Default Baffle question

I bought my 2000 Heritage used with Screaming Eagle II pipes on it, no baffles Great riding alone but no so great riding with other bikes. I searched the mufflers and can find no part numbers on them, would like very much to put medium sounding baffles in them without coughing up the 5-600$ for new pipes. I talked to bike shops and all they say is search the internet. I tried but to no avail. Ill try to post picture but probably can't. The mufflers look like they need about 2.5 diameter by 12 inches or less long, with the outlet ends slash cut. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim]

Big city thunder baffles would be your best bet

Update on getting baffles, I ordered a set for my heritage from Big City Thunder, they shipped them Monday and I got them in mail Wednesday. 10 minutes max installing both baffles. (no baffles in so saved time there). I could not believe the difference. Still fairly loud(which I wanted) but a different tone, mellow, bass, and Throaty. No popping and backfiring on deceleration, Just so smooth. Even Idling my bike has a better Harley "gallop" Thanks so much for your input.
