De-Baffling/Modifying Baffles On ZZR600.Any Advise?Who Has??

[ZZR KWAKA]

I pulled one of the Cans off today to look at Modify or removing the Baffles.....

After drilling out the 3 pop-rivots at the rear of the can... Nothing seems to want to come apart...?? As you can tell I have no idea on what I was doing..He he

And now even if I was to Re-poprivot it back... I have a few peices of Rivot floating around inside the Can... Which I do want to get out...

Any advice?? Anyone done any work to their own Cans and give me an idea on what I need to do??

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.........

put a 4into1 on it!

Prob won't even run better than stock, in fact might even run worse. Best to take a hack-saw to it and wack a slip-on on instead.

Reminds me of the time I tried to hold two exhaust together with a strip of tin-foil and a f*ck-off exhaust clip...worked a treat till it caught on fire.

check and see if there are any rivets at the front of the can first.......if there are none, then the baffle is just *tight* and will need to be *encouraged* out......

If this is too hard, re-rivet the rear rivets, and just give the bike a huge couple of revs when its fitted back up - aim the exhaust out the driveway, the rivetie-bits left inside will find their own way out.....

Nope... This wont work...Apparently there are 3 different cylinder compartments to the Can.... I have tried flipping the can end to end... and nothing comes out.. I can just hear it moving inside..

I really hope to get instructions on how to modify the baffles if anyone has done it ...PLease Please Let me know....

I rang a exhaust place today and they want $400 just to modify the baffles..... Bit Steep....

[TurBIce]

Would driling the baffle do anything? as in noise level?
more holes = more noise?
or does it work another way?

[Gosling1]

Don't worry, it will work, the pressure of the exhaust will force them out. Flipping the cans from end to end won't do anything, there is no pressure to force the bits out...

$400 to modify an exhaust ?? forget that. its a rip.

[ZZR KWAKA]

Gosling.... I have already tried what you suggested earlier today...And it doesnt work..........

As said there are several cylinders in the can... And it isnt any sort of straight through process

[photomike666]

Can't help you on modifying process, but wonder what your intentions are?

Even a "simple" straight through can is engineered for specific gas flow to aid power output at some point in the rev range. Simple removing a baffle may have an adverse effect or simply make the bike louder. Louder for the sake of louder is not always a good thing, louder for the sake of faster is a different matter

Have a go if ya want to but as it says
ITS ALL AT YOUR OWN RISK !

Well Well... Thanks all for thee lil tips..... But there is nothing that can be done without having some cutting and welding experience... As it is fully sealed cans that I am working with...

The only Mod I could do is to knock out the baffle by slamming a pole down the guts... And I am not that desperate to do that.... So I guess its going to be staying standard unl;ess I get some money thrown my way....lol
