Torque Loops Question

[taxfree4]

Someone answered my question on another forum. James, owner of Torq Loops, said they will not function as designed with stock exhaust. So that’s that.

How were they designed, to do what purpose? If it wasn't to eliminate the drone - they do, if it wasn't to eliminate the cats - they do whether you have stock exhaust or after market. If these weren't the intent of the build then what was?

True. They work great for what ever your intent.
A little pricey though.
ID say I got a 5% or more, boost in power, and it is noticeable.
They worked for my intent.

I'm surprised the Chinese haven't jumped on this, it would probably be half the price with COLOR instructions.

I have them with my cobra 626 exhaust. IMO, I think they were designed to add a slight backpressure to some of the aftermarket exhaust systems, but the stock exhaust already has restrictions so if you add loopz, it might have negative results.

Do you mean for a louder exhaust note?

There are no negative results. These are on literally thousands of bikes (about half with stock exhaust). They have been made since 2002.
Everyone we have ever talked to has been extremely happy. They will eliminate the droan. You will notice the difference in throttle response even though there is only about 5% increase in torque and HP. The sound is tremendously better when using after market exhaust.
