V&H if you want them to last. Quality Control at Samson has gone south.
Totally agree. Have had 1 set of Samsons ever. They didn't last a year before one of the baffles broke lose and rattled like hell until I removed it. Have had V&H on 3 different bikes and never had any quality issues.

I'd have to say +1 on the V&H.

Had the dealer install SE slip ons on my Ultra. It sounds real mean, I would get these again. Stick to factory parts if they work, right?

I've had both but on to different style of bikes so the queston is which one sounds the best to you. That's what you spend your money on.

30K on my Samsons and never a problem. I would have to go back with the Samsons. At least with an EVO.
