Random weekend sh!t and I pulled apart the stock can on my '22 R7 to see what could be done internally. Thinking of modifying the baffle setup to get a bit more growl without going full aftermarket. If anyone's opened theirs and has pics or tips, it'd be great to compare before I start welding stuff back together. TIA.

pulling apart the stock R7 exhaust is a bold move, manRandom weekend sh!t and I pulled apart the stock can on my '22 R7 to see what could be done internally.

one tip from me is that you'll likely find chambers and perforated tubes. Removing internal walls gets louder, but watch for flat spots in power.
for the balance, aim for a good growl without making it droning or sacrificing too much performance

I've taken apart my 2022 R7 stock can too, modifying the baffles can def give you a nicer growl without losing too much backpressure. Just be careful tho not to remove too much material or you'll hurt performance.
