Default New Samson's on my Slim

Finally my parts are starting to be released by Customs and the first was my Samson exhaust.

I only got to put it on Friday but after two hundred miles today I am pretty impressed. The Power Vision is due out of customs this week and the Big Sucker will go on when as well so hopefully by the end of the week she should be going alright.

Shotgun Shocks are sitting here (I swear it looks like a 4x4 right now...) as well and I will do that when I change the wheels out in a couple of weeks once I wait the obligatory couple of weeks for customs to work out how much they want to rip me off....

But back on topic I wanted something different to V&H and really happy with my choice.

The satin black of the pipes are a nice contrast to the gloss black. They are Samsons so I already know they sound good. Excellent choice.

Looks like your pipes sit below your frame, so I'd watch how low you go with the SS.

Nice pipes. Seems like they need something though. I don't know what.

Do you know why your market has to have the football AC?

Yeah they sit parallel to the frame but it is something I will have to keep an eye on.

I stuck with the plain satin black as I want it to not distract from the wheels going on. In the pictures I saw online I thought they looked plain but in real life they look the goods.

Ya, sometimes things don't translate well in a photo.

Nice Slimster. Vivid black rocks, but I'm biased. haha.

If you don't like the football, easy to change. My Slim didn't come with the football, but I still changed it to an S&S stealth air cleaner very easily.

Ride On!

They look sweet.
I just put on some Samsons myself. They sit at the same height but are longer and they do scrap (without being lowered) when I make hard right turns.
