Can you take a pic of before and after from side and ends?

Sheepdog - mine looked just like the ones in your link - except that they were very black and dirty.
Perhaps someone else can take a picture before reinstalling, but I'm not really excited about pulling one back out at the moment.

My wife just reminded me that I have the 8" long pieces I originally cut off over at the garage! I'll shoot a picture of those tomorrow and post it for you - just remember they're 2" shorter than the length you want.

Here you go -

A picture of 20" of cut up baffle

An 8" section

An end shot

I'm hoping these all show up.

If you cut the baffle in half you'll have a 10" section - which is what I'm running and love the sound and power.
These things are really very tuneable - as you can bend in the open end (pointing toward the engine) a little or a lot and tune both back pressure and sound. If you don't want to spend the money on quiet baffles, simply cut one end off the 20" stock baffle and bend in the sides most of the way - they bend rather easily. If you want a little deeper sound, cut the baffles down to 10-12" and bend to your personal liking.
Enjoy!
