Default What kind of Baffle

Well, I can't be the the loudest bike in the hood anymore. I am tired of being hassled by the police whom have nothing better to do (No criminals in this city).

Problem is find a baffle to fit my Martin Brothers two into one three inch pipe.
Any suggestions for a baffle that will take it down 10 decibels ?

Smartpartz baffles are the only ones that might bring it down 10db. To get 10, you might need to wrap your existing baffles before putting the smartpartz in.

How about some soup cans with holes punched in them and wrapped with matting

or

You could take a piece of exhaust pipe put holes in it and wrap/stuff some steel wool around it with a huge washer as an end plate.

I have checked out the Smartpatz baffle, they look like what I am looking for.
As far as existing baffles, there are none, thus I need to quiet it down abit, just a tad, a little, small fraction, .....
