A gas generating system ( 10 ) is provided including a housing ( 12 ) with a longitudinal axis (A), and a first baffle tube ( 22 a) positioned within the housing ( 12 ) and having a pair of opposed ends. A second baffle tube ( 24 a) is also positioned within the housing ( 12 ) and has a pair of opposed ends. A first pair of opposed surfaces ( 59 a, 60 a) is formed within the housing ( 12 ). Each of the first pair of opposed surfaces ( 59 a, 60 a) is sloped with respect to the longitudinal axis (A) and abuts a corresponding end of the first baffle tube ( 22 a) to position the first baffle tube ( 22 a) within the housing ( 12 ) such that a longitudinal axis of the first baffle tube ( 22 a) is substantially coaxial with the longitudinal axis (A) of the housing ( 12 ). Each of the first pair of opposed surfaces ( 59 a, 60 a) also abuts a corresponding end of the second baffle tube ( 24 a) to position the second baffle tube ( 24 a) within the housing ( 12 ) such that a longitudinal axis of the second baffle tube ( 24 a) is substantially coaxial with the longitudinal axis (A) of the housing ( 12 ). A vehicle occupant protection system ( 180 ) including the gas generating system ( 10 ) is also disclosed.
