Remember to check the thickness of the ceramic. If you do the muffler inside and out you may never get the baffle back in. Just thinking out loud.
I'd also second repositioning the hole. I'm wondering if there's anything I could do to a new muffler that would pay off in the long run when I need to remove the baffle. Maybe pull it all apart and do some high temp anti seize before installation? Also need to get something on the inside of the pipe to protect from rust. Mine looks horrible down inside by the baffle. Apparently they only coat the outsides.

I'm gonna ask about thickness and coating the inside of the muffler. If Greg thinks it may be an issue, I may have him leave it alone, mask everything off when I get it back together, and spray it with VHT.

Sounds like a plan. I'm learning from your snipping.......

I figured that was why your pipe and heat shields aren't in my truck with mine....

Nah. The correct muffler is enroute to the house. I wanna do them all the same time so they match. It'll give me good reason to pull the muffler apart to do some preventative maintenance. My headpipe is in much the same condition as yours.

Dropped everything off at the coaters. Everything gets a sandblasting and a chemical bath before coating. I asked about coating the inside of the headpipe, and he said they spray it in at the ends, but they can't do the entire thing. He also said that the coating wasn't thick enough to affect the fit of the muffler or baffle. We'll see.

Or maybe...
But I hope not... |

I figure I'll clean up the baffle with some emery paper before I put it back in. And then there will be a ton of copper anti-seize involved as well.

I love the smell of burning copper anti-seize in the morning...

It makes a good splatter pattern all over a garage. That and the copper sealant if you don't let t dry before firing it up

Slamming the tip of the muffler today got me nowhere, so I tried RKOtter's wood wedge idea. I used two 42" 2x2s, and cut an angle in one end of each (the angle was probably 4" long). Once I got the angles seated into each other, the baffle popped out with about 5 good whacks.
Then, of course, I couldn't extract the 2x2s. So......Fire it is.
