arley riders and their exhaust-system needs come in as many variations as the motorcycles they're riding. Cruisers, customs, touring guys, performance seekers - they're all part of that big mix, and keeping everyone happy could be a daunting task. Could be, that is, if you had to flip through every supplier's stack of catalogs every time a different guy came in asking about a different set of pipes. Try to keep all that straight and you'd have everyone hopelessly confused in no time flat. It'd be nice if you could turn to just one supplier every time - a supplier with the right set of pipes whether it was a cruiser, a custom guy, a performance enthusiast or a long-distance touring rider standing on the other side of the counter.
     That one supplier could be Samson. The lineup is long, deep and feature-packed. Without making both you and your customer crazy in the search you'll find exactly what's called-for most every time. It'll be an easy sale, too, because along with all those pipe selections comes everything to go with it. Name recognition? It's Samson- what more needs to be said? Style and tone are Samson trademarks, so that's covered. Manufacturing quality? An easy fit? A strong warranty? Check, check and check. It's all there, and so is an attractive price, which more often than not becomes the deciding factor. So if you haven't already, take a good look at what Samson has to offer.

ere are some classic Samsons that are more popular than ever, and you can chalk that up to the popularity of all FLSTSC/FLSTSCIs out on the road. The Softail Springer Classic has built a strong following. Nostalgia is in and these bikes have it in spades. That leading-link Springer front end, those wide beach-style bars, the floorboards and even the taillight are all reminiscent of days gone by. So is the factory crossover exhaust system, sort of, because if there's one area on these bikes just begging for improvement, that's it. And Samson has the improvement. The Softail True Dual Fishtail exhaust is tailor made for these bikes.
     That's not surprising since Samson pretty much started the whole "True Dual" craze. These Softail True Duals, however, are the only systems available sporting that classic vintage-Harley look on the right side while neatly routing the pipe for the left side. Samson's True Duals really show off a V-twin engine, and when capped with a pair of classic Fishtail tips this is a Softail exhaust as authentically correct as it gets. And the look comes with a great sound.
     Samson's True Duals with Fishtails and the Softail Springer Classic are a perfect match. It's timeless, and Samson's one-piece heat shields will keep these pipes looking good for years to come. The True Duals with Fishtails are available for Softails from 1995 on, and there's even a choice of short or long mufflers. At a suggested retail of $599.95 it's the best money anyone can spend on a Springer Classic.
     Now, when you have a performance enthusiast in the store Samson's got him covered, as well. Take a look at the whole...

ou bet Samson has performance pipes. The Caliber Series exhausts, the industry's first four-step headers, are available for Softails, Dynas, Sportsters and dressers and these pipes can bump horsepower by as much as 25-percent over stock. That's huge, and the Calibers are offered in classic Over & Under and the 2-Into-1 styles for Softails, Dynas and Sportsters and there's a True Dual configuration for the Road Kings and dressers. That Caliber true-dual "Dually" gets power-boosted even more with Samson's Varitech baffles in the mufflers. The Varitech speeds up the exhaust flow literally sucking out the exhaust. Combined with the system's 4-Step headers, the effect is impressive. The Caliber Duallys improve flow even more by eliminating the OE system's rear scavenge pipe, and an added benefit here is even more airflow around the rear cylinder for better cooling. And of course it sounds great.
     Caliber pipes can significantly improve street performance. Any bike they fit gets "torque-ier", crisper, and lots more responsive. These pipes look good, too, and have full-coverage heat shields to keep them that way. The Caliber Duallys even follow the classic Harley layout, ending at the perfect spot right behind the bags. Their 3-inch mufflers are tipped with engraved aluminum end caps, too, chrome plated. Take a good look at this lineup.
     And Samson's not sitting still, either. Times are changing and Samson's changing with them, always innovating and introducing what's new and hot. And that brings you right to the latest, the...

Samsons popular Caliber Exhaust line offers the true quality and performance that Harley riders expect. Not only do the Calibers boost horsepower and torque, but they look great too!

The Caliber Duallys feature the industrys first 4-Step design, which helps to improve a bikes torque, response and overall street performance.

The Big Guns 3 lineup is the latest from Samson. This third generation of Big Guns exhausts now comes with integrated and seamless full coverage heat shields and integrated smooth-flow baffles as well. The Big Guns 3 lineup includes the Rip Saws and Slashers, along with the Cannons and Street Sweepers.

ere’s the third generation of those popular Samson Big Guns exhaust, and there’s plenty that’s new and exciting. Most definitely keeping that familiar Samson style and tone, the BG3s come loaded with lots of new features, benefits and extras. Here’s what’s new: The Big Guns 3 continue the classic Samson style with the Cannons, Street Sweepers, Rip Saws and Slashers, only now all that comes with completely integrated and completely seamless 2 1/2-in. one-piece/full-coverage heat shields. There’s no chance of any discoloration. The BG3s come standard with integrated smooth-flow baffles, too, baffles delivering a classic Samson rumble but this time not so loud as to attract all the wrong attention. The BG3s are custom pipes for today’s motors and riders.
     Those BG3 2 1/2-in. permanent heat shields are a lot more reliable than any old-style clamp-on heat shield. Broken tabs and rattling brackets are a thing of the past. Because the BG3 heat shields are integrated into the pipe design there’s nothing to wiggle loose or rattle around, and because that coverage extends from port-to-tip there’s no possibility of any bluing anywhere. The BG3s will keep a just-installed look for years. And they’re lightweight. A set of BG3 weighs just a fraction of what a comparable set of double-wall pipes would tip the scales at.
     There’s plenty going on under those heat shields, too. The Big Guns 3 start with performance-proven 1 3/4-in. head pipes that step up to a free-flowing 2 1/4-in. diameter to really move the exhaust. The pipes are great for cylinder scavenging. And they feature those integrated free-flow baffles, too; they’re built right in, they’re all steel, there’s nothing to blow out or need re-packing. The BG3 baffles are a great match with modern fuel-injected engines, and for the 2006 Dyna applications they even include the mounting bungs for the closed-loop oxygen sensors. They’re positioned in precisely the correct location, neither too deep nor too shallow.
     And of course the BG3s sound great. They’re not too loud, and definitely not too quiet. For added style the “BG3” logo is stamped on every pipe so there’s no mistaking that these are genuine Samsons. They come with a full one-year warranty, unique in the industry, and the baffled and heat-shielded BG3 Cannons, Street Sweepers, Slashers and Rip Saws are available for Softails from ‘86 to present models, Dynas from the ‘91 models through the ‘06s and for the new rubber-mount Sportsters. The suggested retail is $469.95 across the board. So, are you looking for one supplier that really does have it all? You’ll find it at Samson. Cruising, touring, performance–you name it, it’s here.
