Several years ago I bought a used pair of Sceptre pipes. They did not come with the 8" secondary baffles. For a long time I loved how loud they are but times change and I would like to quiet them down.
I have fabri-cobbled some 8" baffles with ceramic packing which make the sound much more tolerable, while still being fun, but I noticed a rivet that appears to hold the main baffle in place. I've done some reading but there's not much information about that baffle.
Does anyone know if that baffle can be removed & repacked so that the pipes would be quieter, which may allow me to not need to use the second baffles?
Many thanks.
