e told you in previous issues of Drag Specialties Magazine about the total revamp of the Samson product line. The good news continues with the introduction of even more pipes, silencers and styles guaranteed to turn heads and build sales. Following hot on the heels of the just-released “Cholo,” those extra-cool, extra-long Fishtail-style pipes with applications for Softails from ‘95 to present, Samson has just let loose with a whole shelf full of even more Fishtail-style exhausts for the Softails, Road Kings and baggers. There are restyled Upsweeps, there are Side By Sides and there are High/Lows for the Softails. For the dressers and Road Kings there’s that long and low “gangsta” look Cholo–pipes extending way past the bags and fender, and there are True Dual Fishtails in a short-muffler version, too.
     Kenny Price, with a renowned sense of style, has pulled out the stops this season. Fishtails have always been a Samson favorite and this year there are nine new Fishtail pipes added to the Big Guns 3 lineup. The new Longhorns, Renegades and Chopper Longtails all feature the unique Samson Fishtail that’s revolutionized the fishtail look, and with applications for all the popular-model Softails, Road Kings and dressers riders are sure to find exactly what they’re looking for right here.
     There’s more than looks here, too. These exhausts are all genuine Samson BG3s, with all the benefits and features that have made the Big Guns 3 as popular as they are. The new ‘07 Fishtails all have seamless, trouble free, one-piece heat shields for the hot, custom look riders want. With Samson’s one-piece heat shields broken tab brackets and annoying rattles are a thing of the past. These heat shields, integrated right into the design of the pipes, are the full 2 1/2-inches in diameter that’s so popular now and because they’re integrated into the pipe they’re far more reliable than any old-fashioned fastener-type heat shield.      When compared to double-wall pipes the Samson design weighs less, too. Behind those heat shields the Samson Fishtails are all about performance. A stepped-pipe design, they go from a 1 3/4-inch diameter to a 2 1/4-inch size that significantly improves the exhaust flow. Samson has included integrated baffles to neatly meet the performance needs of modern FI motors, too, and with a deep and throaty sound they overcome all objections to the sometimes raucous tone of straight pipes. The Samson Fishtails sound wonderful, demonstrating Samson’s ongoing commitment to EPA issues in the process. As a final touch and to build brand image the Samson-exclusive “BG3” logo is stamped on every pipe.
     Looks, performance, quality, easy mounting–the new Samson Fishtails are an easy sell. It’s made easier with Samson’s “All In One Pricing,” too. Here’s another industry innovation. Customers can choose the look they want without worrying about how much more one style might cost compared to another. The Samson Fishtails and Fishtail True Duals, in all the lengths, styles and most applications, are priced the same. You can count on them being in stock, too–Samson has one of the best fill-rates in the industry and there’s a full 1-Year Warranty! All this is available through Drag Specialties and there’s more to come. Samson has revamped for 2007, and the results spell sales. Check with your Drag Specialties rep.
