Stock BDR exhaust from 2012

[RT3BDR1144]

Question for the experts on side pipes. I know there are different schools of thought on exhaust modifications and the benefits. I stuck my phone down the pipes to see what was actually in there. I always assumed it was fairly wide open. To my surprise, it seems to have a baffling or “something” to that effect running down the pipe, wondering if this is considered restrictive on sound and power? My question(s) is: has anyone removed this, does it actually run the length of the entire pipe? If you have removed it, did it dramatically increase the sound (loudness) logic tells me it would but I’m not sure? I’d be OK with louder:-) assuming it doesn’t change the tone of the exhaust note. I’m considering having a shop cut the end off and see if this could be removed and then have the end welded back on where it exists.... just don’t know if this is a wasted exercise for any actual changes.

Thanks!!
Mike
