Yes BUT to do so you need to cut where two pipes meet and separate then remove all the pipes and wadding inside then re-weld. I’ve not done it but a few people on Facebook have. I was hoping you could just remove baffle but cant apparently take a look on the Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1434217350055102/?ref=share
Let me paraphrase then looks like something you could do if you had a grinder and welding skills and once you open up the fat end at the join to the straight pipes a whole load of baffle material and pipes inside which I then have to grind out leaving just the hollow pipes some people have done this in conjunction with a decat but I hear it causes some back pressure issues don’t even know what that is. If its weight loss and sound your after check out the SP Engineering pipes, again too loud with decat
Hi all - first post here. I have yet to receive my 1200 XE, but, I am counting the days until delivery here to Texas from New Hampshire. Meanwhile - I've been trying to read and watch everything I can on the scrambler. Several YouTube video posts out there on the De CAT. It does make sense it would be hotter - the whole purpose of the unit is to heat the interior ceramics high enough to burn unused fuel. I would guess De CAT is better for heat, throttle response and MPG - albeit may be very minimal. I'm going to guess it saves a few kilos in weight too as the ceramics can be heavy. I will do the heat shield lining trick - appreciate that suggestion.
I’d love to hear how the fix goes. Thatvbike barely lost to out to the Bonniville I bought... Because the wife is short and didn’t like the climb to get on the scrambler.
Done three things to reduce the heat fitted a D cat pipe then wrapped the exhaust behind the shields and finally put some heat reflective material on the inside of the rear most heat shield all in all way more bearable now
