To be honest, I have not shoved anything through the pipe, but right where the pipes meet, there is no baffling of any kind. The guy who posted a video of his '09 bike a few years back which I believe is still on the Excalibur site and Mefast site mentioned something about taking it out on his thread (not in the video) way back when he was a member here and had a thread on his bike. My '09 did not have it, but since I bought it used, assumed that the previous owner(s) might have removed it. But my new bike, right out of the crate, did not have anything as far as what was visible to the eye when I had taken the exhaust pipes off. Just for 's$%ts and giggles' I took the front pipe off yesterday and nothing. But, now that you mention it, I should stick something flexible through both peipes to see if anything is inside the pipe out of visual perspective.
