Default Exhaust baffle - useful or not

I have a question regarding the exhaust baffle that were sold by speedway motors. As far as I understood this should divide the exhaust gases of the two center cylinders. Is this item worth to buy it and is it useful?

The other issue is that the one they sell isn't that great of a fit, the shape is really not that great and it is hard to actually keep them situated where they belong (using their stud attachment method only).

I would not waste my time with it unless you're building a full-bore Bonneville engine and then you should make your own and attach it differently!

Yes, the Speedway dividers are not made right and do not fit. They are also drilled wrong for the stud to anchor them.
