Default Fish tips

I have a 05 Softail Deluxe . I have a set of Vance and Hines true duals with there fish tips . I want the look of the Samson 36 inch pipes . I hate to buy a complete exhaust so my question is will the longer Samson fish tip mufflers fit on the Vance and Hines pipes . If not I guess I will be selling the V&H pipes and getting the Samson pipes .

I have your exhaust on my bike and would like the fishtips, but my bags make it impossible without extending them. I have been wondering if I could just get some straight pipes and fit them over my V&H.
I have also thought of putting the fish tips on sideways instead of up and down for a different look.

New +3" and +6" extended models of the Fishtail mufflers both in chrome and black are coming for the Softail Duals in the near future. I've seen the initial test samples in R&D and they look sick!!! Stay tuned...
