Vance & hines vs. Roadhouse exhaust

(I'm Running the same thread on Hooligans Site).

Anyone know anything about the Roadhouse dual exhaust. I'm changing my exhaust in the spring.

Thanks

Happy holiday everyone.

I've got a set of Roadhouse Dooleys---here are links to past posts I've been involve in.

If these posts don't give you enough info--let me know what you need. I couldn't bring my self to go with the V&H because of all the head pipe crack complaints and V&H not standing behind their product. Also, every HD that has V&H is too loud for me.

Thanks. Great info. So many options. I'll post my decision when it's time. I also don't like it too loud. On another thought, cops may not like it too loud when you go by them either.

By the way, if you do get the Dooleys, they offer a baffleing kit to make them quieter and they're not all that expensive. I've seen them on ebay for $50.

trjam, can you post a pic of the quiet baffles when you get them please? Mine doesn't seem to have a lot of material on them to do a good job, and was wondering what the difference in build was. They just have half the length with holes and a thin layer of fibreglass covering.
Thanks, Trev

All this talk about pipes. All the videos and cools sounds... I got the itch.

I ordered my V&H's today. It's going to make my better half happy, she rides a Harley and would love for my bike to sound louder.

I'd appreciate your letting me know when you finish installing the roadhouse exhaust and any issues you may have encountered.

Thanks
Flavor

Geeze, another Nomad owner who's wife rides a Harley, and I thought I'd be the only one.
