Use an air compressor to blow the **** outta the baffle...I've submerged mine in water and cleaned it up with a compressor...no problems with water or anything staying in there at all. If you're that worried get some alcohol and use it to clean in there...I wouldn't imagine you have a ton of **** caked in there.

i bought a powder coated vc for my stock d15 and it had some grit on the bottom. guy said most of his had that and it wasnt a problem, well its been on for over a year and when i removed it sure enough nothing had come off... long story short it should be ok, if your really worried about it buy like some files or something at home depot cause p.c. aint easy to come off.
