Default Question about my pipes and swapping the ends?

OK guys, another question to learn something about my pipes.

I have Samson true dual rolled edge pipes. I'd like to put fishtails on instead.

I don't have to change the whole thing, correct? Just the second half of the pipes going to the end, right?

Oh, and that would require a new dyno?

Thanks

Yup, should be able to order mufflers from Samson

Is this a do-it-yourself kind of job? I'm pretty handy with tools.

Soak it down with Liquid Wench every day for a few days before you're set to begin to help break up the carbon and road trash that'll be in the joints and clamps.

Peg, your bike is already a looker....gonna be even better with the fishtails or longtails.

Like QC said, spray the clamps and header/muffler union, after it sits a bit it's an easy job.

Needs to be the fishtails for sure. Way more attitude and cool factor.

I like what you have now. But if you're going to change, go with the fishtails.
