Default Boss 302 baffles

How easy is it to remove the baffles on the new Boss? Do I need to place it on a lift? The sales people and the service department did not even know they were there!

You can place it on a lift or use a floor jack, takes about 5 minutes to do both. Just lift the car, then when you're under it you'll see two bolts halfway up the side exhaust and one bolt at the end of the side exhaust by the door, remove both of them and take out the baffle and put it back on........really simple.

Yep, no lift required.
Well worth the effort.
BTW, they are not 'baffles'.
They are small plates with very small holes drilled in them.
If one has to call them something, they are more like a 'restricter'
than a 'baffle'.

Soon to be entering 8th decade but I should be able to slide under the car.
I sure as hell have to get the baffles off. Don't get to experience that very often.

Awesome! lol, unless your arms are really short you should be able to reach fine. if you cant reach, a jack and jack stands will do it for you
