I've seen these and have wondered about how "good" they are, whatever that means. I guess I'd be worried about the potential for resonance it might have.
Hi,

I hear you, that could be a concern. Of course they differ from the XLF optional Sport Exhaust System in that they're passive - ON all the time.

Whereas the Sport Exhaust System is dynamic and speed-controlled, so you'd likely be above any resonant frequency when they kicked-in.

Since the XLF uses a separate wiring harness, controller, vacuum reservoir(s), associated plumbing, and possibly some DME re-coding, I don't know if it's readily retrofittable. But, one thing's for sure - it wouldn't be cheap...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
