The baffles in slip-on mufflers do more than just reduce noise; they also work to create a backpressure that helps to evacuate the combustion chamber of exhaust gases. Removing them will have a negative effect.
Yes, it is possible to remove or bend baffles in an exhaust system without cutting it open, depending on the design of the exhaust. Some systems have removable baffles that can be accessed through existing openings or end caps. For fixed baffles, techniques such as using a snake tool or similar device might allow for bending them without disassembling the exhaust. However, care must be taken to avoid damaging the exhaust or affecting performance negatively.
It is bad for your neighbors.
You don't even want to!
That reduces exhaust back pressure and will affect your performance unless you get the bike on a computer.
no , it will start to back fire

You can remove the baffles from inside the muffler but the neighbors won't be happy.
One simple screw on inside of the pipe near the rear shock remove screw. Grab some pliers Nd pull the baffle out of the pipe. Simple as that
Cut the pipe at the end of taper and pull it out. Best to remove the pipes from bike then place on bench. Remove fiberglass insulation as well from this site and grind the burrs off end.
Most Harley Davidson mufflers have "2" sets of baffles. one in the rear and one in the front close to the location where the muffler meets the head pipe. I have found the best wat to remove these is to remove the mufflers, stand them on end on a padded surface ) a few towels will do) and use a piece of galvanized plumbing pipe and a hammer and knock the baffles in until they are flat against the inside of the muffler. But, if you remove the baffles you will also need to increase the flow of gas to the valves or you will burn them out. The Vance and Hines Fuelpack or the Harley CD download ( dealer only) will do the trick. The bike will run so much better once you let it breath. Good Luck
Removing the baffles from a KTM XC-W 450 can improve exhaust flow and potentially enhance performance, but it may also lead to increased noise levels and could affect the bike's tuning. Additionally, it might violate local noise regulations or off-road riding rules. It's essential to consider these factors and consult your owner's manual or a professional mechanic before making modifications. Ensure that any changes comply with legal requirements and do not compromise the bike's reliability or warranty.
i cut the pipe about 3 or so inches back, far enough to get past the tack welds. then just pulled them out. Be prepared to Jet the carb though
