Looking for 2 baffles to fit in cannon exhausts.
Not sure if there are different kinds or what I need, maybe someone can advise.
Thanks

Depends on what type you have.  If they are the ones which pinch then flare at the end I'm reasonably certain you cannot fit them.  It might be possible to pack them with exhausty stuff, but what stops if blowing straight out I don't know.

The ones referred ( I think )  as Mega Cannon's can have inserts fitted.  I think CoolairVW and the like do them.

Is that a guy or a girl in that??!?!

I'd recommend once you get them wrap them good with the wool exhaust stuff. Even with baffles they're still mightly loud

I thought I posted this lastnight but I guess it never went through.

If you have the mega cannons, I got the universal exhaust baffles from ebay, not these exact ones, im sure the sizing was different but they look identical " eBay item number:200606943321 "

They dont have the multiple baffling channels like the originals do, but nothing some spare pipe and a spot weld couldn't sort out, then its just a case of wrapping them up nice and tight.

I had thought about extending mines so I could wrap more wool stuff around them to help bring the tone down a bit.

I remember someone posting once that if you cut an old fibreglass fire blanket into strips it works well to wrap the baffles with.
