Bigdog I would definitely like to know the answer to that question myself. For anyone that is wondering what the grey gasket looks like after melting. It turns black when it hits the rear exit exhaust. That's what I saw on mine. After getting my sling back last weekend I brought a temperature gun and can confirm that the exhaust and angle drive were the same temperature. Around 130 after highway driving for about an hour or so. In my opinion I don't think that grey silicone should be melting at that temperature. But if anyone knows the specs on that angle drive silicone please share

EjFord I see what you mean

So FunCycle what your saying is I'm not crazy 😂. This issue almost made me sell my slingshot. If it wasn't for a new set of seats that i just bought and I've been wanting every since i sat in a slr it would have been up for sale. You being one of the first to have the welter and so many miles if anything was happening you would have seen it long ago.

NNEVES57 . Thank you. Do you have any heat wrap or anything on your exhaust towards the end near the angle drive? Im going to put some on mine when i finally get it back. Do you have your silencer in the megaphone tip?

airoutlaw I was leaning towards that same answer myself. I read a few threads where a few owners were saying that the covers weren't sealed correctly. I've talked to 1320 and the said "we have never heard of this before" we would have addressed the issue already. I've never heard of anyone with a welter rear exit exhaust have this issue either. Thanks for the information.

3gunsteve I'll trade you the megaphone tip for the turbo 😂. You might be able to get something from 1320 that will work.

3gunsteve there is a silencer in that tip. There's a allen wrench screw in it that you can't see in the picture. It let's you take the silencer out I think it helps. But full disclosure. I have exhaust (40 series flowmasters on my car) on everything i drive so this is not too loud for me. Is your exhaust custom made?

hey guys sorry just getting a chance to get back to see anyone's response. Thanks to all you have given input so far. Ej i didn't get any pictures because the service guys told me "it's probably nothing serious" 🙄🙄. And since i had the extended warranty i wasn't to concerned. I went to talk with the g.m. after they took my slingshot apart and came to me with this "heat issue." Orangeman would you happen to know what is the rtv that polaris uses on the side cover of the angle drive? Macaws do you have the 1320 or something else that is side exit?

Thanks for the info

Hi everyone. I wanted to ask this question since i didn't see anything in the search. I have a 1320 rear exit side exhaust. My slingshot is currently in the shop because of what the dealer is saying was caused by exhaust heat. Anyone with a rear exit exhaust ever had this happen to you. They are telling me that the silicone grey seal on the side cover is melting where the exhaust runs next to it. And yes polaris denied my extended warranty claim.

Boomer thank you. I truly believe that statement lol. It looks like you have the same color sling as me so I'm pretty sure you have some ideas that you can pass along.

Hello phil. Thanks for the warm welcome. I live in palmetto. Where are you located in Florida?

Hello my everyone. My name is Montrese. I live in Florida. I've owned my slingshot for three years now. It's a 2016.5. I'm always looking for new slingshot owners to meet up with and talk slingshots or do some riding together.
