Bump!!
What's the latest Bill?I've made a couple of vids, but didn't like them much. For one thing, our Slingshark still had a turbo-tuned PCM, big injectors and 2-bar MAP sensor in it, and it's a bit more burbly than a stock PCM and stock injectors, also with that slightly higher idle (1000 RPM vs. the stock 800). Wanting the new exhaust to shine correctly, as well as appropriately with the parts it's likely to be paired with, I have now procured/installed a stock flash PCM and injectors. This was the right move...it sounds great now, crisp and clean!
Weather's been a bit of a pain as well, but we should be able to shoot today, upload tonight. After my "trial runs" with the other vids, I think I have a nice format down for the final cut! Stay tuned...

Here's a teaser shot of the pipe and its bezel. As mentioned, this is the same route as the Alpha side-exhaust, with the hole in the same location in the side body panel, so as to make refitting to our product straightforward and inexpensive, as one can re-use the same body panel.
I decided to do something snappy with the bezel this go, more in keeping with Slingshot's angular theme, so we went full Hex!

I see the hole in it to add a baffle to the end

Right you are! The pipe also sweeps rearward somewhat, so we put a jaunty angle cut on it as well.

I added a square tip to the alpha. When you release your side exhaust will I be able to have this tip put on? Or do you not recommend it?
Thank you for any information you can provide

Wondering the same thing...

I don't see any reason that could not be adapted to our design. I believe the Alpha used a 2 1/2" pipe, as are we, so it should be do-able!

Bill i know where you live....im dropping off my SS so you can mess with it!

Oh, the sound of it! I love driving with this exhaust, it's really the most fun I've had with a new exhaust design in some time. Great sound and tone, and you can actually have a conversation at 60-70 MPH. Four-cylinder engines are a challenge to pull deep, satisfying sound from without becoming tinny or buzzy. We've had excellent results with these Magnaflow Made-in-USA mufflers on our other applications, so we were confident we'd get great sound here too. Our dual-pass muffler approach does a great job of managing the volume without killing the character of the deep tone.
We've been putting it through its paces, and it's been flawless so far. Smooth operation thanks to its urethane chassis mounts. Stays where it's supposed to stay, no "sagging" or other remedies needed. Quiet when you want it to be, throatier when you get deeper in the throttle. Thanks to the baffle, the two available sound levels make it a great fit for everyone.

Couldn’t hear it over the loudness of all that PINK!!!
Seriously, sounds GREAT!

That sounds great, re posted the clip on local FB since a few people are looking for a way to fill their holes........

I have a saying: The best things in life are pink.
Glad you like it!
Incidentally, my lovely bride insists that we imbue all the things with pink. It was all I could do to not end up in a pink house! Here at Hahn Acres, pink is omnipresent. Her pink Saturn Sky was a real conversation-starter:

I posted this on tds, but wanted to post here too for the cool kids.
'One question. Can it be installed without taking the side panel off if you already have the Alpha exhaust?'

I would say no. The exhaust is compact, but with its various pipes and hangers, not so compact that it could be inserted without removing the side panel. For what it's worth, removing the side also greatly enhances access to the install overall (such as installing the mounting brackets to the chassis), so ultimately it's a decent tradeoff.

Sounds great Bill

checked and double checked this thread and didn't see any mention of heat
How is it for heat dispersal?

Looking forward to seeing these at Maggie valley.

Excellent. Between the compact size of the muffler, and the fact that we're not exhausting underneath the machine, cabin heat input is reduced.

Sounds good! Without the baffle is a nice tone for my ears!!
