Default V&H Baffle

Just installed a V&H prop pipe HS and am curious about the baffle.
There is a 1 inch strip of fiberglass wrapped around the end blocking some holes between two flanges . It doesn't look like the exhaust could get past the first flange so what's the purpose of the glass packing?

Reduces noise and creats back pressure if I'm not mistaken...

I put the Quiet baffles on my Big Shot Staggereds and IMHO I like the deeper/richer sound better rather than the standard baffles. You should try to listen to both and then make your decision.
