I am getting 36"'s myself as I ride a lot of canyons and I am sure even they will scrape a lot.

Samson does have different exhaust tips for the crossover which are not fishtails. Since we set a trend 4 years ago with the 39" Cholo's it was just a matter of time for someone to make their own longer tips. we now have straight cut tips and angle cut as well. Don't sell us short, we are ahead of the curve on style and it shows with over 577 different part numbers, so far. we continue to R&D pipes all year. the best way to find out what is new is to continue to check our website in the whats new area. most other exhaust manufacturers don't even come close to the variety we offer. we will not be making 48" extensions but they must be cool.
thank you,

Yes, I'll put them on. I already know they are going to look insane and sound insane. The main question is looks vs. performance. I don't even want to think about this right now. I'm going on vacation in the morning. 1000 mile weekend! WooHoo!
Anyone who knows me knows I can't just leave things as they are. Maybe find a way to put the fatcat on the sportster. Hmmmm....
Machine a/c and some new 13.5" progressive shocks. All it needs now is some power for serious canyon carving.

I've had it with Samson! I'm seriously thinking about filing suit, filing a complaint with the AG's office.
I'm also thinking about designing and building my own style cholo's.
Move over Samson, it's time for you to go!

I'd say send Samson some photos - or maybe even send the system back for either a refund or for a replacement set. Seems like this issue has been plaguing you for a while, so I can't imagine why they wouldn't be willing to work with you (they treated me excellent).

What will be the basis of your lawsuit? You received parts that weren't to your liking? Call the AG's office. They can probably use a bit of levity.
It isn't necessary to dredge up every Samson thread and post your dissatisfaction. It makes you look childish. You've made your point.

How are they new and different and how do they make them so that they will sit lower? As for scraping? I'm going out west this summer on a 4 state ride ending up at Sturgis. I will be doing allot of canyon carving and as an old timer once told me long ago, if you ain't scrapping you ain't riding it right? My tips are razor sharp from scrapping but that's just how I roll.
