Default Thunder Torque Inserts

Anyone have/tried these? What are your thoughts. Do they affect how loud your bike sounds? Thanks.

I've been running them on my SEII's for several years now. They sound better and deeper than the SE baffles and the bike runs better.
Of course how much they affect the sound level of the bike, but depends how quiet or loud it was to begin with.

Damn, I haven't seen them in almost 20 years! Doubt it's the same brand but used to run these back in my shovel/carb/straight pipe days. They used to adjust them right n the dyno when tuning. Worked great back then.

I have a set of the larger ones that I literally just took off if your interested. Yes they make a difference on certain pipes. I cored out the stock cans on my breakout and put them in. Lemme know if you want them, they are about 3 months old. I just put on a dd bobcat so I dont need them anymore

Nice sound at idle, loud when you get on them and a quiet cruise is my experience. Seem to have better power at all throttle inputs. But that's from the "butt dyno."

Sent you a pm. I'll check in the morning if they are the ones you need. Do you have the stock cans on there or is it aftermarket
