 now that might work just fine, cost of the tubing is not really bad, I'll have to measure mine to see how much you would actually need.

The colour idea might be the ticket for some people.

What about those milled hose ends they use on race cars and stuff?

 Your most welcome, and I do know that the Road House system the nuts ( for lack of a better word for it) is somehow welded or attached to the serrated cover. Then the instructions tell you to attach the pipes with the flanges and install them loosely, then to slide the covers up over the pipes and have the set screws in the nuts towards yourself and tighten them only enough to hold the bolts in place. Then to line things up with the lower parts and tighten once the complete system is tight then to loosen the set screws on the nuts and turn them so they are not seen and tighten them.

Some day.....but some day a front hub cover also, hard to find parts......

 The road house exhaust with the serrated heat covers did in fact slide up over the header pipes and then there was a couple of tabs that were used at the lower end with a hose clamp to hold it in place behind the cover, at the top it was cover with the big "bolt"  and these bolts were held in place by a couple of Allan headed screws. Hope the pictures help....

The uppers look to me like the hose clamp covers for stainless radiator hoses

As far as I know, they are just pieces of stainless steel flex exhaust pipe slid over the normal header pipes...just like Harley used to do.

That's what I was going to try, originally when I was thinking about trying to make something - I think they look great.  I have access to flex tubing, so I thought I might try to put pieces over the pipes.  Only thing is what to do with the ends.  I'm sure there's a solution.

Haha well the main thing I liked about them was the headers with the ridges. Is there any other style exhaust that has the same style?

Finding ANYTHING roadhouse is going to be difficult, since they have been out of business for years...Might be time to get out the welder...

Hey everyone I'm looking for a old school looking exhaust system. I really like the roadhouse classic 2 to 1 but am having trouble finding them for my drifter 800. Any help would be appreciated.
