So a quick fix is to bolt baffles or restrictors inside the pipe to create back pressure. Some guys drill a hole into their pipes, thread a bolt through and weld a large washer to the bolt end which they can turn to adjust the amount of back pressure just by turning the bolt and changing the angle of the washer. Maybe you can rig something similar in your pipe to create needed back pressure.
