Default Torque cones

Has anyone here used torque cones with stock pipes? Are they any improvement like they claim?

I believe that most people who use torque cones are running open drag pipes, ie no baffles.
I'm not sure if they would help on a stock system.

I tried them on a Sporty I had awhile ago, made it a giant pain in the *** to put the pipes back on, and didn't do a damn thing that I could recall.

I put them on my sportster when I took the baffles out. Like ryanek said made it a pain to get the exhaust back on and I couldn't notice a difference

Agreed. They are for open drag pipes, not baffled systems. They are reversion cones and won't do diddley in a stock system with mufflers. In fact, in a stock system they might even hinder performance.
