i didn't notice a difference other then making the engine bay look better, but i also did a ported housing and wastegate at the same time so its hard to tell what did or did not do anything

IMHO... And sorry...

They are worthless. They are the same size as the stock piece, just flashy.

If they were of some different shape or size you might see some room for improvement but not by just making them shiny.
