QUESTION: hi mike,the mufflers can only be seen from the back end as there one piece pipes.the mufflers are 12" inches long and touch the inside of the pipe wall the whole  12"inches. thankyou for your time..mark flagg.

Answer
If you installed them there should be a bolt holding them in. If they are tight you are going to have to use a screw driver to bend the edges of the baffles and try to pull them out. If the baffles were installed at a factory they are probably tack welded and will be a bear to get out. You can try a dent puller to get them out.
Good luck and happy riding
