Review (cont.)
Okay, the extra baffle arrived and was a pretty quick job to fit to the existing exhausts (just insert and re-screw, mine needed to be tweaked a bit but nothing major).
Fired it up and while the noise was cut down a little it was still at a fairly 'anti social' level. undeterred i removed the outer and new inner baffle and picked up some more packing material from my local dealership.
I repacked the outer baffle (so it now sits snug in the pipe) and added packing to the inner baffle (so it also sits snug).
Once inserted i had a sound that's significantly closer to 'sociable' (i'd say it's shaved 1/4 off the volume) whilst retaining most of the character of the pipes.
(still over road legal limits but not by a crazy amount i think - thats a guess, i'm getting Db readers for all three levels done as soon as i can borrow the equipment). Anyhow, for those that missed it before...
