Torque cones,,

What are they, what do they do,,

They help restore some of the low end performance that is lost when people put straight pipes on their bikes.

If you're running mufflers or baffles, cones won't help you.

The graph itself shows that they basically don't work, certainly not enough to feel on the road.

Question, I only have SE slip-ons. I removed the baffles altogether, would I benefit any from torque cones?

Maybe - maybe not. You'd benefit more from putting them back in.

with bikes in general a slight change will alter how the bike runs. even more so with efi models. Torque cones restrict exhaust flow. There is no adjustment to them, therefore to get the fuel gas and exhaust mixture would be hard to adjust.
