Firstly, welcome to the forum. Don't worry about the pipes. Samson makes good pipes, with many styles to choose from. Go to NighRider.com. They have some dyno results from different types of pipes and I think Samsons are included in this list. Don't be scared to ask questions. I know from first hand knowledege that you won't get flamed for it. Have fun and post often. Congrat.s on you new NT. J.T.
