Default Samson long tails

I called Samson today I ordered a set of long tails 39 inch on January 8th and I am still getting bull **** answers like one side is done and we are waiting on the other same story for the last month. It's now seven months and nothing

I hate that for you. I guess you haven't read the 100 pages of people having the same experience?

If I were you, I would call my credit card company and cancel the order. Get something else.

I wouldn't give the arrogant jerks the satisfaction of treating me that way and still keeping my business. I don't have samsons on my bike and don't have a dog in this fight but I will say that I run a mid sized business, and after reading all these posts about the service or lack there of from this company I am stunned.

Dude,

You're well aware of the lengthy wait on pipes from Samson. New threads about it are old already. I agree that this situation is BS, but, when you called yesterday did you actually expect a different answer?

You have two simple choices. Either order pipes from a different company or wait on the Samsons and they come in when they come in.

Are you using the stock flanges or did you purchase new ones from Samson? The stock ones are thicker and are known for not being user friendly with the Samson headpipe. Search for stock flanges with Samson pipes to get more results.

Dude,

Are you going to resurrect every Samson thread about your issue? Multiposting is not good forum etiquette. Someone may post to one thread not realizing someone else posted the same information in another thread.
