Baffle choices
Has anyone had any experience with Smartpartz baffles, as seen in J&P catalog? I seem to remember that there also was/is another aftermarket baffle by the name of Thunder Cones or something like that. Anyone have any information as to how well these work, are they pre-packed or not, or is it just as well to order manufacturer's replacement baffles or repack the existing ones?
My V&H Classic slip-ons are getting too loud, so I pulled the end caps & baffles (PIA), and found that the right one looks really good but the left is practically rusted out. Looks like a baffle off the Titanic. I'm in Colorado where it's dry most of the time so I don't think moisture is the cause. Any ideas?
Thanks again!

Hey Bro....if you figure this one out, please shoot me a note with your solution. I've got the same pipes on an '02 RKC that are getting a little "tired"...trying to find the same solution. Thanks!

Cathead....cool, thanks. That sounds like a workable solution. Since they don't make the Classis slip-ons anymore and the replacement baffles are no longer on their website or catalog, how did you order them? I'll be damned if I can get a response direct from VH on a couple simple questions. Thanks again!
