Default Road king fishtails

I want to put these ebay fishtails on my road king. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=400289030970
Anyone have experience with installing these and what else do i need to do to keep my king reliable? They seem to be too cheap to be all i need.
Thanks im new to this harley thing

Think these baffles might help back pressure and the neighbors ears?

It looks like it says SORGY on the picture. Not familiar with. They are cheap...real cheap!
You shouldn't need anything else to make them work. You might try them before you buy baffles, as I've never heard a really loud set of fishtails. Sampson offers baffled and non baffled for quite a hefty sum more than these are being offered for. Sampson does have a reputation for quality. Have a look at these: http://www.samsonusa.com/M-166.html
And browse through the rest of their offerings as well: http://www.samsonusa.com/Exhaust/Leg...2010-2012.html
The big money tubes come as true duals.
Hope this helps! (-:

I had a set of Samson baffled fishtails on an '04 RK, liked the look, but not the sound, too "raspy" for me, no throatiness!!!
