You need to change the muffler!!!! It's blue, it doesn't match with the Red LOL

By the way, did you say something?! could almost hear your heartbeat LMAO

 

[BKL]

Are you sure that muffler isn't GREY?

Not at all....it's your eyes playing tricks on you

Looks like Polaris did away with the ugly Ex Manifold shroud.
That is a decent looking stocker manifold.
Or did you remove the shroud SM?

Looks like it was removed. You can see the bolt holes

No Otter, i have not removed anything.

 

[Twinturbostang]

Wow Crazy, you can see the standoffs where it mounts. Wonder why a heat shield wouldn't make the production run?

The one I just saw it at the dealer didn't have the manifold shield as well.

Reminds me of my Spitfire I recently sold... Open the bonnet- hood and BAM.... Everything is there .

Yeah, do you get that excess cabin heat? What about on the passenger side.

Sorry if you already touched on that, it's been a flood of information the past few days!

Hey Kip, I rode with a passenger yesterday through the canyons for several hours. The firewall does heat up on the passenger side. My passenger also mentioned he felt a slight "knock" into the firewall when cornering hard or hitting a bump in the road... it may have been the Exhaust Can slightly hitting the firewall with aggressive driving, or simply flex pop on the firewall panel when it's under load. I should probly pop the hood and check the clearance from the exhaust to the firewall.

And That's the way I like it! The SS should be a joy to work on, something I can't say for any other production car built in the last 30 years. I'm on day 5 of stripping unneeded stuff out of the RX-7 donor car for "What The". It still won't be as simple to work on as the SS when it's done.

Still waiting on the 'I got my SS' call from the dealer.

How about the fumes smell, did you smell fume while stopping?

We're good on the fumes smell. No issue there.

Excellent that's good to hear

Time to put some heat shield on the hood, especially where they removed the heat shield in manifold area.
