I had my pipes in 4 days (True duals w/fishtails). I had a question, they answered right away, they emailed me a thank you. My pipes look and sound great and installed easy.. Totally the opposite end of the spectrum..

Are you working with an assigned rep or do they all suck right now?

Default Sampson BACKORDER!!

Just want to let everybody know that Sampson Exhaust has major issues with their manufacturing process, or something. They Told me the exhaust would be 6-8 weeks, well 10 weeks later, and still nothing! They will not give a set date on delivery, they have no idea when they are getting anything in, you get nothing put a run around, I have talked with several people, and dealers having the same issues. One excuse they gave me was they can not chrome in SD, well the moves was over 2 years ago, this situation should be straightened out by NOW!!!
Either way it is PI$$ POOR customer service. I for one have canceled my order, and am going to another brand/Manufacturer, I suggest the same of everybody else. If your considering ordering ANYTHING from them, be prepared to WAIT A VERY LONG TIME..... and take note, I order my pipes in the very slow time of year, so if its riding season, may as well plan on getting your order next season...MAYBE!
Sampson needs to be boycotted, until they get their crap together, and start taking care of the bikers who allow their company to exist!

I love the boycott and unless I get a definitive date I will also cancel tomorrow! $944 they are going to watch walk away forever as I will not be back regardless of how great the product is. I will encourage everyone else to do the same as well. Someone really high up the ladder better chime in here and try to salvage this while there is still an opportunity and For those who are touting how great they are, you hit the lotto as now it is dry.

Yall are making me want to cancel my order as I am getting the same run around. Trucks not here etc. I ordered 4 weeks ago so it isn't too bad but 10 weeks!? I may just challenge the charge on my card.

That's another thing.
No reputable vendor would charge your card until the item shipped.

The only way to get them fast is too order the header and mufflers seperate ! There are dealers online that have them in stock you just have to do your homework on the part numbers !

The six week wait was not in the past year was it? As far as do the home work, I've done a fair amount please help? I am looking for full system w/ 36" & removable baffle and tips, nothing else. I,ll order the freedom tomorrow or keep the big shot long on my bike unless I get a firm date tomorrow. Thanks

The fact that Samson is a sponsor and has not chimed in says a lot about the company
