Hi all,

I'm looking to install a some true dual headers for my winter project this year. I'm already running Rinehart 4" mufflers which I love. I don't like the look of duals that have one of the headers crossing under the bike to the left side. I've narrowed my choices down to BUB Standard True Dual Headers or Samson True Duals:

I've heard that Samson has had quality issues in the past, is that still the case? Just wondering what others may think. Thanks in advance!

 

Between the two I like the Bubs .. Final Call is yours though ...

 

I have the Bubs on my 08 Ultra and they look great, get myself some good comments on how nice they look

 

I bought a 2010 Street Glide and like you like I the look of the rear cylinder pipe coming off of the left side of the bike. I had other baggers in the past and used Samson Pipes with no issues, So I did the same with this bike (true duels) and have been very happy with the fit, finish, and performance.

 

Thanks for the input. I think I'm leaning towards the Samsons because the front header goes straight back with no bends, nice and clean. The BUBs have that little bend up below the passenger footrest.

I just noticed something about the Samson headers I linked though. The picture shows the front cylinder header going straight back and the left going off to the left side, but the description says they're "crossover" pipes. I'll have to call Samson and verify that the picture is accurate.

 

I wonder if either is cooler in temps for the passenger?

 

The picture is correct they call that the crossover type and the other style they list is the crossunder style

 

Vance Hines true dul for me no heat under seat

 

Between the two, I'd go for the Bubs

 

Heard from two guys I know that have those style set-ups that there were some significant heat issues. Both are looking to 86 them.
