Default Rinehart true duals too loud?

Has anyone had any luck with toning these down with fiberglass packing/matting? I love the sound but after a couple hundred miles these just make my ears ring.

Why not just get a set of ear plugs? Me and my dad rode our bikes from South Carolina to Indiana, and both of us have Rinehart True Duals on our bikes. With a set of ear plugs in, I could barely hear my dad's pipes in front of me. No ringin' in my ears at all after a 620 mile one-way trip. That would be my recommendation for long rides. I picked up my ear plugs for a couple bucks at Walmart.

I used stainless steel matt that I had lying around.
It seems to have done well at quiting down the overall volume.
I've only had them wrapped about 500 miles so I don't know how long it will hold up.

For very long trips I use ear plugs also, helps with the Rineharts but mostly the wind noise. I can still hear the stereo fine.

I have the quite baffels in my Rineharts wrapped in fiberglass mat. Very mellow tone until you get on it hard.

Oasis

Do these baffles pull out fairly easy or are they a PITA to get out? Also where do you get fiberglass matting from?

I'm running the quiet baffels (no packing) and I'd say they are much quieter runnin down the road. But as said above, still have a nice bark when you get on the throttle. Takes a little coaxing to remove the originals, other than that it's an easy job. I originally planned to swap em back and forth but haven't bothered for over a year. So I guess I'm happy with em.
