Default Samson or Vance & Hines

Hey guys I need some advise, should I buy the Samson dual fishtails or the V & H big shots long. I own a 07 deluxe I like them both butI need somefeedback from fellow members who own these pipes.

Thanks.

I like how the V&H duals with fishtails look better than the Samson's, but, I suppose that's a matter of personal preference. Most of the comments I have heard lean toward the V&H pipes being of higher quality than the Samsons also. YMMV

There is a thread that I read not too long ago that was about Samson pipes cracking at all the welds, that was more than enough for me to never buy them. Here is the thread https://www.hdforums.com/m_2565978/tm.htm

Fit and finish of the V&H is excellent. Quiet baffles will give you a deeper sound than the stock baffles.

Had Samson Big Gun Shorties on my '04 Sportster and V&H Big Shot Longs on my '08 Deluxe. I had no problems with the Samsons, but I love the V&H. I agree that the fit and finish on the V&H product is excellent. Good luck with your decision !!!

vance and hines true duels with fishtails. i also heard about the sampson pipes cracking at the welds. I truley belive that vance and hines makes a better product. You see a lot of the sampson fishtails duels around because they were around for a couple of years before vance and hines came out with there's I would bet there sales have gone down considerly after the vance and hines true duels came out
