Default Street Glide with CFRs with / without torque cones

Just want to hear some opinions of this. I am adding some CFR slip ons to my SE Street Glide and hear that they are really open. What do you guys think of adding torque cones? Do it? Dont do it?

Leave them open. I sure would love to hear a sound clip after install. If possible.

Leave'em open. Very famliar with the deep roar of the CFR's as they started out for V-Rods. Buddy here in NC has them on his glide. Best sounding bike i have ever heard. There is not a head that doesn't turn when that bike comes in. CFR's of course are just slip-ons and he said he had to replace the headers as well to get the great tone he has. He said it just didn't sound as good with the stock headers.

Been there and done that. The Cones make your bike sound "tinny".
Big City Thunder baffles will make help your bike make low end TQ and will give you a lower end "rumble" sound until you get on it.

They are mounted in your tail pipe(s) and work with your exhaust where as the cones try to restrict your flow right at the head.
Not good.

I may be wrong here but cfr's are very open and can get pretty loud on their own,if you install big city baffles instead of hearing you from a mile away they'll hear you from 5 miles.Now they do have the baffles that install at the head instead of the actuall tail pipe,no experience there though.
