I will agree with everyone to a point.

They do change the sound, sometimes you can notice it, sometimes you can't. Increasing the power is sort of correct, what they actually do is increase the torque and change the range of available torque.

The reason they are called extractors is because the tuned length ones actually have a scavenging effect on the exhaust gas that is inside the combustion chamber, hence the term extractor, they extract more gas from the heads.

on my vn it didnt make the car louder (apart from the whooshing sound around the extractor area) but id did make it sound meatier. At that point i had a vn s1,with genie extravtors, a thick 2.5 inch exhaust, powerchip and a pod.

Sound changes to some extent. I wouldnt say they dont make a diffence in sound. If people say this then their hearing aids need to be turned up a few notches.
