Thanks for the info and link!

The DB's were a little quiet with the stock baffles so I put BCT QQ's in. Nice!

Joe, I decided to get the V&H true duals with fishtails. I got a great price at Motor City Performance Plus, out of Plymouth, MI. I found them on ebay, with the fishtails and free shipping I paid $734.40. Their phone number is 888-527-1390. Let them know that the exhaust are in ebay, part #16735, they fit 2007-10 Softails.

Congratulations! Great looking pipes! I particularly like the look of V&H's tru-dual design.

Please get back us after you've had them on a while. Would appreciate your opinions on sound, power, heat, etc.

I have the V&H Duals and the heat coming off of the left pipe is pretty intense. I am not sure if this is an issue w/ Sampson pipes. I really like the sound and performance gains with the V&H.

Great looking scoot! I will be installing a Thunderheader on my '00 Fatboy next month.

Thank you for the compliment! I think you'll love the Thunderheader. The pipe performs really well and sounds pretty darn good, too!

I might switch to true duals at some point or else buy a second bike ... time will tell. I truly believe that the loud pipes are safer as I drive every day in moderate traffic and do not have a problem of cars cutting me off or not knowing that I am next to them. Most drivers seem to back off and give me space.
Very nice bike.......same as mine! I love the bunnies in the background as well.

Smart choice.
