The Longshots I got with my Drifter are damn loud
Looking down the pipe, they seem to be 'straight thru' with just some outer baffling. There is a mounting screw a few inches back from the end.
Is there a baffle I'm missing? (other than the optional 'quiet baffle' V/H sell).

While I'm at it - V/H used to sell some fish tail caps for these pipes. Seem to be as rare as hens teeth now. Any ideas who might still have some in stock?

Yeah, they are really embarrassingly loud. I had them on my bike when I first bought it. The P.O. put them on, and managed to dispose of the stock system. I was working weekends at an Army Base, and the gate guards always gave me the evil eye when I came on base. I put a Cobra peace pipe on, and no more evil eye....Now I have a stock system...no cops watching me. I think it tells a story about noise when little kids plug their ears when they see you starting your bike...
  There has to be a way to quiet them down, but the mechanical baffles just keep cops from sticking a dowel up the pipe before they write you up.

I have the same pipes. Bought them brand new.
The only baffle in there looks like a 2 ft cheese grater and is "straight thru".
I thought they were to quiet and pulled them out. No complaints from the neighbors.

I also could not find those elusive fishtails and ended up going with the slash cut tips.
