Baffled!

[John_FJ]

Hi guys, a while back I got myself a SP Engineering can n link pipe. I thought I would take out the baffle before fitting it and just replace for the mot next year. When removed its only about 2" long and just fits into the last bit it the pipe. Would this be right? the last time I removed the baffles they were about 6" long and went right into the can. Perhaps its been cut down to give the appearance of having a baffle fitted? Any Ideas?
Thanks John
