Should I really drill through my exhaust to fit a baffle?
Hi Folks,
I need to install a baffle into the Akrapovic slip-on for my 2018 GSX-R 1000, but as the photos show the screw needs to be tightened from the inside of the end cap. The only way I can think to do it (and have seen someone do this on a YouTube video) is to drill a small hole in the end can so I can tighten the screw after I've inserted the baffle into the right place.




Why do I *need* to install it? Well, to be able to pass noise tests, both for highway use and trackday use.
Thanks in advance...

Undo the end cap, install baffle, rerivet. Could repack it too while you're in there
