CB 500 Four - Something loose in exhaust

(1/2) > >>

Siloxious:
Hello everyone!

I've recently started cleaning the original exhaust pipes of my CB 500 Four. I have noticed there is something loose in one pipe.
It sounds metallic when I shake the pipe and I fear it's a loose baffle. When shaking, a small metal piece also fell out.

Does anyone know if it is indeed a loose baffle? Can I repair this one way or another?

Thanks in advance!

All exhausts rot from the insides out as they get older. Afraid, no way to repair. There is a vid somewhere of one being given a cut away so you can see what they look like inside  ;)

Oddjob:
Could just be a large amount of rust flakes, don't worry about it, just make sure the drain hole is clear.
