Default Python Slip on problem

The baffle of one of the mufflers is rattling. It is rattling where the baffle and the pipe come together on the inside of the muffler. I have applied muffler crack sealer to the baffle so there would be no gaps in the joint and reassembled, but in a few miles, that fix breaks down and I get the rattle again. Screws are in good and tight, plus locktite.

Anyone else have had this problem? If so, what did you do to fix.

I pulled the baffles out and punched the end plugs out of them. I've seen that some have the plug and some don't, mine did. Of course the sound got a bit louder but no more rattles. Oh the bike shakes more at idle too.
