BAFFLE HELP NEEDED!!!

[Sledgehammer]

OKAY... must have been a salty winter as i cant get my lower baffle out of my exhaust..

its a blue flame evo with twin baffles.. i have removed the circlip and tried near as dam it everything.. problem is now that the baffle looks like i have tried everything so i think i might have to get a new one..

might have to drill the old one out any suggestions?
also do blueflame sell replacement baffles dont want to be buying
a new exhaust because i cant get the dam thing out...


any ideas???

If it's jammed tight, get the exhaust nice & hot, then remove it, don't forget metal will expand a little bit when hot ;)

If not, squirt a load of WD40 in there & leave it for a while - Hope these help :wink:

[Sledgehammer]

Tried the WD40 method but no luck as for the hot exhaust sounds like a good plan will try that tomorrow...

cheers...

It should just pop out mine did, mind you I took mine out when it was new and havent put them back in yet :twisted:

Is is the bottom or top baffle ?

Try getting the exhaust hot and then sticking the an ice cube on the baffle, the ice will cool the baffle which will make the metal contract, worth a try

[Sledgehammer]

Its the bottom baffle... and to be honest it looks really bad now chewed up to buggery..

tried to email blueflame but having problems when i try to mail them from there web site...

going to try and get there number and get a price for a replacement..

[Sledgehammer]

Well had to wait till weekend as i am on stupid shifts..

rang Blueflame up and they where exellent sent me some new Baffles this morning...

tried the warm the exhaust trick up but it REALLY WAS STUCK IN...
so out came the drill :shock: pliers and everything... but... success its out admittingly not going to be able to use it again but wft...

the guy at Blueflame says if your going to keep it in then apply some silicone lub around the edges to prevent it happening again..

just glad its out... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Regardless of the workmanship it does sound like quality customer support though!
