I've been thinking about cutting out the baffles in my platform. I've got large 3 1/2" holes cut in the bottom already, I'm just curious is removing the baffles would make much of a difference? FYI this is on an 89 292 SR1

It can`t hurt at idle speed you will hear more rumble, but when your on plane those 3 1/2 holes you made will let exhaust flow pretty well. Really now worry about reversion.

What do you mean about reversion?

Not really reversion just water backing up into the platform like waves. but you have plenty of drainage. You`ll like the new change.
