I have to angle up my driveway with 33"s..

Zambo, just wondering if you did any mods to the Samson's, I just installed the sidewinders, was wondering if I pulled the baffles, how much power loss there would be.
Anyway Pipes/fishtails look awesome.

I was thinking about pulling the baffles until I fired up the bike before I put on the heat shield and realized that they are more than loud enough for me. They have a nice thick rumble.
If your dead set on taking yours out you might be able to get back some of the back pressure with some power cones...but then again I don't really know what I'm talking about. This is my first attempt at a mod besides changing to a round A/C cover.
I'm going to try and get a few more pics and maybe a sound bite this coming week. It has been raining for about a week straight around here.

Here are some better pics

The sound on this is pretty crappy. For whatever reason the mic on the camera chose to pick up the birds chirping in the trees over the rumble of the internal combustion engine right next to it...go figure

Dammit "Zam"...
I thought I had made up my mind on the duals I wanted.
They compliment your bike; real nice.
