I don't have any input as far as what they sound like, but I like the look of the Freedom pipes better. They have nice smooth flowing curves, where the Fire Sweeps are a little more angular. The Freedoms are pretty similar looking to the popular V&H pipes, but I really like the smooth turnout at the end.

For that style pipe, I would say to get the Vance and Hines Big Shots Staggered. I don't think they can be beat for sound, fit, and finish. My brother has had them on his 2004 FXDWG since 2005 and they look as good as the day he put them on.

If your thinking about the freedom's call them first and make sure you will be able to remove your oil filler cap without having to remove the pipes, there seems to be a problem with them blocking the dip stick/ filler cap.

I like how the fire sweeps are shorter, but I prefer shorter pipes...Both would look nice though!

I personally think the V&H Big Radius look absolutely awesome on Dynas.

I am leaning more towards the freedoms, I spoke with them on the phone today for about an hour , If anything seems like their customer service is top notch. and the price is right 418.95 shipped from direct harley parts

If your thinking about the freedom's call them first and make sure you will be able to remove your oil filler cap without having to remove the pipes, there seems to be a problem with them blocking the dip stick/ filler cap.
This was of the 1st questions I asked and on the declaration there is no problem getting to it . Thanks for the tip tho
