I´m surprised you lost power by loss of a baffle,er,I should say it baffles me. Guys usually take them out to get more power,so they think, when often the increase in noise probably makes them think they´ve gained power! I just bought NEW pipes and muffler for my ´82 GN 250-will have to send in the new picture when I´ve finished instakking them. Will maybe make a trip this summer down Vancouver Island to Nanaimo,from Sayward, if the rain lets up! Bill
