I think this is common among slip on's no matter the brand. When the packing starts to burn away the sound will get louder.

The solution would be to pull the baffles and redo the packing. Check with Jamie at Fuel Moto they have a high temp packing that they use on their new Jackpot slip on's and I've heard they are Superior to any other packing you can buy.
