Default How do I get baffles out of Screaming Eagle slip ons?

I dont want to remove them and leave them out, I wanna take em out and drill the holes slightly larger and replace them. I have an SE air cleaner and tuner, so I am ok there. They are just a tad too quiet for me. Looks like I drill the rivets out, then how do I get the baffles themselves out? Thanks guys

It appears they have 3 rivets out near the end where the tips bolt on. I took a tip off and didnt see anything in the end, jus the 3 rivets out near the end of the pipe.

I removed the 3 small Allen screws from each cap. Remove cap then reach in and just grab the baffle. Mine came out with just s twist.

that sounds pretty easy....how did you like the sound...did you leave the baffles out or replace them with something else?

The baffles in mine were spot welded in. I had to grind them off flush and had to use a broomstick to bang them out from the headpipe end.

^^^My buddy's SE slip ons were exactly like this too! Ground down both spot welds and them banged them out from the header side. We replaced them with Rinehart baffles. Sounds great now!
