[napper39]

no one knows what i need to do,come on brothers help me get this baffle out,will i need to drill the bolt out or what.

never worked with that muffler. If you had a shot of the section tour working on would help but at any rate if the baffle was held in with nuts/bolts and tacked there may be another one on the opposite side. If it is that the bolt will not come out then you will probably have to drill it out. Does seem strange that they would put a removable baffle in and then make it non removable. Were there any instructions..?? Maybe online help from yoshimura..?? Good luck...

Remove rubber plug located on the inside of muffler. Grab a drill and bit, took me about 5 minutes.

no rubber plug on the inside is a nut welded there with threds for the bolt to go in to that i buger up trying to turn so i could get the baffel out.

Do you have a ziz wheel or a small chizel, or even use a hacksaw blade , wrap one end with eletrical tape, or even a sawzall, to get bolt out, or put a grinding tip on a drill, it just depends on the opening you have, Hope this helped.

thanks for the help ill try drilling the bolt out the inside is too small to try any thing in there,but i need a strong bit to drill with the bolt looks very strong so a cheap bit would brake,

Try , a concrete drill, it has carbide on the tip , and should drill thru most anything, make sure you drill a pilot hole first, or it will drift,a jobbers bit may work for the pilot hole.
