Default Exhaust baffles question

Can anyone tell me if Bassani 2" baffles from their 4" pipes will fit in SE 3 1/2" slip-ons? My pipes have developed a tinny sound to them after 17k miles which I can't stand and I like the way the Bassanis sound.

I think you might run into some problems?
So I don't think you can.

Why not just get the Bassani slipons? If you have both in hand, give it a try but I doubt it will work.

Cuz the slip-ons are $500-$600 and baffles are $120.

The problem I see is this:
How are you going to stuff 4" baffles into a 3.5" pipe. There is a 1/2" difference. Not unless you have good fab skills and cut the flanges off the 4" baffle and reweled some 3.5" ones back on them so that they will slide right in. Then you have to find some 3.5" baffle flanges also.
