I just got done removing my stock exhaust pipe and the debond did help. I used a heat gun and that didn't seem to do too much and then I hammered a wood wedge in and it provided a little gap to spray the debond in. You can hear it crackle when putting it on. I am sure you can do it without but it did seem to help.

I haven't gotten the baffle out. I was debating on just leaving it in for the simple fact I have no idea how to get it out. There is zero room to pull it out because of the length of the hose.

Does anybody have any advice on getting the baffle out? I can't really have somebody from the outside pull it with pliers because it is already against the transom. Thanks!
