Default Custom Exhaust

I'm in the process of making my own exhaust. I was going to install the Vance and Hines baffle in the pipe but they are too big in diameter. I'm using 1-3/4" pipe. Does anyone have any suggestions for a decent baffle? I don't want it too quiet but I want to muffle it a little and create some back pressure. Thanks!

As I said in my post I want to muffle it a little. Lollipops will give me back pressure.

Lollypops will take the blat out but will take some experimenting to determine the correct size and angle for back pressure. Thunder torques are the surest bet.
