The tips at the end of the RH Dooleys are pretty long. They come in a few different styles.

Thanks Rich. Can anyone running Freedoms possibly post some pics? Thanks.

I too love the look of the large diameter dooley, however would rather have a single pipe out of the rear jug like my freedomo pipes. If someone made the slash tip large diameter dooley with the pipes oriented like the freedom pipes, I would probably have to get them.

I've had both the Dooleys and Freedom's, IMHO the Freedoms are cleaner, easier to install, and sound a little more throaty. I ordered the "Signature Tips" that Freedom offers and I don't think a man could go wrong with them.

Re:roadhouse duallys 1 Year, 7 Months ago  
I have a set of Roadhouse Duallys for a year now . I found the Company helpfull and willing to try and resolve problems , but I have to say the workmanship and Quality control is very poor . They do look good from a distance but the Heat shield fit and finish is hopelss. That and the left side pipe is pretty well decoration rather than functional . I wish I had bouught something better . I say never make the mistake of thinking aftermarket pipes are any where near the Quality of construction and design right down to the mounting system that the Stock pipes are . Just too bad they dont look better and accomodate bigger and lower bags .
Just my opinion !

My '08 has the DG Hard-Krome 3" Big Straights. I think they look and sound good on the bike. I have no regrets on the purchace. When I was looking i Spent some time on youtube and you can hear diffrent pipes on the roadstars. Sound is not the best but you get the general idea. I just searched for roadstar pipes i think.

I'm with you, I found the heatshields to be hopeless, I tried for hours, and I so mad, had to walk away and come back a couple days later, the shields just would not line up. That's not the case with the Freedom's, they're a super easy install and look good both from near and far, the left hand pipe is very functional, unlike those of the Dooley. I know they say that 2 into 1 is the best to run for performance, that is pretty much what a set of Dooleys does, the LH pipe has extremely low backpressure. Both look good, I just favor the Freedoms.

The grass is sometimes greener on the other side of the fence. No complaints with my Roadhouse Dooley's. Freedoms have the larger cans now too I believe and I do like the Signature tips. Both are nice pipes.

Customer Service on the RoadHouse Dooleys was beyond belief.

They don't sell chrome brackets. But, they made me a set anyway...
