I removed the end cap then cut the rear baffle holding plate with a Dremmel cutter, then hammered away on the two baffle tubes until they broke loose from the front holder. I don't remember now if I cut it from the front or not. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't very hard either. I think it was well worth the effort. Almost all the "muffling" of the sound is done by the primary muffler can under the frame in front of the rear wheel.
How did you perform the exhaust modification

Thanks for the information and your bike sounds great
