i did the same on mine...drilled the rivets then put a scissor jack handle
hook bit in the baffle opening and yanked it out.... made a nice deep
thumping tone and not at all raspy or harsh...bearing in mind there is still
a baffle in the box muffler under the motor, i had no noticeable loss
of power in the low to midrange as these motors have plenty anyway
but i did manage an extra 10km/h in top speed... easily able to reach the
ton.
ive now got a stainless reverse mega and headers made by custom chambers
eliminating the heavy underslung box and twin wall headers etc
thus saving a lot of weight
but to be honest i far prefered the original system for sound and performance
(i will need to modify airbox a bit and adjust jetting to suit the new pipe)
i say rip into it...especially if your going to mod it later
