they scavenge alot better which basically increases flow, or is increasing flow. Just like an X pipe vs H Pipe, the X usually produces more power but their raspy as hell, where as H sounds good.
I dont think their necessary unless your running a pretty nasty setup.

Sorry I didn't reply more but I was walking out the door. I got them because I heard they flow better and give better gains over normal collectors. I'm not sure how much of a gain I would get over the normal collectors but I'll take what ever I can get
