I was not happy with the noise level of the factory pipes. Really enjoying this upgrade!

yesIf these Freedom Performance pipes fit the Classic, would they fit the entire R18 family? Are the header pipes the same across all models?
How long was the wait to get them? I ordered about a month ago and am still waiting.I was not happy with the noise level of the factory pipes. Really enjoying this upgrade!
Here is a video of the FP 4.5's on a R18B
I don’t understand the reluctance of this company to ship outside the US. They could sell a lot more.
UK but there are a lot of R18 owners based outside the US.Where are you located?
Freedom 4.5in exhaust with BugBike no cat headers. I love the sound and the compliments I get associated with it. Freedom Performance exhaust with their tips were too short to me. Added some chrome diesel truck exhaust tips to extend the past the saddle bags.I was not happy with the noise level of the factory pipes. Really enjoying this upgrade!
The Classic with stock pipes, with the Brentune and DNA stage 2 upgrades definetly improves the sound of the bike...I am thinking this exhaust may be too loud. Although, I do like the idea of even more power.I have put Cobras or Vance and Hines on just about every bike I own except for my current HD RoadGlide Special and of course the beloved R18TC. This is partly due to age. When you reach 60 years, the awesome sound doesn't mean as much as it used to.
That said.....those Freedom pipes sounded great. Might have to look into this.
Seems to be the same ... but be aware that if you have a first like me, you will need these covers/shieldsIf these Freedom Performance pipes fit the Classic, would they fit the entire R18 family? Are the header pipes the same across all models?
The Freedom Perfomance doesn’t come with those deflectors?Seems to be the same ... but be aware that if you have a first like me, you will need these covers/shields

btw. I love mine .. I tried the 'quiet' baffles .. but they really cut into the performance ... and the 'standard' ones sound just THAT good !
Edit: .. to include, IMO it is a good idea to paint the baffles with some heat resistant paint (I used stove pipe black) because the moisture from the catalytic converters really makes them rust very quickly and then it looks really ugly when you look into them ..
Mine didn't .. at least that is what the dealership said ... but then I didn't order them myself, the dealer did .. it was part of the deal/package I made with him when I bought the bike . so better call them and ask IMOThe Freedom Perfomance doesn’t come with those deflectors?
