vance & hines baffle removal

Hey guys quick question...am rattle bombing the inside of my new chrome header...it ocurred to me that it might not be a bad idea to mask/shoot the muffler also...removed 7/16 bolt on back end and smacked it around a little...no movement...don't want to destroy new parts going all "cro magnon" on it, but would it be ok to stick a broomstick in the skinny end of muffler and tap it outthe bel? Anything I am missing?

Yes, & if its new it should come out with a couple of taps

Thanx pete! I "cowboyed up" and took a couple taps...no problems..!kinda feel embarrased for even asking! Paranoia will destroy ya! LOL! Thanx again!

Better to ask, & be safe than not to ask, & regret it later

So what is up with the paint inside? Does it keep it from bluing with heat?

Yes, adds a layer of insulation.
Ive also had good luck taking older chrome headers that were kind of scuffed up looking, glass beading them and psinting them black.
They hold up better than plain old painted headers.
