Hi All,
Want to remove the baffles from my stock Z750 pipe.
Is this hard to do?. Is it simply a case of drilling the pop rivets off the end of the pipe, and removing the baffles.
How are the baffles packed?, do they just slide out?.
I got a quote for $240 to get this done at a shop, and no way in hell am I paying that.

Mate get an aftermarket pipe..............................
Keep your original, that way if you get pinged you can put the original back on to pass inspection.

I was of the impression it wasn't that hard to remove the baffles, that's why I wouldn't mind doing that until I get an aftermarket pipe....
Gotta get me some new gear before pipe.

OEM Baffles can be Pretty Tricky to take out as they normally are spot welded into the outter sleeve with Partitions separting compartments.
After market pipes on the other hand are usually a "pieceofpoop" to muck with as they only have a single pipe inside as opposed to a few like the OEM units

1. take 1 large metal rod (preferably with a pointed end)
2. place pointy end inside muffler
3. take 1 large metal mallet or hammer.
4. whack the absolute crap out of the metal rod using the mallet or hammer.
5. Baffles been removed.

ant, befoire doing as Duane said (he is right) maybe you should read Tanya's baffles removed thread.
You are going to make the fueling go to shit.
Hope you have a big selection of needles, a dyno and a LOT of time on your hands dude.....
OOPS Z750 so assume late model & EFI.
In THIS case you ONLY need PCIII, Dyno and good operator.....
If it only makes noise and no power, whats the point ??
Is it really worth the hassle for the noise ?
(Says he of open Micron fame....)

Just because you CAN ride, doesn't mean you SHOULD

hehe 
I got a bit carried away when i did it to my two fiddy, after whacking the crap out of it, went back to my mates workshop, cut off the muffler, cut off both ends, removed the whole frikken lot, welded it back together wahlaa magic, straight through can.
Sounded like a lawnmower on steriods.

Despite this fi problems.
It's worth doing if you want the sound without the $$$ spent.
Power commander is alot cheaper than
A exhaust can and power commander or full system and power commander
