    Default New Guy

    Hello, have been riding my RT since last July so I did not have the time to join till it was covered in the garage. I purchased a 2013 RT, red & black, everything I have done to it is to prevent it from going up in flames, so far so good. Dropped the cat in the scrap yard, wrapped the exhaust pipes, K&N air filter, Power Commander PC/FC have not decided yet on an exhaust can sounds good with no cat and the stock can. It was sent though the recall so it already has the air scoopes on the sides. I really enjoy riding the thing as it now runs like a scalded dog.
    Thank You for letting me join, I hope I can meet up and ride with my fellow SpyderLovers.

    seems like the only thing you might need is the right weather for riding

    Welcome Larry.

    Did you also do the evaporative canister delete? It is well worth while on the 998 platform.

    Also, since you're doing the heat delete stuff. On my '08 GS (I had the boiling gas problem too) removing the bottom splash guards underneath helped with the heat a great deal. I would think it's also worthwhile doing it on the RT for the same reasons.

    Really on the 2013 RT, the scoops and the insulation panels was all that was necessary to eliminate the heat issue! The others mods may provide some better performance!
