I managed to remove baffles from one muffler.
Just remove the tail piece bolt and work the baffle loose.
Tried it on another muffler with no such luck.
Ended up trying to cut the baffle out.
They were stuck at the base of the tail piece.
After removal, I just ran without the baffles on both bikes, little difference in noise level.
