You can more than likely purchase baffle wrap from your dealer or indy , the sheets come in various sizes , my recommendation , is to buy a more dense wrapping and wrap the baffle as tight as you can and roll it on using a couple layers or until the wrap is on the outer edge of the baffle , then use packing tape , I've even used tuck tape to hold it in place . The tape will burn off , much like the saran wrap they use on factory pipes .

Some use bailing wire as well , but not for me , I find it heats up and burns the wrap , leaving you with peaces of wrapping . Also if the wire is up against the exhaust / slip on , it can leave a discoloration on the chrome .

Welcome to the forum , head over to the new member section and introduce yourself , lots of great members here and excellent info , good luck !

I wrapped baffle with stainless steel wool and secured with light "tag" wire. Not sure how much difference it really made, but seemed to take a little of the harshness/bark out of it. Special baffle wrap would probably work better but I didn't have much clearance to work with.
