Default Fast fishtail help

Hey everyone,
I am torn between 2 pipes 33" long non baffled vs baffled. I can get baffled for 740 to my door and the none baffled at full retail 809.00 is it worth the extra 70 bucks to get none baffled let me know asap i am about to order thanks. I was also wanting to know what lenght to go with 33 or 36 what is the most popular out there thanks everyone for the help!!!

Welcome, you will get more action if you can give a little detail.

What Bike? What Pipes?

I have the 28.5" baffled and have bigtime regrets. I wish I did the nonbaffled 33's. Samson talked me into the baffled. They said FI bikes need the backpressure. Not as loud as I like. You could always add BCT baffles if you change your mind. Can't remove the stock baffles though. If you're stuck btwn 2 lengths, go for the longer. You can also study pics from the other Gangsta bikes on here. Let us know if you need help on the install. I'd like to know what you decide and post pics when done! Good Luck

I agree with the above post. If you don't like the non baffled add some baffles. I had the non baffled for a while and loved them. I got bored of them and got something different now, but they are great pipes. If you want discounted pricing on shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do.

I say get the 33" they are the perfect length. Also i would go with baffles for backpressure. There is a reason why even Samson recommends baffles for FI bikes. Mine have baffles and they are plenty loud. Only regret i have is i wanted 33" w/baffles but they were not out yet. Good Luck.

By the way i only paid $540.00 shipped through ACM for my Samsons...so $700.00 ++ seems really pricey. You may want to shop around.
