You can easily remove it as it is only held in with a couple of small, 1/4" screws, one at the lower left bottom and the other at the upper right near the outside edge of the baffle (there is a green wire attached to it). Once the screws are removed, the baffle slips off from the exhaust tube that is hidden currently by the baffle.
