Default bit the bullet, Samson 36" straight fishtails with 2 1/4 true duals on the way

should have the exhaust by tuesday im hoping, will start the install tuesday night, will also be installing the Thundermax cpu with auto tune. Anybody have experience with samson exhaust, the good the bad the ugly?!?!?! Just wondering about possible gains in horsepower on a stock 88" engine.

i had the straight samson fishtails, they sound kind of blatty...pick up a pair of 4 inch or 7 inch baffles for 10 bucks and they sound great without losing much volume. if you dont like it, just take the baffles out. the worse that could happen is you lose 10 bucks.

Anybody have experience with samson exhaust, the good the bad the ugly?!?!?! Just wondering about possible gains in horsepower on a stock 88" engine.[/quote Get ready to wake the neighborhood! I had Vance& Hines Header Pipes (true dual) along with the Sampson 33" Fish Tail Mufflers on my FLHTCSE2. Stage One Breather kit, had a Race tuned with the SERT. HP gains were minimal @ best!But let me say this... REALLY-REALLY -L-O-U-D!I told the guy that was tuning her that I liked the deceleration clackle,clackle,clackle...but he took some of that out, when tuning. Bike really came on @ about 45 mph. But then again I had the 103" motor too! I used to have to turn the Motor off at nite and coast in the driveway, as sound would echo off the houses a block over! But afer tuning the bike ran GREAT. It would not make a sound when I shut the Motor off, u-no no pinging,pipes cracking or anything like that. OB-NOC-SHUS! If you like it loud... its come-n!
