You ever remove stock manifold without removing side panel. Sure looks like you could just unbolt stock muffler from manifold and swap out without removing it.
New Welter exhaust going in next month

would a semi lock loctite work on threads or be recommended.

Man that was fast, thx a bunch. I watched Slingmods install and it looks pretty easy. Looks like the most work is taking off the side panels
-
On the 1320 header there is an extra oxygen sensor port. Do I just block it off with supplied bolt? Why is it port there?

Race Deck flooring will imprint right into the molded square tiles for a flooring project. Pricey I'm sure but would look badass.
This is just a quick example but check out their website -
I will shoot some this weekend with my nicer camera maybe by the water.

LOVE, the looks of this spoiler. Just finished the install. Got the New Tric Led headlights swapped out too.

Could you elaborate on the sentence in red?
I am reading that to say that sometimes when you are slowing down approaching a stop light that the transmission will "kick" out of 3rd gear into neutral.
If I am understanding that correctly that is an indication that there is a problem with the synchronizer for 3rd gear. You should have your dealer check that out immediately if not sooner and it should be covered under warranty. Definitely get that taken care of before doing ANY mods.
oh no not that, lets say you down shift from rth to 3rd then to 2nd, throw it neutral, sometimes it bogs down to like 500 rpm but quickly recovers. Feels like it will almost stall at times depending on rpms when I place in neuteal. No big deal really but threw it out there since I was speaking of exhaust mod.
Thx -
That stutter is normal on the stock tune. Do you plan on taking the sling back to the dealer for the 500 mile service. If so, I would take it for a ride to get to 500 miles, service it, then mod it.
Some dealers are a pain with mods.- I'm around 400 miles right now, was planning on servicing myself at 500. Hate people scratching up my rides plus I just feel better doing the work myself.
- I was planning on oil change/Mobil1- K&N filter, drain and fill angle drive with Royal Purple. Do you think to soon for either product? Also is there anything else I should be concerned about at 500 miles for maintenance?

Just know that your ECU may act a little weird at first as it "learns" the new intake & exhaust flow - after about 3 runs (take some short, 5-10 mile runs, shut it down, then do it again) it should be fine
I was wondering the same thing. I received the 1320 header today and will get it installed soon. Then the Welter duals go on next month. I should be at the 500 mile breakin period this week, hopefully not too soon to do heaader and exhaust.
One thing I noticed with factory setup in my 18SLR is when coming to a light I will sometimes throw in neutral from 3rd gear. Depending on what my rpms are it will bog down like its going to stall then catch itself and maintain a good idle. -
I haven't seen a new Joe video in awhile, dude cracks me up.
Revieved a bunch of goodies today from Slingmods. Looking forward to getting it all installed. -
thx for the detailed response.

- I was thinking of picking up a Scorpion Exo GT920 modular for highway cruising and bug nights down here in FLA. Pretty cool looking and about 210$
-
I have Allstate, just added the 18 SLR for $325 per year. Full coverage 500 coll. 100 comp.
No uninsured motorist as it only covers medical. Not needed. -
going to be 84 today, breezy

I have read a few threads about purchasing a service manual and doing service yourself.
That is my intention. Do you guys think manual is really needed. It looks like nice step by step pics and video are out there for oil changes and angle drive fluid change.
If there are other key things to to do on our own how about scanning key pages of the manual
From what I gather K&N oil filter
Mobil1 oil
Royal Purple gear oil foir drive.
Grease gun for fitting under the cup holder. ( if I need it for 2018) not sure.
Anyways, thx for a great forum. Glad to have signed up. -

got the Slingmods Optima Bracket on its way and ordered a Yellow top. Best I found online$ was Bigtimebattery for 239.98 free shipping and no tax
-
I don't see any shock upgrades on your list...new shocks are the way to go!
Not yet, I would have bought the Slr Le with the Bilsteins but wanted the Orange Madness Color. Looks like an easy swap to do some JRIs or the Bilsteins. Probably down the road.

I watched the install video from SlingMods on this exhaust system and I noticed that the exiting Y pipe comes very close to the Optima battery. If any of you are running this set up please chime in and let me me know what you think about that issue or non issue in your opinion.
