@Turbosling , @[email protected] people need assistance. @Vmax you will be taken care of, trust me, better yet, trust Alpha. They were very busy the last month with custom build deadlines and SSITS. They are a small group of guys.

I also have the rattle and it seems to an internal issue. Probably the internal flap that opens and closes to increase or decrease pressure thus changing the sound characteristics.

Our current solution is to remove the mechanism and spray a little bit of wd-40 onto the gear shaft. Afterward, put Loctite on the three bolts and reinstall the mechanism. If you experience further issues, please contact us.

@varanog we have a few in testing right now. If the issues resolves then we will have them back up soon.

@Darrink at the moment we only had two new revision to test. I am positive these will work alot better then the last design.

Progress?

We are waiting on the product to arrive so we can process them and send them out.

They made a revision to their muffler from ball bearing to spring. We were informed that the change would have no effects even with the placement of the muffler being close to the header. After multiple issues and problems, they admitted that the heat from the placement of the muffler had caused premature failure of the muffler system. So they are sending us new mufflers to replace our current ones. These mufflers are coming from Austria which is why there's a long delay. We do not have tracking of the product when it leaves the shoreline but only an estimated time of arrival which we were told sometime this month.

So how widespread is this issue? Is it possible that it happens to most of them, but people aren't reporting / noticing it? I find it weird that when you look at reviews on Slingmods, no mention of this issue, and almost every review is five stars.... I'm about to buy one of these from someone else.... don't want to buy a flawed product....????

This issue was noticeable on our last batch, which only a few was sold. We stop sell and production of the remainder from the batch.

I just "pre-dented" the exhaust with blunt hammer at the bolt location you have pictured. I still have a rattle that comes and goes which I think is internal? A couple of taps on the key fob cures it most of the time. If I recall the valve is variable, hence some rattle in it when partially open/closed.

I ordered this last week as "preorder" on slingmods website it says estimated ETA end of this month, Sept 30, 2016. Sure hope it doesn't have any problems.... I don't want to install it but once.

Our first batch and the newest batch should not have this issue. We have yet to receive the new batch.

Good news!!!!! Muffler is here we are in production. Expect your new exhaust soon; we are making them and shipping them out.

Once we have stock, I will update your store site.

I too have the rattling issue. I'm up in Canada though

I'll keep an eye on this thread and see how it pans out and what the solution is... Hoping I am able to fix it here without having to go without the sling for a couple weeks/months to send the muffler in.
