Complaints???
I know it's like beating a dead horse, but I have to ask. I have searched the forums with little luck. I want Samson true duals with the 36" slach cut mufflers. BUT I have heard from 3 different Harley dealers that Samson exhaust is bad. The only complaint I have read is about the O2 ports and how they are in the way. Any help as to guidance would be greatly appreciated!!!

I know they won't perform like most other exhaust systems, but I am not too concerned with that. I am not in it for the performance. I have Vance and Hines big shots on it now, but every softail I see around me has them and I hate it. They are great pipes and they are loud, but I want my bike to be different. Thanks for the actual help!!!

I say, if you like the Samsons go for it. You'll be very happy. Screw the dealers or what anyone else says.

I appreciate the honesty! That is what I am going with, but just wanted some solid answers from actual owners. I have read several threads and posts about the positives but the dealers just started to get to me after a bit. One of them was a mechanic at Buffalo Choppers and will sell anything for the money. I just didn't want to make a bad decision and be out the money. My dad has had Samson rolled thunder slip-ons on his bike since 2001 when he bought it new. He still has it and sounds great! You are all right, screw the dealer and their comments. I still have to buy them from the dealer though because I have a 20% off coupon. I am ordering them this weekend.
Again. I appreciate the replies and I know these pipes have been talked about a lot, but I needed solid answers of my own after searching for negatives.
