Default Possible for dual exhaust on a Softail Custom?

Just wondering if it was possible to run dual exhaust on a Softail Custom (FXSTC). I have a 94 and love the look of Samson Cholos. If anyone has ran dual exhaust, what pipes did you go with and pics please! And if anyone knows a system that will work, let me know. Thanks!

I'm sure it could be done, but exactly what system and who makes it is going to be another story.
I think your best bet will be to find a set you like and just ask the maker if it, or a version of it will fit on your bike.

Vance and Hines makes true duals for the softails. They are listed on their website for years going back to 1997.

Samson makes them.. 84-06 exhaust will fit your bike.

What you will need to do is tap the left side frame where the bracket goes. HD didn't start tapping that side of the frame for exhaust brackets until 96 I believe

This. It is what I did to run Samson true dual fishtails (36").

Not sure how far they go back, but I'm running Freedom Performance Exhaust. They are the Racing True Dual System, performs way better than the Samson's duals I took off, plus they fit a lot better too.

I'm looking in to a set of true duals for my 10 HSTC. How do you like them? Any performance gains or set backs? Any help would be appreciated.
