Default RE: baffle question

The larger the number the louder they sound.... basically the number indicates how much free flow area there is if that makes any sense.. so a 1.5 would have baffles covering the inside of the pipe except for 1.5 inches of it. a 2.5 would have baffles covering all except for 2.5 inches of it... therefore the 2.5 would have more free flowing, therefore louder..understand?? if the pipe is 3 inches in dia. and 2.5 was free flowing it only really has .5 inches of baffle around the pipe
