It looks like you successfully removed them. What is your next step, now that they are removed?

No no.. this pic is not from my bike. Pic only shows that the left one is already removed from my bike, but the next
right one is still in place. My question is: If I drill this yellow pointed places, circle around these two
pipes and hammered circle open, so can I then take off this second part what is the picture on the right
part.

I think what Troll was trying to tell you is that you would not be gaining much by removing those pipes. There is no baffling inside. As far as how they can be removed, I don't know either. Let us know how you finally get them out. Thanks

No I  fraid that I dont take this plate out before I am absolutely sure that this first plate is the only welding point.

Ok I know. But my question is: If I drill cirle around these pipes to the end - like my picture shows- , does the first "core" released easily with pliers then?

The two pipes coming out are straight through. There are no baffles, just perf core pipes with steel pack around them. If you don't believe me, stick a LONG dowel down the pipe...I have 3 of these mufflers, and they are all the same.

Honestly don't know. I am wondering if the exhaust is the same as the US model. Does yours have a "goat bladder" underneath the bike? I am pretty sure someone on here has done this. Sorry we don't have a mod for that specifically.

I take pic to my oem Drifter exhaust on the back. Does anyone have any experience, is this baffle
welded to anywhere other than just behind, as shown in the picture.

If I drill a circle around the two pipes, do I just take off the baffle with the pliers? Have any experiences?
