Torque cones go in the wrong end of the pipe to do any good. A shorty baffle or even lollipop baffle is a better choice.

I would look at cones as a no go in my bike.
only know of one rider who used them on his evo because he wanted looouud. No baffles. they seem ok but I would think they restrict the exh port and hurt perf.
