Default Question on Pipes

I tried a search to find any discussion I could but had no luck. I recently put Vance & Hines true duals on my 06 deluxe. Sound great but I'm not a fan of the fishtail that VH puts out. Can I put the Samson mufflers withthe fishtails on my VH headers? Thats my question--might be a strange one but I'm curious. Thanks for the help.

I wish I could help you with the switchover to the Samson's but V&H have a different mounting than Samson does. You could try it but I don't think it would work. You would also need our mounting brackets.
Thank you,
JR

For what its worth. I just put a pair of Samson Fishtail slipons on my bike. They worked fine with the V&H dresser Duals for Touring bikes.

The touring mounts are located under the saddlebags, right? Which probably makes it easier to mount another manufacturers mufflers to the headers. I too am curious about adding the samson's fishtails. Would they mirror up to the V&H headers?

We at Samson have had many people ask this question and since we all make mufflers to replace the OE mufflers they will fit and mount under the bags at the stock mounting location.
Thank you,
JR

My original thoughts were for the mufflers to be mounted on a Softail. My mistake and i apologize.
Thank you,
JR

No apologies needed JR. I wasn't saying you were wrong just reporting on using your pipes on a touring bike.

By the way, love the pipes!

Anything is possible, if your willing to give it the effort. Give it a try, and hopefully it will be a dead-on fit! Good luck!
