Anyone have problems installing their alpha side exit exhaust? The pipe on mine is rubbing against the heat shield ring on the top and against the plastic piece where it exits underneath. I have emailed @slingmods to get suggestions from them (and they gave me something to try), but was wondering if anyone on here had any. I've tried turning the pipe, but nothing seems to help. Thanks for the suggestions in advance.

Some people have had a problem with leaks around the stock hose clamps. Take a better look at the location of the leak before you move the SS the next time. Drivers side sounds like you might have moved the top radiator hose on the install of the CAI. Good Luck
Thanks, I kinda of thought that it may have been a hose when installing the CAI, but like I said, can't find any evidence of it besides on the floor. I'll look at the clamps more closely. I'm waiting on my exhaust still so it hasn't even been started for a couple weeks.

Well in light of the new information that's for sure coolant. Next is to get a flashlight and find your leak.
I did, looked all over with the flashlight. Wasn't an active leak, so I couldn't see where it came from. It's like it leaked straight to the floor, didn't hit anything on the way down. I looked this morning also, and no puddle. It leaked, stopped, and left no other evidence.

Well was it green? If it's green and tastes sweet it's antifreeze. You'll need to check around the radiator and the coolant hoses to find the leak.
No, it was pinkish. It smelled sweet and was like a oily water. Didn't taste it...not my cup of tea.

Oh, and puddle wasn't very big, and more so on the driver's side.

You didn't poke a hole in the radiator screwing in the new air box did you?
Not that I'm aware of. What would have poked the hole?

So I installed my Alpha CAI on sunday. I took my time, reading the directions and watching the install video. Did everything like in said/showed. On Monday my husband was helping me install the after market steering wheel, so we pushed the SS back a little and I noticed a puddle on the garage floor that looked like coolant fluid. Can't find where it came from...looked all over. So any ideas? Want to make sure nothing in messed up....so please help.

Did you get the wheel on ?
Not yet, stock doesn't want to come off. We have a pulley but the bolts are to big so we are having to rig it. Was going to work on it tonight but now sitting in er with son who got slammed to the ground at school and might have a concussion. Not fun.
-
Have you ever pulled a wheel?
No, but I do have a wheel pulley and my husband.

Planning on installing my detachable steering wheel this week, preferably before the weekend. The first one will be the my detachable steering wheel. I have the NRG short hub adapter, NRG 3.0 quick release, and the NRG flat bottom steering wheel.....any tips for a quick, flawless install? How about hooking up the horn? Just hoping you pros can help help out a rookie just starting on her mods. Next to come this week, 1320 Header, Alpha Side Exit exhaust, and Alpha CAI.

So heartbreaking to read about this accident and loss! And though I may not know you, my thoughts and prayer's are with you Pam and your family as you go through this difficult time of losing your husband, best friend, loved one and also dealing with your own recovery. Our deepest sympathies!!!

It would help but no, it's not something you HAVE to do for the changes you're making.
Thanks! Just want to make sure I won't be messing anything up!!

I'm getting ready to install the 1320 Header with the Alpha side exit exhaust this next week. My hubby said I could also get the Alpha CAI.....so my question is, do I need to have the computer flashed and the slingshot tuned? Looking for insight!
-
Any opinions on the Bassani or 1320 exhaust at slingmods.com? Need a new exhaust for my 2015 Slingshot.

@Sully, I'm loving that exhaust.....who did it and how much?

Just wanted to say "hi" ladies from a fellow female slingshot owner in California (as evidenced by my username). However, my husband likes to drive it more than his harley!!! Need to get a personalized license plate stating it's not his....any plate ideas?
