Default accessing 1981 GS850L exhaust internals

our stethascope places a rattle in the exhaust around where the heatshield is at. it appears the exhaust is welded all the way around so we couldnt find a way to get inside. i've been trying to find replacement 4-1's but i didnt know if anyone knew how to get in the exhaust without cutting. this is the left side exhaust pipe.
