If you are buying new, go for the new Big Gun 3's. They are cheaper then the BG2's, and have better heat shields. You can also pick them up on eBay cheaper then the dealer.

RE: samson pipes good or bad?
I have a set of Ripsaws (original big guns) they are o.k. Very Loud. I like them. Some people say that they can crack, Mine do what they are supposed to do.... direct hot exhaust gasses away from me, and are L.A.F. There are some better performing pipes out there for sure. But if you want to be heard from a few blocks away, then they are the pipes for you. If you do get the BG 2 make sure you get a set of torque cones if you do not get a set with baffles. Ripsaws and street sweepers do not come with baffles. I think the BG 3 come with baffles(all models). I got my set on Ebay REAL cheap.

RE: samson pipes good or bad?
I waited almost a year before I put pipes on. I could never get a good answer from my dealer about what was best. They were more concerned about the stage 1 download instead of helping find what I was looking for. I started to ask guys I would see on the road about the pipes they had and I found that vance and hines were very well liked. I ended up with vh big radius and the look and sound great. They also sell the fuel pack so the harley stage one download is not needed. Good luck.

I have the Samson II,Rip Saws. They come with no baffles. Power cones were added when they were installed. Bike runs perfect with them. They are loud. Quality, looks,fit and performance IMHO.
