I tried them they really quiet them down ,but pipes turned blue almost instantly and I would suggest using a tuner while using them.I just use the quiet baffle from V&H which are not really quiet but tone them to a deeper rumble.My hard core are sitting on a shelf in the garage

Thanks for the reply. I really don't want to ruin the shields. Maybe i'll just try the Quiet baffles first.

I am running them in these pipes with no heat shields...no blueing at all...the baffles themselves are not the reason your pipes turned blue.

I have the Power Vision with Auto tune so a retune after adding the Hard Kores would not be that big of a deal.
