Rebaffle exhaust any suggestions

Post by VFR400+ » Wed Jun 08, 2011 4:38 pm

I decided to rebaffle my JHA exhaust, also planning to replace the carbon tubes as have taken a few knocks. I could hear something rattling around when the cans were shaken?! So drilled out the rivets and opened them up. Only for the baffles to fall out. Both were broken and were in too. Would be fine if they were removable although they seem to be welded in on the inlet side. In a moment of fury I took a hammer and screwdriver to one but just bend what was left of the baffle.

Any tips on what I could do?!

The baffle is 41mm diameter by about 270mm long. Thats a rough length as not sure how far down the tube it goes.

Have had great results with acoustafil baffling. Get it thru eBay. Goes in as a compacted mat and opens up with heat. Much easier to use, barely any dearer, meant to last longer and best of all no itchiness.

Found MIJ exhaustparts that sell a 45mm perforated tube in a meter length. So I can cut this down to the length of the can and cover with some packing and then secure with wire. Just be just the job will be like two new cans! :)

Cheers for the suggestions and the pm Geoff

Next to sort the slider seals on the rear caliper.
