Unless someone can identify the manufacturer ... stop by a muffler shop and have him deep swedge a piece of ( measure perforated portion ) ?? 1.75 tubing to the OD of the large end of the other baffle, cut it where necessary and weld it on ... Been there, done that

I'm sure of you took both baffles to a fabricator he can make you a new end and weld it back on.. As long as he had the other one to copy.. Then buy some wrap and bolt it back in..

IDK whose it is... But that is a well designed item... Too bad it failed... I certainly would try to fix that...

Dennis Kirk has one that looks like it might fit. Made by drag specialties. I will try to order a pair when I get home from work tonight.

I had a Huth pipe bender in the shop ... I made a lot of custom stainless exhaust for rods and show cars ... this is an easy fix as I mentioned earlier

I'm gonna stray off Topic here... Larry, could you do Mandrel bends??
You ain't that far from me...and Drag Racing is still a demanding calling!!!
