Hey guys im having a rough time understanding how to drill the baffles. when you say drill 2 holes does it mean 2 holes in each baffle or do you just stick the drill in and drill straight back till you go through 2 baffles creating 2 total holes 1 in each baffle?

get a long drill bit, stick it in the end of the tail pipe, drill.
It will get really hard to drill, thats a baffle. When you get though it, it will get easy for a inch or two, then you will hit another baffle. so drill though that too.
then your done.

you can drill all you want but the restriction is on the other end of the pipe known as the "J " bend if you use an elite-s pipe you will see what i mean= instant speed/ less restrictive!!! another secret reveiled

I was getting about getting about 75mi/gal on my *fully stock* '01 elite s. After boring the exhaust and removing the variator restrictor I just calculated 92.5mi/gal while going 10mi/h faster.
It makes sense--less back pressure from the exhaust means freer expulsion of exhaust gases means more O2 means more energy yield per cycle. By the way I accidentally did a wheelie the first time I rode my de-restricted hog--watch out.
