Freedom Performance Exhaust

What Freedom Performance Exhaust does

Freedom Performance Exhaust is a privately held, US-based manufacturer of aftermarket performance exhaust systems for cruiser, bagger, and touring motorcycles, headquartered at 1255 Railroad Street in Corona, California. The company designs and produces slip-on mufflers, 2-into-1 systems, radical radius full systems, and complementary accessories (baffles, end-caps, brackets) constructed from American-forged steel and Aircraft 6061 aluminum, marketed explicitly as 100% American Made. Its catalog covers fitment for eleven motorcycle brands — Harley-Davidson, Indian, BMW, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Victory, Moto Guzzi, Triumph, and Moto Morini — across model years stretching from 1999 to 2026, with recent model-specific launches for the 2025 Indian 101 Scout, 2025 Harley Softail narrow-tire platform, and 2026 Indian Chief Vintage.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront built on Shopify (accepting Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and major credit cards), supported by an authorized dealer network with a login portal, dealer signup, and an international dealer application form, plus worldwide shipping with 7-16 day overseas delivery. Pricing is per-unit, typically ranging from approximately $90 for end-caps to roughly $700 for complete bundles such as the Harley Softail Radical Radius, with a continuous BLOW OUT promotion program and a dedicated military/first-responders discount. Distribution is amplified by an organic marketing footprint across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube (sound-check videos), an email newsletter, and a brand blog, and the company has begun extending into adjacent branded merchandise through a "Freedom Apparel" collection.

Freedom Performance Exhaust is independent and family-style in posture: no parent company, no disclosed institutional investors or venture funding, and no public listing. The business is operationally a small specialty manufacturer with a single headquarters, a single customer-service phone line, and customer service limited to weekday Pacific Time hours. End customers are individual motorcycle riders rather than enterprise accounts, and while no revenue, headcount, or funding figures are publicly disclosed, the operational footprint is consistent with a small, niche aftermarket supplier sustained by model-year-specific fitment coverage, American-made brand positioning, and a hybrid D2C-plus-dealer channel mix.
