I don't recommend this, and something tells me that without making some other
modifications, that reducing back pressure could potentially harm your engine.
That said, here's a video where a guy removed the back plates for a CB 250. It
sounds cheesy to me but then I'm also a Harley owner. Watch "cb250 Nighthawk
Exhaust With and Without Baffles" on YouTube

Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Nighthawk 550 exhaust mods. Possibilities?
I'm don't have the bike here with me at the moment, but I was just thinking, I
don't believe there are any rivets at the end of the pipes on the 550. The
baffles are literally welded in, so unless I'm mistaken, which is quite
possible:) there is no need to have rivets.
If I'm right, and there aren't rivets, can I just drill holes into the back of
the baffling cover? If so, does anyone have an idea if doing that would
somehow mess up the backpressure/air mixture, etc. and have and effect on how
the bike runs?

I love everything about the bike with one exception. I wish it wasn't so darn
quiet. I don't need it to be as loud as a Harley, but I honestly can't hear
the engine above the wind noise in my full face helmet once I get above 50 mph.
I can see that the baffles are welded in. Other than changing the system to a
4 into 1 header or something like that, is there any way to modify the stock
exhaust? I only paid $900 for the bike, so I'm not going to spend hundreds on
another exhaust. Thanks
