Anyone repack the baffles in these? Mine are getting just a bit loud and I figure it's time to calm 'em down just a bit. Wondering what kind of stuffing to use....

Yep, pretty easy.You need new wool, Stainless Safety/Hobby wire and some good pliers. I fashioned go/nogo gauge the same size as the ID of the tubes, so I knew I could slide the baffle back in without fighting or screwing up the wool upon insertion. You can get away with no gauge, I just made one after fighting a baffle back in and bunched up the wool bad enough, I had to redo it.

Sounds realtively painless. Where would I get the 'wool'?

Wrap the baffles well. Do not wrap them "as tight as you can". The more compressed the material is, the less sound it will absorb. Wrap the baffles just snug, not tight.
