Default Samson Cholos vs. Freedom Performance

Any body knows how the Freedom exhausts' quality/sound compared to the Samson ?? I need to get the 36". Samson does not offer them thru Custom Chrome so the alternative would be the Freedom performance!!

Any input would be appreciated.

Have you had a look at the new Bassini Hutch Special true duals with fishtail pipes? you can check them out on youtube too. I have a set on order, they look and sound amazing.

IMO the Samson's were just a bit too loud for me.

I have heard that Freedoms lack of heatshield causes the pipes to discolor.... Do they still do that?

Anyone purchased Freedoms fishtails lately?
