  • Muffler seal seems to need repair or replacement

    Quote from FunCycle

    I am assuming this is an Eco-Tec engine model. The Polaris part number is 3610211 for $30.49. DO NOT order from Polaris you can find it for around $8 on Amazon or E-Bay

    Thank you. Yes I forgot to mention that my Slingshot is a 2016 model.


    Thanks for the part number. I found this information today too, but part #3610211 looks like a solid ring, and what I see on my picture looks like a very soft material, like graphite.


    Or maybe I should use some kind of seal if I replace this part (3610211)?


    I don't understand why there's nothing about that in the service manual! I don't know either if I should remove the catalyst or the muffler to replace the seal.

  • Muffler seal seems to need repair or replacement

    Hello,


    I'm attaching a picture of the seal between the muffler and the pipe coming from the exhaust manifold. It looks like it's getting worn and I'd like to repair/replace it.

    I have the service manual but there's nothing about the exhaust/muffler so I don't know what kind of seal it is, etc.


    Do you guys know what material it is? Or can anyone give me a part number? I was thinking of using some kind of muffler cement but then I realized it may need some flexibility since the muffler is "suspended" to springs. What you think?


    Thanks for your help.

    Ummm... Actually I SUPPOSE the belt needs to be adjusted because it's not in the center of the "wheel" (? Don't know the name) and that makes a noise (more and more annoying). When I manually place the belt in the center of that "wheel" there's no noise anymore but it doesn't take long before it comes back.

    A forum member juste sent me the manual so I'll check that adjustment later this week.

    Just wanted to say hi!


    I have a red 2016 SL since a year now and I love it!


    I made some mods during last winter (SLR-style vinyls, headlamps LEDs, steering wheel cover, shift knob replacement, gas cap replacement, etc.) but now the belt looks like it needs to be adjusted so I need to find a service manual to figure out how to do it...
