Pictures help to know what pipe and where the screws are. But in a general answer, yes, if you take all of the screws out of a pipe the baffle will come out. Unless you have mine that apparently is frozen inside the pipe. You can heat it with a torch to get it to unrust, but that usually requires red hot and will likely ruin the chrome. My thoughts are to go riding till its good and hot, then (while wearing gloves) unscrew the bolts and pull the baffle.
After pulling the baffle you will need to rejet and buy the neighbors a 6-pack of their favorite cold beverage.

or do like kawisakiman... Unscrew, go for a ride, twist the throttle hard a few hundred times and shoot the baffle across the highway into the woods! :ohmy: :blink: :huh: :dry:
True, he did, lost it as a matter of fact... probably stuck it into the vehicile behind him.... :laugh: :laugh:

Rust welds the baffle in place over time. I recall I could take my can off the pipe and then reach in from the front with a broomstick and rap on it until it came out.
