Indiansteve Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I have always been a loyal Samson exhaust customer. In the last few years, I have read that the business is actively for sale. Not sure if it sold, or not. Over the years, I have purchased and installed many sets of their products, all with success and loved their quality and service, until now. Two weeks ago I ordered a set of 42 inch fishtail mufflers. I purchased them from the Samson Ebay store. The ad showed that they had three sets in stock, which turned out to be a lie. Today, I get an email saying they are waiting for parts to make my order. So, for the last two weeks essentially nothing has happened, nothing. Buyer beware, Samson now is not the Samson of old we all were used to dealing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleynot Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 soooooo, what I heard and this is kinda old news....last year or so.. Kenny had some issues.....health, financial, female... sorta sold his biz...lawyers got involved "see SVT USA Sampson exhaust" ...they are all over the place claiming they are not Sampson USA. Weird Marketing ploy... Kenny "The Godfather of Motorcycle Exhaust" ....moved out of Brea California.... put his kid (Stan ) in charge and tried to be an "online only" exhaust company out of Sturgis area... I like the guy, met him a couple of times. He never shunned Indian Riders to me anyway... like many HD Industry honks do.... messy deal... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiansteve Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Well, it took 20 days from my purchase to receive the mufflers. They fit up with a little tweaking and had a scratch on the chrome. But, all in all, I am pleased. It is clear that the company has moved locations and it experiencing some delays in shipping. Hopefully, things will improve, but until then, buyer beware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking through old posts I just ordered a set of Samson true dualls the lady there said Samson was now owned by a Canadian, its a bit pricey for us buying out of the States as our dollar is only worth 80cents it has been at 75 cents for a long time Afterfour(Rick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I have a set of Samson fish tails on my Springfield. The company is/was in Indiana last year when I bought them. They had issues and told me they weren't going to sell them anymore ( for the Polaris Indians). Not sure about Gilroys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
