Default Anyone running Samson hellraisers?

Shortshots are a no brainier for good looks and sound. But looking for something a little different. Found some hellraisers for a good price but I can find very few reviews. Their home page don't list the baffle size on this pipe that I could find. Did see some of their exhaust came through with 1 3/4" so I'm assuming that is what they have. Looking for a fairly loud pipe and wondering if anyone has any input on these as I can't find much with my research

I just installed mine and absolutely love them.


Installed them with some help from a friend. The rear one was a real b!tch- took off the heat shield and it worked.




I have a video on my phone but won't allow me to download. Loving the pipes so far. I got mine shipped, duty fees and all for $618 Canadian- so like 250 bucks American ;-) our dollar sucks right now.

Got mine for $388 American plus shipping and duty processing fees (the $250 was a sad attempt at a joke about our crappy dollar). They are quite loud, which I was going for. I leave for work at 7am and am now quite conscious of not gunning it. I wouldn't say it is obnoxiously loud or drags with no baffles loud but people will know a Harley is on the way. I really love the sound, deep grumble. I've had more people check the bike out since I put them on than I did in a couple months last year. I added the forward controls at the same time and the combo of both has left a grin on my face I just can't get rid of!! Sorry about the video, I'm not really a YouTube posting kind of guy- hell, if it weren't for the direct download from your device option I wouldn't be posting pics on here. If you PM me your e-mail I could send the video that way; as everyone says, the video doesn't do it justice.
