Decided to rattle can the wing using the textured black (Rust-Oleum P7220) I used to match all the alpha parts. Should be finished and installed this weekend!
Totally bummed - Damaged shipment

do people with low rear exit pipes have this fume issue? What about side exit pipes?
I have the Alpha side-exit. I notice fumes when sitting at a light, but would anyway with the stock exhaust. The difference is the uncatalyzed smell which some people don't like, but doesn't bother me much. Some have reported an improvement in uncatalyzed exhaust smells with mid-grade, 89 octane fuel. I haven't tried this since my plan was to do the MEFI Bob tune next to see if it changes the richness.
BTW I love the sound of this exhaust!

I installed the wing Friday night and proceeded on a 300 mile ride the following day. I am happy to report that the wing has done a great job at splitting the air at the rear. I do not get nearly as much exhaust smell underway and coming to a hard stop it is significantly reduced. I am completely satisfied with the wing and now at least the paint job will hold up.

I need to wash it before capturing the beauty of her new wang!
I was a total bug magnet and am embarrassed to show her off as she sits.

I am ready for some pics. Now I know when I order raw and paint myself with your paint. I like the middle size the best I think. Not many pics out there

Do u think the wing has any benefits like less exhaust smell in the cab or just looks good

It does change the air flow off the back. I have a Welter Stealth, RD roof, and 7 inch Madstad with no fumes.
With the same configuration with out it I had light to medium fumes, especially when I had a 9 inch Madstad. -
Another possible help to reduce fumes is to put a vent (low and centered) into the large windscreen. Basically you get a large high pressure area in front of windscreen when riding and a low pressure area behind the screen pulling air from the rear. I had a similar problem on my Spyder RT and cut this NACA looking vent into the windscreen. It cut WAY down on rain on the back of the windscreen as well as the back of my sunglasses, should work equally as well with fumes.

@supermoto292 if you need or want any measurement just let me know

Shot of the large wang installed. If you notice, this wing is missing the camera cut out.

Looks good! Fumes all gone now?

Huge improvement! Not 100% clear, but have still yet to tune. Not looking forward to shipping my ECM. May just make a trip to Bob's later this summer and get the NA build dailed in properly.
Got you on IG.
