Default '83 550 LTD baffles

Just picked up the above bike. It's kinda loud. It looks like the original exhaust is still on it. I was wondering if maybe the previous owner removed the baffles? How can I tell? There is a plate on the outlet that has 3 screws. Are the baffles located behind it & what do they look like?

That plate is the end of the baffle. If you take that out the baffle is a tube on the other side of it with holes in it and another plate on the other end. It's all one piece.

Check around the area of the crossover pipe just in front of the mufflers. They tend to rot out there and get noisy. You can't see it unless you remove the covers which shield the crossover connections on both sides.
