Default Samson Pipes?

Hi All!

I have a 2006 Road King CLassic and want a new set of pipes. I like the idea of true duals to clean up the motor a bit and even the heat out between right and left. I want the classic 1950's look for this bike so I was thinking about a set of Fish Tail tips. Looks like Samson makes them along with a true dual set.

Does anyone run Samsons? I would get the headers, pipes with tips and mufflers. How is the quality?

I also love the look of the Hard Krome set but a leary of their quality.

Any thoughts are appreciated!!!

THANKS!

Rob

Whew! I can assure you of at least one post that will dispute any quality issues with Hard Krome.

You may want to look at these V&H duals. They definitely have the aesthetics you are after. V&H generally has high quality.

May be just the ticket.....

I have a set of the Samson Big Gun 3s on my Dyna. Quality is great so far. I've had VH products before and I would say these are of equal, if not better quality. I heard some bad reports on earlier pipes from Samson, but it seems like they've improved a lot since then.
