No extenders, the S-233's are just the mufflers: http://www.samsonusa.com/products/sf.../productID/416

S2-433 is the whole exhaust, including headpipes, with 28.5" mufflers.

I voted for the 26 in until I saw JayDee's sick scoot. Change my vote to 33 or 36 inchers.

Anyway, let me know what you think. Here is a pic of my bike now with the 26"'s and another bike with the 36"'s. Vote up people.

26"'s



36" fishies
I personally like them both, but for practical purposes I would choose the 26"s the longer
ones would for sure get beat up on the curb and when turning. I would get the 36"'s for
when I would just want to show park or take it for a short cruise.
I currently have the V & H longshots with slashed tips and I am always worried about
hitting the curb when I park. I am also wanting the tru-dual fishtails and am leaning
toward the V & H 's.
