Default Sampson duals33

I like the look of the Sampson true duals 33 but I've heard some bad things lately on quality of there product.
Vance and Hines look good but I want the pipe to go past the rear fender an inch or so..
Any other that you guys recommend?
Btw I'm not into loud pipes, louder then stock of course 😉

Not at all they sound great. They are slightly quieter than the big shot longs that they replaced. Ialso like that there is no problem with clearance on the shif linkage and the left pipe follows the contour of the primary case nicer than others.

Just wait on the Samsons. They are worth it.

We haven't been experiencing any quality issues but as someone said we are backordered like crazy. Very shortly though we will have everything and be caught up.

Very clean bike Ghostrider69, that set of true duals looks great on it.

One thing is if anyone ever wants any true dual setup in Black Ceramic regardless of the length of the mufflers I can usually have them done and shipped the next day since we do all the ceramic in house now because the quality is top notch.

Thank you,
Brian

Brian (not to hijack this thread)... I am going to be ordering the 36" system real soon for my '12 Deluxe. I have a couple questions for you though. Would it be better to send you a pm? If so, I already have done it.

I would wait for the Samsons, I have them and love them, no complaints whatsoever. That being said, if waiting is not an option I would go with the Bassani's (available in 33" and 36"). We use a lot of Bassani stuff at our shop and their quality and build is second to none.
