Default Softail Pipes Help
Hey I need some help identifying a set of pipes I received with the purchase of my bike. I have looked them over and they have no visible brand marking that I see and I have searched the net and my catalogs for them but cant seem to find them. I was hoping someone on here would be able to identify them, They are really nice and shine beautifully but id really like to know what they are.

Quite possible they were custom made?
One of the guys I work with, works a second job for a guy that makes custom exhaust for just about anything you could think of.

Not sure but they sweep up so the exhaust is up high, probably with cholo's. They look like just the header part.

Hi,
These pipes are some older Samson Big Gun 2 1/4" diameter pipes. They have the heat shields attached which is how I can identify them. Samson did not always stamp the brand name on in the past for cosmetic reasons but these are clearly Samson pipes.
Thank you,
JR
