Baffle Issue

I posted this in general, but driving me nuts. I'm getting a high pitched jingling noise with my baffles. The pipes are fine, but the baffles are cheap. I'm assuming they were mean't to be thrown away, but I need them to pass inspection. Should I take them out and put them back in for inspection? Is there a company that makes better baffles? What do you think?

RE: Baffle Issue

Well. Here's the deal. I was thinking about going baffless until next year. 80 bucks a piece for a baffle is insane. I'm helping for my daughter's wedding. The baffles are cheap and noisey.

$80 for a baffle????

DAMN!!! LoL.....

There are a million different metal baffles available, from 4" on up to over a foot, and 1.5" OD on up.

I know guys that are running these "mini" 4 inch baffles in their drag pipes (and mufflers) with excellent results.

Cost, $3.99 each plus shipping.

Thanks bro!!

You can also get those in a 12" length, for about $9.00 each.

But the 4" mini's sound great. They take the edge off (if you know what I mean) but only drop the tone output a few points.
