Torque Cones
Can anyone tell me if torque cones actually work? I just ordered true dual headers for my bike and I was considering torque cones to help gain back that bottom end torque loss associated with true dual headers.

RE: Torque Cones
They help if you have a hoplessly mis-matched exhaust system and engine combo.
I used some last year on my HQ 95 in. that I put a Rinehart 2 to 1 on.
It helped bring back most of the lowend torque, but they hurt the over all power and trapped alot of heat in the cylinder heads.
best to just buy a system that works right off.
Ive owned 2 that work well, D&D fatcat, and a Thunderheader.

As Mentor said they have to trap heat. I would think by building pressure at this point.
I bet if you just had to do something, putting is some of those baffles at the end of the pipe would be better.

RE: Torque Cones
Yep, you will accomplish the same if you just shove-em up your butt....if they were the hot ticket you would see pipe manufacturers using them as inserts on their systems.
There is nothing wrong with true duals that a good 2 into 1 system wont take care of

RE: Torque Cones
The only time I saw them work good is on a 2" set of drag pipes with a big cam on a stock motor as said before a hopelessly mismatched system. They help with Reversion which if you have matched things properly won't be helped by cones. In my opinion a waste of money.
