Anyway to quiet Cobra pipes a bit?

 I bought a 2004 Kawasaki Vulcan Mean Streak 1600 a few weeks ago (first bike
I've been on in 28 years!). She's a very nice (and powerful) bike with the
Cobra pipes, Cobra Fuel Injection tuner, and a ram air K&N intake filter
(even has working butterfly valves!). Anyway, the bike is great except the
exhaust is plain OFFENSIVE! Now I like a strong roar of power, but this bike
can't be ridden quiet in any manner.

Everything appears to be intact and installed tight. The Cobra pipes appear
to be very high-quality. Does anyone have any ideas for quieting it down a
bit?

I am about ready to buy a stock set of pipes for the bike and put them on.
It is really THAT loud (and it is a nasty, not a sweet loud).

Thanks

If you bought from an individual, contact him first and see if he has to
stock pipes still OR if he has the paper work or baffles that came with the
Cobra pipes.

Second, contact Cobra.  They often have baffles available separately.  Get
the quietest ones they have; it is easier to "tune" them for more sound than
going the other way.

And lastly, contact a local Kaw dealer.  If they don't want to mess with
you, contact an independent Harley mechanic in the area.  He SURELY will
have experience dealing with loud pipes.
