Love the more free reving and deeper exhaust sound after completely opening up the stock system

There are 3, 1 in front of the silencer and 2 aft which are perforated. The one in front is solid.

The rear baffle already has holes in it. I took it out with a hole saw first, beacuse it was easy to reach. Much nicer exhaust sound and a marked improvement on pinking.
The front one demands two extensions on the drill (= one more) and then it all starts to wobble. Approach from the front. It has no holes in it at all, the fumes go "around" it, so to speak. As a precaution against too much noise I have drilled four 9 mm holes in the front baffle and I am still evaluating. More, throatier exhaust rumble and the manifolds no longer glow red. Almost no pinking. Not sure I need to use the hole saw and there is room for at least four more 9 mm holes.
Oh, a tip for you: It takes forever to get the bit to bite into the stainless, but using an impact drill made it a doddle. It took seconds to drill a hole, in stead of several minutes.
M3W, now!!!

The rear and center baffles have holes in them. I removed all three but in retrospect, I should have just removed the front solid disk and then evaluated the difference. The engine definitely pulls stronger de-baffled.
