Yoshimura header

Hey guys. I recently scored a 1975 era Yoshimura 4 into 1 header from a guy. I am in the process of cleaning them up and repainting them but I need (want) a baffle for it. Anybody know where I can get one to fit a 3" pipe like this? Anybody ever build one from scratch? Input please. This dude races Kaw drag bikes at the local dragstrip. He had old Kaw parts scattered all over the place! It is a sight to behold. thanks for any help, Tom

Here's the pictures (I hope) of the header. It is in pretty good shape. I stole it for $60. Hope it sounds good once it it installed. The opening at the business end is 3 inches. Need a baffle though. Any ideas?

The smaller one has a center tube that's 9 1/2 inch's long and 1 1/4 inch's thick with the inner plate 6 1/2 inch's in from the end plate. The bigger one has a center tube that's 12 inch's long and 1 1/2 thick and the inner plate is 7 1/4 inch's in from the end. Both inner tubes are louvered in ward one straight and the other in a spiral.
