First off, not a hi-jack, more an education. You learn some interesting technical stuff and also how little you know and understand.
But to my baffle, it would not be the one shown, it would be replaced with a 1 5/8" OD perferated baffled that is cimped down and welded at end. I was not thinking of trying some internal packing in the current one.
As for the current baffle, there is a possibility of putting packing on outside, concern is keeping the packing in place and not blowing it through.
It's not really a noise issue, the combo of the addtional baffle with the baffling in the VooDoo creates a nice low rumble at idle that is loudish, but not obnoxious when you are on throttle. In end it is a direct pass through, with just tabs blocking/redirecting flow. They are aligned, as I set it up, so you cannot see through them if you look into it from the end where it attaches to header.
Like mentioned my bigger concern is back pressure and when you have an occasional backfire, like when you dump throatle after hard excelleration it shots some blue flame out the back. Occasionally when I shut bike down it backfires, it did it with the stock muffler also. I have concern say if I go to get gas and shut bike down at a gas pump and it shots some flame out the rear, not a great spot for that sort of thing to happen.
My thoght was with a littlemore back pressure and a bit of blockage it might help curtail that.
