Gas generating system

aaa, aa, aaaaa, aaaaA gas generating system is provided including a housing with a longitudinal axis (A), and a first baffle tube positioned within the housing and having a pair of opposed ends. A second baffle tube is also positioned within the housing and has a pair of opposed ends. A first pair of opposed surfaces is formed within the housing. Each of the first pair of opposed surfaces is sloped with respect to the longitudinal axis (A) and abuts a corresponding end of the first baffle tube to position the first baffle tube within the housing such that a longitudinal axis of the first baffle tube is substantially coaxial with the longitudinal axis (A) of the housing. Each of the first pair of opposed surfaces also abuts a corresponding end of the second baffle tube to position the second baffle tube within the housing such that a longitudinal axis of the second baffle tube is substantially coaxial with the longitudinal axis (A) of the housing. A vehicle occupant protection system including the gas generating system is also disclosed.
