Default Fishtail slip ons

I am thinking about fishtail slip ons not mufflers but pipe extensions. Anyone willing to share pros and cons? Thanks.

I put the Kury's on mine, really like the looks, ad says won't change exhaust sound but it made it a little louder, must be like an echo chamber. Look out for your shins when walking around the back.

I am a fishtail man from way back. They are usually rather loud. I love the old school look of fishtails and highly recommend the Samson version as they have a traditional look. With or without baffles. I run no baffles and the sound is insane. But be warned it is definitely LOUD so if you want a quieter tone get baffles. I sell them as well as all other brands at a great discount every day.

Sent you a PM. I have a pair you can have. The pros are they're easy to put on and take off. The cons are some people don't like the look. You might hit the fishtails on the curb if you back into a spot with a high curb behind you because they stick out so far.
