Complaints???
#21
For some reason Samson is more but I want the length of the Samsons. My dad is talking about getting fishtails, so I can't do those. The V&H are great pipes and the bike runs awesome, but I see too many of them in my area. I will keep mine in case I don't like them, but I don't think I will have a problem. And if I do then it will still look good to me.

I know it's like beating a dead horse, but I have to ask. I have searched the forums with little luck. I want Samson true duals with the 36" slach cut mufflers. BUT I have heard from 3 different Harley dealers that Samson exhaust is bad. The only complaint I have read is about the O2 ports and how they are in the way. Any help as to guidance would be greatly appreciated!!!

Recovery: Welcome from another Buffalo, NY'r! Where about are you, I'm in Williamsville.
As for the Samsons, I had them on my bike for close to 10 years and the only reason I took them off is to put a ThunderHeader on. They look and sound great, and hold up very well.
Did Buffalo Harley advise you to steer clear of them? Buffalo Choppers didn't recommend them either? Why? If so, what did they recommend? Curious...

I later found out that (In the U.K. at least) H-D have a tie-up with V & H, which is why the stealers push you that way.
After almost a year I've bitten the bullet and got my Samsons - fitted by my Indy.
I had no complaint with the V & H's, but the Samsons are absolutely superb both in quality and performance. Have no hesitation!
Moral of this story: When a dealer offers advice, make sure you disregard it! You've only to look at the number of delighted Samson users on here.

Buffalo Chopper said that the bike would run like crap with those on it. He said that he installed a set on a bike and they couldn't get it to run, not even on the Dyno. That was my first time hearing that. Gowanda was the next one. He said the same thing about how it will run. Both of them said that if I bought it, they would install it but with no guarantees about the performance. After that, I called Stan's because I got a 20% off coupon in the mail off a single purchase. I asked parts about the Samson pipes. First response was "What's making you go with Samson?" I told them the look and the sound. Then she recommended V&H which is what I have now.
So now I am at 3 strikes and all three are out because I am going to buy them regardless especially since I am getting good responses from owners. The bike is pretty well tuned, but it is running lean. The adjustment screw is a little tight so I am going to have Gowanda fine tune it on the Dyno after I get them installed. Plus it has already been re-jetted with the stage 1 kit that was on it when I bought it.

When I ordered my 2012 Deluxe I was sick for Samson cholos, but my dealer hadn't a right word for them - I came away thinking Samson were the biggest pile of crap known to man. I ended up with V & H at the dealer's recommendation.

But with this topic, I am going to trust all of you! I highly doubt that I would get all of these responses if they were in fact garbage.
