HI. yes I have them installed. I installed in November and have ridden about a 1000 miles since.
The install was easy, I ended up using new stock exhaust graphite crush gaskets.
I initially purchased the slim copper ring type but decided not to use them casue the Harley one are better to seal and are not prone to leak. The HD parts guys said that the skinny copper have a tendency to leak.
I pulled both exhasut brackets off and had trouble with the front one having limited acess to uncrew so I used a small file and filed flats, enought to use an open end wrench and remove them.
The pipe set went on OK and used new longer heavier duty nuts.
The sound is good, not as noisy as the Rush slip-ons I had.
The rush were 1.75 baffells and the Samson is 2.0 but single.
Prefomance wise I do notice the extra zip.
I have the Cobra autotune so making the adjustmnet was a breeze.
I would recomend them.
