The rose nut came off OK. The front pipe, not unlike the rear one, is welded on though. So the entire exhaust is one piece which made it a bit of a challenge to get off!
Welded front tube:
It's off now, so I just need to work up the courage to take an angle grinder to it and hope there wasn't a very good reason why it was welded.
When you say the rear pipe should be bolted on, do you mean it inserts some way into the silencer and the the bolt passes right through both silencer and pipe to hold it in place? Won't that push the new baffle in too far for it to get a grip? Or does the 'fat' end of the baffle friction fit into the pipe, therefore protruding into the silencer, and the bolt go through all three?
Sorry for all the questions and my lack of knowledge.
Thanks Ian,
Jon
