Somewhere between cramming steel wool into one of the tail pipes and  
actually bolting something into/onto the exhaust, there must be a clever and  easily 
reversible trick I can employ...preferably without having to get under  the 
car...

Any great ideas out there?

TIA,
Jon

Hi Jon,
 
Haven't really followed this thread much, so don't know if this has been  
suggested.... but here is an old Harley chopper trick...
 
Take two steel bottle covers that are a smaller diameter than the twin  pipes 
to make temporary baffles.... drill a number of holes through the tops of  
the covers...  and then drill three pilot holes in the sides of the  cover (the 
side being the part that would normally screw onto the bottle) ....  drill 
slightly bigger holes to match in your twin pipes... use self tapping  screws 
through the exhaust pipes into the holes in the  cover/baffle..... 
 
We used to use baby food cans in the Harley,  worked great !!!  but they 
rattled like hell when we were going to the inspection  station.   
 
Just my 2 cents worth....
