CFR, Super Trapp Stouts or Samson M-159?
'12 FLHTCU. Gonna snap the trigger on one of 'em.
All are 4 inch. Within a hundred bucks of one another.
Samsons look a smidgen longer than CFR, which look a smidgen longer than Super Trapp.
I want to hear them, but not wake the dead...or my neighbors.
All sound good, from the vids I could pull up. Paul Yaffee cites the Stouts at about 9 hp gain and 9 fp torque gain on a stock bike with no a/c mods or fuel/ignition mods. CFRs worry me a little because people cite their sound as really aggressive.
I will probably run just Xieds for awhile, then K&N air cleaner, then maybe someday Power Vision and headers - when the Feds sign off on AzDEQ's stop the silliness of M/C emissions in Maricopa County.
Stupid to use CFR's with stock headers and maybe A/C? Or with just Xied and A/C? Too much pipe?
What say you?

jswerve: That is not correct with the new CRF exhaust. They are very easy to tune since the baffles were updated by Cary.
I have installed a ton of exhaust on people bikes and i will say my choices would be
1 CFR Great sound great quality... did I say great sound
2 Rush Big Louie Deep sound not as loud as CFR but great quality great price
3 RCX remind me of Rineharts but better chrome and quality better price
4 Fuel Moto Exhaust Deep sound on the quiet side but price and quality are great.
All 4 of these companies have had great customer service
By the way I have CFR on my bike 2011 Street glide 103 with Power duals Stage 1 intake, PCV. with these mods +12 HP and +14 TQ. From stock I can definatly feel the power difference.

Says who? Cary? The boys at Fuelmoto would disagree... That's all I needed to know. To each his own though, best of luck

So true. All you can do is do research and make an educated decision. I actually like the MGS true duals but the left side pipe location was a deal breaker for me. Nice pipes though man.

Unless Samson has made some huge changes in quality control and customer service from 5-6 years ago there is no way I would spend my hard earned money on them.
