Softail True duals
Softail True duals
I'm wanting to put on some true dual exhaust on my Heritage. I've been looking and was wanting to know which is better of the two? The Vance & Hines or the Samson softail true duals?

You will likely receive positive comments for both Vance and Hines and Samson. They are both excellent exhaust systems.
I chose Samson. There is a greater selection of choices with Samson. Black or chrome, diameter, end cap, length of pipes...
I have the Samson 28.5" true dual fishtails. Model S3-431. They look great and sound phenomenal.
It will likely come down to your preference. Good luck.

I am in the same boat and I think I made my decision. After reading and talking to guy's these past few months I am going with the Samson's. I am pretty sure it's going to be the straight 39" cholo's.

I've had both . I have a 2011 Deluxe & started out with the V&H true duals. They only come in the 28.5" length. Guys told me on the forum that I'm going to end up wanting the longer 1's & they were right. Now I have the Samson 33" longtails with baffles. The fishtails on the end are little bit different between the 2 companies & like the previous reply said Samson's come in different lengths. V&H only have the 28.5". They both sound nice. I only have pictures of the V&H on my bike. I have to take some pictures of the Samson's with Burly Beach bars I put on this winter.

I dont have either but I have many times found myself wanting some of these V&H...nice set if you aren't into the fishtails. I did have a set of V&H Big Radius and the sound was incredible, great quality product.

That is how the V&H duals come .. you have to order the fish tail bit separately. I'm thinking of replacing the fish tail ends with the straight caps - If I can find where I put them ...

I did notice that Samson gives you choices of lengths, which I do like, compared to the Vance & Hines.
