What's the general thought on torque cones around here? 99 fxstc evo, I've had the cones in since 500 miles, white bros porker pipe, 1-13/4 to 2-1/4. I have an eyebolt in the end each pipe 3" or so in. Had base gasket replaced, the shop took out the cones, said they did nothing. I notice when I picked my sled up, there was no out of the hole torque, starting off no torque where it was for 96k miles. The shop said they have dyno and "proved" he makes more power withOUT them. Headin back to the shop today to pick them back up.
They may make more power near redline with them removed, but I'll bet that bike makes better torque below 3500 with them installed. Porker pipes were notorious for dips...

Because it looks and sounds cool!!Once Porkers were no longer available, Vance and Hines Longshots became quite popular.Ask me how I know...
The torque cones were probably doing their job, giving you some low end torque, now missing without them. Put them back in.

SE-57? Um... that's quite a bit of duration there amigo. Tell me that you've done your homework and have had the heads ported and compression increased. If not, then yes the torque cones are probably doing something alright. But if you've got stock heads/pistons, I think the most likely thing to get lots of off the line torque is put a cam in that works good with stock compression. Like an EV-13 & such.Just my opinion!-JW
