Default Fish tail who makes a nice set?

I am looking to change my pipes to fish tails. Who makes a nice set? I know Samson had some choking issues a while back. What about Vance and hence? Thanks for the information.

I have the Vance and Hines set on my FLHTK. I really like them. They aren't too loud when riding around town or cruising. They can really bark when you grab a handful of throttle.

I have Vance and Hines on an 09 king from the PO. They are very high quality finish and there was great customer service support when I had questions. I like the rumble and then the bark. They sell 2 types, mine have only fish tail tips, the other has adiditional interchange tips available. If I was buying new I would consider the model with interchange tips.

Cool

I have HD Screamin Eagle Street Cannon slip-ons with fishtail end caps and love them. Look and sound good. Chrome is of good quality. You could do worse than these. By the way I have V&H dresser dual headers to go with them.

I have Python 2.5 inch, 36" long fishtails on my Custom, I like the tone and the look, I got these mainly because the body is 2.5" and my Cobra duals are 2.5" so I get the seamless transition between header and pipes. The FT's have non removable baffles so as not to be too loud.
