Default Removing exhaust plug

I just bought a Y pipe and stock GM exhaust from a buddy of mine. It's for my 88 vert. The old system rotted out. The Y pipe and mufflers are in great shape (Paid $25 for the whole system).

I noticed that there is a plug in the two inside exhaust pipes, the two outside pipes are wide open.

Is there a way to remove the two plugs in the inside exhaust pipe??? Can it be drilled and using a dent puller, yank them out??? They look like they are only held in place by a pressure fitting.

Any help would be great. :confused:

A long metal rod and a hammer did the trick on my "87. According to previous posts, that is supposed to be good for 5 hp. It will give a little more buzz in the driving compartment.

So you are saying to knock the plug into the muffler???

Won't that cause a problem with it flying around inside the muffler and possibly getting in the way of the exhaust ports again???

Is there not a way to get the plug out of there?? :confused:

Could always cut into the mufflers and gut them out. I did that on a set of old Flowmasters. :p: Cut em, gut em..weld them back up.
