What are you hoping to gain from them? A friend put a set in his cobra drag's and it helped his bottom end noticeably. Also calmed down the raspy metal sound.

Same here. Have them on cycle shacks with the SE heavy breather.

I've got them in my short shots and it made a huge difference in the low end where drag pipes cause losses

Are you running them in your short shots without any baffles then?

I have them on my V&H Straight Shot slip-ons and it helped drastically reduce the dead spot at around 2k. It's a cheap mod that's well worth the price.
