Default Springer Fishtail

Hello everyone,

To loud or not to loud?

Nice sound or bad sound?

Good performance or bad...



Thank you for all reply...

Hi there, I'm running Samson fishtails on my springer and the mufflers don't have any problems with coloring. It sounds good but because of the fishtails it is definitely a different sound than with standard round exhausts. I think it's about in the middle for noise but does get louder and very definite on the sound when under heavy acceleration.
I also think they look good on the springer. Kind of matches up with the frontend.

Hello,
Were in "Portugal" is impossible to test or even to hear this type of exhausts (Samson) ... Small country
My other option is Kerker Exhaust but I prefer the Samson "look"...

Cheers
