Default Big Radius baffles?

I recently bought a used Wide Glide that came with a V&H Big Radius exhaust. These pipes are LOUD and it's getting a little tedious to have to wear earplugs. I looked into the pipes to see if the previous owner removed the baffles. I see what looks like a baffles, but I don't see the grooves that you normally see. The grooves might be hidden behind the curve of the pipe. Can someone tell me if these are the baffles?

Those appear to just be the pipes. Looks like the baffles have been removed. You can see the hole where the screw is used to fasten the the baffle to the pipe. You could buy a set of Big City Thunder QQ baffles if you want to tame the sound of those pipes.

If you havent bought new baffles yet, another option is TTI inserts (loli pops) from DK customs. Most people seem to like them and they wont break the bank.
