  • Guess where I have been

    Quote from rabtech

    I live in Haleyville which is just a 45 minute ride thru the Bankhead Forest from ya. I ride over that way all the time...


    You should message me if you want to meet up sometime... I will have the Slingshot out this weekend for sure...

    New at this forum thing and don't use social media so not sure if this site has that capability. I will be around this weekend if you swing through.

    I see in your picks that your exhaust is low, down by the swing arm. Mine comes up by the license plate which may account for the extend of fumes I am getting. I like the idea of adding D-mod fins and a wind restrictor to see if that helps. I hate the idea of changing my windshield back to the original height.

    I will post picks this evening when I get home.

    My F4+5 windshield isn't adjustable so I may need to reinstall my factory one to test the issue with the fumes.


    If all else fails guess I will just remove the Y pipe and install a turndown pipe right where the exhaust exits by the battery box.

    thanks for the info I wish I had known it before I spent $2,200. MiM I'll keep you in mind if I decide to sell. I love the way everything looks so I've got to try to create some other options.

  • Side panel removal needed?

    no need to remove the passenger seat if you're patient. I would recommend completely removing the panel. There's only a difference of about 4 screws between flexing it and taking it off and those for fairly easy to get to near the rear of the panel

    I installed the same Welter performance exhaust after I had it ceramic coated. I also love the way it looks and the way it sounds however I am having some issues. I am getting heavy exhaust fumes inside my cabin area. I also have the F4 + 5 window installed, a Twist Dynamics top, and the alpha carbon fiber wing. I believe the taller windshield is creating a vacuum in my cabin area and the wing is pushing the air up off of the back of the slingshot creating a vacuum under the back where the exhaust is. This vacuum is causing the exhaust to roll over the deck right into my cabin area. It almost makes my slingshot unbearable to drive. This really sucks because of the price of the parts and having it coated I have about $2,200 invested in this modification and I'm thinking I almost have to take it off.


    Update: Conducted some tests, here is what I discovered. I made a temporary wind screen and attached to the roll hoops, on test drive fumes were reduced at lower speeds and nonexistent at normal speed. Removed the windscreen reinstalled the factory windshield, fumes are gone. Guess I will run the lower windshield until my windscreen comes in.

  • Side panel removal needed?

    I installed the welter performance dual exhaust out the back about a week ago I'm getting real bad gas fumes inside the cabin now. I have a F4 + 5 window installed, a Twist Dynamics top and the alpha carbon fiber wing. The combination of those three items may be creating a vacuum in the cabin causing this to happen. Really sucks because the price of the system plus the price of having it ceramic coated I'm $2,200 into this modification and can't stand to drive my SS now.
