i've been using them on my '02 fxst with vance & hines straight shots & no baffles.
originally i left the baffles in & no power cones. then i removed the baffles. after removing the baffles it felt like torque decreased.
dropped the power cones in & torque felt better.
keep in mind this is all "butt dyno" testing.
i think they work well where there's low back pressure.

I had power cones in my Samson,Rip Saws and they worked great.
2-1/4" is too big for drag pipes. My Rip Saws were 1-3/4" OD and I have the 103" engine. 2-1/4" should be setup for baffles. I think you are going to lose a lot of low end power running that big a diameter pipes without baffles.
