Default Thunder Torque inserts

Has anyone installed the Thunder Torque inserts on their stock 2017 RGS 107?
If so, were you happy with the results? Did you leave the baffles in?
I'm not sure if this is a new thread or not, just wondering...
Thanks

The stock cans are quite restrictive to start with.The TTI's usually get a little low end back from aftermarket mufflers or systems. A well designed combination doesn't need them though that's the kicker here.

Thanks, I wasn't going to change my exhaust, just add the TTI's and see if there was any sort of improvement...

I wouldn’t do it. I tried them a few years back on my 2014 SGS with a Stage 1 thinking it would help my torque numbers. When I got the bike dyno’d, the tech ended up removing them because they were actually hurting my numbers. Never looked back.

Agree they are mostly for short straight exhaust without any other baffles.

I think they helped when I installed them in my DNT's. They actually improved the sound of the DNT's, so that was a plus. But, no, I wouldn't install them in stock mufflers.
