Default True dual length?
Looking at getting some duals and need some pics or basics on the length and how or where to measure from.

I'm looking a Samson 30" slash cuts. Their site doesn't really have a straight would like to see how far back they really are.

Also anyone know if Samson fishtails are removable to make straight cut or be able to add slash cut tips?

Thanks

30" mufflers will come just about to the edge of the rear fender.

Thanks everyone.

The length doesn't include the fish tale right, and where does the measurement start?

Drew I'll be in touch in a few weeks or months. Trying to wait for christmas bonus

Can I get quiet baffles in them

I don't think Samson offers quiet baffles. I will check it out for you. The length is the entire length of the muffler. So it will be 30" inlcuding where it connects to the header and to the very back. Since you are not asking about fishtails don;t worry about them, but a 33" fishtail does include the fishtail in the length.

Ok drew maybe you would know this then,

How loud are baffled duals compared to the V&H short shots with standard baffles I have now. I'd like them deep but not too loud, louder than stock quieter than short shots

With that description you better get baffles.
