Without drilling holes or gluing things together, I have seen people cut a 1-1/2 " piece of small bicycle innertube, slip it over the muffler/tailcone joint, and put a small ty-wrap on each side of the joint. It holds the tailcone on in case of bolt breakage and can be easily removed for inspection. You ARE all running stock baffles in those mufflers, aren't you?

Before I propose that the TT PRO 40 muffler can be modified to eliminate the baffle, does anyone have any data comparing the RPM gain or loss by (A) modifying the baffle and/or (B) eliminating it? Motor = TT Pro 40, Prop = APC Sport 9 X 6.

I have heard buzz at the Club 40 races that modifying/eliminating it actually de-tunes the motor...

Typical Texas conditions are: 80 - 100 deg F, 60 - 90% humidity during races.

(Removing the baffle is such an easy task a first time racer/sport flyer could do it and it would save a lot of hassle during tech inspection.)
