Looking into some freedom performance dual exhaust but haven't heard alot on them. Just wondering about the quality and most importantly to me is the sound. I'm wanting some that have some pretty good sound. Ive had the Rinehart 4 in and id like something as loud or louder than those.

I did a brief write-up on MY Freedom Performance pipes a while back:

http://www.roadglide.org/20-intake-exhaust/281730-replace-stock-slip-mufflers-specifics-3.html

I've got about 7k miles on mine, and I'm still loving them. Most who I ride with like the sound, but if it's LOUDNESS you're after, the CFR's might be the way to go. The 3" Rineharts on a friend's Road King are pretty rowdy sounding. I prefer a lower note myself, and the FP's have a nice rumble, with an authoritative "bark" when the throttle is whacked. And engine braking REALLY dumps thunder with the FP's. Sounds like a semi from behind (so I'm told).

I had their "American Outlaw" true dual setup on my Softail Deluxe a couple of bikes ago. I'm a repeat customer. Build quality is top shelf, and from what I understand- the company was started by some ex-V&H hands.

Exhaust is about as subjective as tires. Go for what you want. And don't listen to sound clips of ANYTHING on the internet. Unless a professional-quality microphone was used, and the entire signal path is lossless compression, you're not going to be hearing what the exhaust sounds like. A phone, laptop, or basic desktop audio system won't be able to reproduce the correct frequency response or volume.

I can't speak to their touring exhausts, but the slip ons my wife has on her 1200 sporty are really f#@$ing loud! I mean, they sound good with lots of deep bark, but after about 30-40 mins riding, it gets old... fast. She loves it though!

Have them on my wife's Softail that we converted into a Street Glide look. Very good quality and awesome sound. I would recommend them to anyone.

Seems like Freedom performance are not much popular over here, I asked about them in other thread and nobody answer it.

A lot of my friends have those pipes and let me tell you they are really LOUD!!!! They have Electra Glides Limited and Street Glide. The have the headers and slip-ons, my friends look very happy with them and tried to convince me to have one...

but nevertheless for all that I have read here I'm thinking in Vance & Hines Power duals!
