They should flow pretty decent since they have a true 3" core. I think two medium 'sticks would sound great.

The longs will be a bit quieter/deeper. The shorts will sound good but will be louder. I think the mediums are the best of both worlds, they will have a nice mellow rumble at idle and part throttle but will still scream when going wide open. I put a short one in place of the resonator in my Loudmouth and is still pretty raspy. I wish I would have gone medium.
