Not yet, but I was going to do that this summer.

same hear, but I'm not sure how to get the baffles out to get to the packing. Do I need to drill rivets out or something?

I was going to email barker and ask.  I'll post it up when I hear back.

I asked Tim about this when I bought mine, he said they should as long as you have them. He said that guy's with the original 660 pipe's were still running them.

But I know after 'x' ammount of hours you're supposed to change the packing. Ibelieve it was Dirt Wheels (maybe atv rider or quad.... )
That they did an artile and old packing can actually rob HP.

I think that was Tim's way of saying "oh crap, I forgot to make the cans so you can get the packing out".   I will take a close look at the cans to see what can be done.

I called Tim in the spring of '06 & he said the same thing, packing will be fine.    I take it the Barkers don't easliy come apart?

Maybe someone should call him and ask if the new ones will come apart?

I'll bet money that they will.

I haven't looked closely at a set of Barkers, how are the end caps attached?
Even better, how about a pic?
