through a couple cans.

Sorry for the jest, you clearly said "it", but unfortunately it is a radius pipe, and if you try to turn it, it will get tighter. With the stock pipes that would surely work - rotating the baffle, not me:)

don't feel like the lone ranger in this quest, I can remember some in the past that had a hellova time trying to get the baffles out. patience, grasshopper.

Just did this with my V&H 2into1. Had to pull the shell of the removed baffle to be able to install a new one. Per V&H need the baffle installed for best performance. You need vice grips and a slide hammer my friend
