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

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

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
