muffler inserts

Here is an interesting idea i'm contemplating. Has anyone ever seen these header/sidepipe style inserts used in a street car exhaust to quiet down a catback? It looks like these would slide into the tips on my magnaflow catback nicely and maybe shut it up a little. any thoughts?

That tube is 3.5" in diameter, so unless they make a smaller version, I'm not sure it's going to work.

The tips on the magnaflow are 3.5". They also make a 3" version.

Those inserts are somewhat like the ones made by Bassani for their exhausts. I use a set in my Lightning's Bassani exhaust 3 1/2 tips and after seeing that they would fit in my Magnaflow tips on the SS, I picked up another set of the Bassani inserts for the SS - definitely quieted the car down a lot.

I actually got some baffled tips for my TSP Rumbler catback. Worked nicely.

The Bassani inserts are only about 8" long and mount in with a retaining screw from the underside - had to drill another 1/4" hole in the Magnaflow tip about 1" back from the existing hole.
