Thanks iclick. Great info. Ya'll making it hard on me.
Performance: They guarantee them to be the best-performing slip-on available and based on charts I've seen I believe it. The asymmetrical design with different baffling in each muffler makes a noticeable difference, a design that was created from much dyno testing.
Looks: Subjective, but IMO they have a high-quality look, especially with the optional tips.
Sound: Nice, deep, throaty without being too loud. Different baffle options are available to reduce or increase the DB level to your taste. There's a hint of a 2-into-1 tone to them since the left side is more restricted, forcing most exhaust to the right. Most people like the sound.
BTW, the old-style Jackpots had two types available, classic and dyno-tuned. The classics had standard symmetrical baffles while the dyno-tuned variety are as described above. The new-style Jackpots come only in the Dyno-Tuned configuration, I think, and although the left baffle is not changeable the right can be configured for four levels of sound volume. The standard baffle comes with the mufflers with quiet (two levels) and competition baffles available optionally.

One year and 17,000 miles on power package with the dyno tuned jackpots. They have held up well, still look new. I still like the sound very much. Most get louder over time. I haven't noticed that. The bike really seems to run better over time.
Quick correction: When I said most get louder over time I did not mean Jackpot I meant the other exaust systems I have owned.

Later on I bought the old-style Jackpot mufflers and now have the new style. The new-style come with a steel packing material standard, but the quiet baffles I bought later have the Silent Sport. I assume the SS type muffles a bit better.
