Broken Baffle in Flowmaster?

What would be the signs of a broken baffle in a flowmaster? I have some irregular sputtering in a motor with dual exhaust and flowmasters on it. There is some rattling sound in the pipe. THanks.

Sounds like you got a broken baffel. When mine went, it got relocated and was clogging the exhaust flow.
Time for new mufflers.

I thought I had a boken baffle in one of my flows so I went back to the muffler shop and they told me a broken baffle makes a more of a buzzing sound then a rattle, I still think it's broken though.

Tehy can make all kinds of noises. I cut mine open and bigger than chit, the baffle was flopping around in there.
It made no buzz, and only rattled when you shook it in your hands.
