Default Fishtails
thinking of getting some fishtails to replace my VH Ovals for the classic look. Any recommendations? I dont want to get much louder than the ovals. Will probably need to remap my PCIII as well. What y'all think

I originally went with Samson's long fishtails....way too loud....

Then I switched to VH Big Shot Duals....Way better sound and looks.

I have the Sampson Drag Fishtails. No baffles, and loud as ****. Might not be what you are looking for, but, I just love my pipes. By far my favorite mod.
But those true duals that wico1 has are sweet. I was just thinking of adding fulsac, but that does look sweet.

Screamin Eagle Fishtails quiet till you really jump on it, then a nice mellow roar.
