    What the quickest and easiest way to insert the securing bolt for the baffle on a shorty akrapovic without having to take it off each time

    I find it really tricky and fiddly to do it with the small gap between the can and the swing arm.

    Often wondered about carefully drilling and re tapping on the outside and refitting bung............ as it a right pain in the arse !!!!!!!1

    ok £10 was a bit ambitious,

    get a straight one tho, not angled, and measure your hole first :D

    Most important thing is the diameter. You can always trim the length baffle to fit. Even if you just had the ring that would still reduce the noise
