Baffling is whats in a normal non straight through muffler and creates lil chambers for the exhaust to go through. It's to reduce the noise.

You talking about the resonator? Usually all cat backs come with a resonator on the mid pipe to reduce noise, without it the car is extremely loud.

So thats all they look for and you're good?

Its actual walls within the muffler to reduce the dB level of the exhaust.

cop looks into Cobb CBE
Cop:"This has no baffles!!!"
Us:"Um, what's a baffle?"
Cop:"It's the part that makes it legal!!!!"
true story
