Baffle for the Hotbodies Growler Slip on??

Despite my suggestion to the contray, my wife installed a Hotbodies Growler slipon, on her 09 250r. With the shimming of the carb needle, it did improve top end and mid range performance. HOWEVER, it is LOUD, can I say LOUD!

Does anyone have a link to a source for a baffle to fit this which might dampen the noise a little bit?

Let me add one more thing, the Growler is LOUD!! After riding with her for 600 miles this weekend down to NC and TN, my ears are still ringing.

Don't tell me to have her put the stock back on, she does like the performance and she is a "bit" hard headed when it comes to her bikes...

if nothing else, wear earplugs, even with a stock exhaust.

Oh yea, already doing that! Following her on Deals Gap was an experience. We went to I of M this summer, her Growler seems as loud as those race bikes.
