RE: samson pipes good or bad?

I had sampsons on my last bike..they did the job ok.. but overall didnt impress me. And will not buy them anymore. I just feel my money would be better spent elswhere. I had the street sweepers and they gave you a whole new dimension of loud...loud is good but they were'nt for me. I ended up putting the street sweepers on a chop saw, chopped the turnout ends off even and stuffed some Sampson baffles in them hoping to get a better sound..helped a little but not enough to change my opinion.

I've hadSamson pipes on my bike since 2000, with almost 40k on em with no issues. Heat shields are fine, I run baffles with about 1/2 the glass in em sounds great.

They are loud, but not obnoxiously so. All of my buddies have complimented me on their deep, throaty, and not TOO loud sound. These pipes DO have baffles, so they're not anything as loud as drag pipes and have a much nicer tone.

I have 30 fishtails with baffles. Not too loud, just perfect!

Also, if you are want true duals, I do believe V&H will NOT work with passenger footboards ... Samson's do.

Wrong! They do work and look great!
