Default Queiting down pipes-How?

I have Martin Bros. Medustas pipes with a 4" mini baffle, the ones that look like there made with a can opener.
There a little too loud, I am attracting the wrong attention.
Can I wrap them with fiberglass. Does that make sense?
Can someone reccomend a different baffle?

Martin Bros. has not answered their phone in weeks.
