The baffle or “pea shooter” is a spark arrester located in your muffler. Its purpose is to fulfill state and federal noise and emission regulations. Removing the baffle should only be done for the purpose of racing and is done at your own risk. Be responsible and follow all your local laws. When you remove the baffle you have NO SPARK ARRESTOR.
