I love my 2" W.P. Duals BUT........

Quote from MADDMOE

…..Im not feeling the mark it leaves from the rear tire ( and I still have my stock 18" in the rear wtf..) . Ive been to a few Slingshot Takeovers and ive seen the same mark with other Slingshots , especially with those that had bigger wheels...….So I Seen this new exhaust on slingmods and im Wondering why not have a back piece ( meaning the rear 2" pipe section ) made for my Duals that will bring the pipe up along the side of the rear tire , for my Duals so that I wont have that issue again...…..

…..Now the quest to find someone to create a 2" back pipe for me, before I purchase a new set of BIGGER wheels...……..

( WHERE ARE THOSE CREATIVE MINDS, HAVE TO GET THOSE JUICES FLOWING....)

I’m not having that problem...with a 20” rear wheel.....I have my pipe centered between the back of the bath tub and the tire.

...The Slingshot takeovers I been on, I have seen a lot without that issue but a lot with it, so go figure and I have the Bilstein One-Way adjustable Shocks on mine ….And I made it a point to check out everyones Slingshot that had the Duals on theirs, of course everyone has a different setup which I have to take into account BUT I think my ideal of moving that 2" back pipe over will work just as well.....

I did put on a slinglow rear end protector.. .....it looked as though there might have been some slight plastic meltation going on in that area right behind the pipe. Nothing on my tire but then again....that’s my 3rd back tire. Apparently you aren’t wearing them out fast enough...

A few people have bought the rear protection plate to cover damage and prevent further damage to the plastic from the Welter rear exit exhausts. The feedback I've gotten indicates that clearance between the exhaust and plastic tub differs on each installation. Some are very close and others have more space. This is the first I've heard about them impacting the tire.

I used to rub the tire on the pipe and it was annoying. I worked with Jeff Welter to come up with a fix and documented it. Didn't have the issue after the fix until I bagged the SS. But that is to be expected. I'll dig up the link for you to check if it will help. I am confident it will though.

Try reading this and then consider reaching out to Welter if you need the updated clamp. Not sure how old the system is: WP Dual Exhaust Mod - Avoid Rubbing Issues (Walk-Through)

Somehow I had missed this post when I was breaking the Assault fender brackets.

Good to know you are knowledgeable for when we install mine!

Now where's that missing piece... 🤔

Did you guys not get the part from Orlando? I take it he didn't show up to the SA wrench day?

Yeah, he did not. Is the part able to be purchased or could someone on here possibly have it?

MiM no need. I can easily snag it from him. It’s super easy to access.

Cool... I'll await further information. No rush. It's resting comfortably in my garage. 👍🏼

Along with other mods he bought in 2016...

Looking forward to the next wrench day!

Haha! It's true... 😆

I had to cut about an inch off one of pipes to get the correct clearance between the tub and the tire....

temporarily position the Y Pipe to where you want it and then check the underneath pipe to see if removing some will correct the spacing....

that all said....maybe I didn’t have all the pipe connections totally inserted to where they bottomed out..... without cutting the under pipe my clearance would have been wrong.
