@Ghost it seems a lot of people here have negative opinions for absolutely no reason other than they have nothing better to do with themselves. This thread has turned into nothing but assumptions from people who have no interest in the product, and don’t know Jamie, yet just want to talk shit.

Regardless what his social media platform is, he does a lot for the Slingshot community, so why all of the hate? ... Haters.

The fact is, I spoke with Jamie on the phone yesterday evening and had a great conversation about his A/C design amongst other things.

I don’t believe it’s my place to talk about his progress other than that he told me he’s had to do a lot of revisions to it, does not want to release an unfinished product, and expect something to be out in the near future. I feel very confident in what is to come, and appreciate the strive for perfection that Jamie’s got going with this project.

Good lesson for you...

Not sure what you’re referring to, but okay

I didn’t expect my post the other day wondering what came of the A/C idea to turn into such a mess. I appreciate those of you who know Jamie who actually gave updates. I’ve never heard of him before I found this post (being new to the community), but glad to see he’s still rocking and rolling with the Slings.

Seeing one of his previous posts, I was able to follow him on Instagram and Facebook and reached out to him. In doing so, I got to appreciate all the custom work he’s done on Slingshots and the immense attention to detail. Again, “brilliant” is the word that comes to mind.

He nearly immediately got back to me with his phone number and offered for me to give him a call to talk about it, which I plan on doing sometime this week.

I don’t doubt it. His work is brilliant to say the least.

@edwardaneal our body temps just differ. While you feel 75-95 is ideal, my ideal is 55-75 lol and will wear shorts until it hits the 40’s... hence those 90 degree days, I tend to keep the Slingshot in the garage. A/C will help alleviate that, so I’m reaching out, hoping for a solution!

meh! I live in Palm Springs CA over 100 every day for 4 months of the year, 109 right now. I also ride my Sling every day, its my daily driver and I don't even have a top - - - - - AC? meh - not interested - - its a friggin motorcycle for God's sakes

I don’t consider a Slingshot a motorcycle regardless what they’re legally classified as. It’s more car than anything else.

With all of my sport bikes, I can ride in full leathers and be fine, however, in the Slingshot with a tank-top and shorts, I’m sweating balls any day over 85*F.

Regardless of personal opinions, I’d install an A/C in mine because why not be as comfortable as I want, I just am wondering if this ever came to fruition or if @oneshot dropped the idea.

Not being a wussy, but would definitely install an A/C to be more comfortable on those hot summer days

What’s good? @oneshot

What ever came of this?

Got a set from a used Slingshot!

I know this is an old thread but just installed red pearl center panels and they will not stay “clipped” down.

May have to go the Velcro route? 3M double sided tape just keeps peeling and won’t hold it down.

The “clips” or “tabs” are So USELESS!

Just swapped out the cheap looking plastic panels on my 2017, with some red pearl panels ... however, in doing so, I noticed how poor the panels are actually held on, which leads me to my problem that my new panels are not staying “clipped” in.

I replaced the double sided tape with new tape in the same spots which has done absolutely nothing ... so I’m looking for ideas?

That exhaust looks legit! Someone should manufacture something similar. Looks cool, and as you said, the function also makes it worth it

I can’t believe their over-abundance of engines persuaded them to not make any significant changes to the Slingshot.

They could’ve easily done a new generation externally and internally and keep the LE9 and then change over the engine in 2020 or what not. (Look at the Mustang before the 5.0 for example)

Not complaining though, it keeps all of our Slingshots relevant.

Absolutely brilliant and much needed mod! Do you know how much they’ll run $?

My 2017 SL does the same thing! Going to the dealer on Wednesday and going to have them check it out

Haven’t really gotten to drive it much, however, I’m surprised that I don’t notice any difference in exhaust tone. I guess it’s because this is the first vehicle I installed a header before an aftermarket exhaust but I guess it is what it is lol

Took about 10 minutes of maneuvering to get it into place. Not bad at all, much better than removing the whole side and exhaust.

Didn’t even unclip the exhaust spring.

Total time was 1.5 hours from start to finish. Glad I went this route!

Awesome .. had a half hour yesterday before I picked up the kids so I managed to get the stock manifold out. Seemed maybe too easy lol

If the 1320 header goes in as easy as the stock manifold came out, it’ll make my day! ... To be determined

I know this is an old thread but tackling the 1320 header install this Friday, and after watching the video, was really dreading needing to take the whole side panel off.

Glad to hear others did it without removing the side. Going to try installing it from the top.

Looks good! Where’d you get the kit from?
