Default samson true duals

got an 09 heritage. Saw and heard the samson true duals with the fish tails on a deluxe. Was thinking putting some on my heritage. Anyone had experience with the long term quality of Samson pipes?

Can't comment on the Samson's, but I am just about finished with the V&H True Dual install on my Fat Boy, and I love the look.

I went with the standard tips. I like the fish tails, but not on my bike, just not the look I am going for.

I have the Samson True duals. I bought them used but they have held up well. It's been a bit over a year and just like they were when I bought them. I alos perfer the looks of the Samson's over the v and h fishtails.

Very well said. V&H fishtails are hiddeous. Ive had my samsons headers for almost 4 years and the extensions Im using now for about 8 months. Bought the extensions used but have had no issues with either.
