Samsons have better looking fish tail ends but the V&H pipe looks 100% better going over the primary on the left side. I think the V&H pipes, themselves look larger diameter too, but don't sit as low as the Samsons...

Damn...

We have them in all configurations for your 2006 Deluxe. Chrome or black ceramic.
Thanks,

Another option is Python a secondary brand made by V&H. They're longer and have a different fish tail than the V&H. I kept my stock length V&H duals and added the Python fishtails to mine.

I have always been a Samson guy. A buddy had the V&H true duals with the fishtail tips (which is not the look I think of when I think of fishtails) and ended up getting Samson's after spending time with me.

I looked at Samson's web site...good grief they're expensive! No wonder I still have my stock pipes on.
