Default So anyone running these?

I would love some feedback from anyone running the Thunder Torque Inserts from DK Customs? I am considering getting them for my Vance and Hines Long Shots.

I ordered a set for my Longshots. Sposed to be here today but.... Will post results hopefully tomorrow. I was unsure myself, but I've wasted more $$ on stuff that wouldn't fit or didn't work, so what the hell. If I don't like em, I'll look around for some quiet baffles or something else. The Andrews cams really gave my exhaust harsh sound. These inserts are a modified version of the "lollypop".

You can check out the dyno charts on our site for them.

We get positive feedback everyday of people that are running them.

Here is a link to one guys feedback that he posted here on HDForums-

The Thunder Torque inserts FINALLY arrived this afternoon. Just got back from first ride. All I can say about them is by the butt dyno, they made an immediate improvement in performance and ride-ability. Mounted them in the hole farthest from the end of the pipe so I can get my tips back on. Throttle response is much improved as well as low end grunt. The exhaust note mellowed out. It's still loud enough for me on acceleration, without being harsh, cruise is a little more quiet, and the down-rev cackle is now more of a subtle rumble with a whooshing sound I'm not sure I like or not. Idles like a Harley. So far I'm pretty impressed. If you're after seat of the pants feel, I'd say give em a try. I got the 158W style.
