The great dealer? A spyderlovers site sponsor...
Sponsor of SpyderPaloosa (Do you have your raffle tickets... proceeds to benefit a wounded warrior with a track chair?
Thanks so much!!
Don't wait, I highly doubt BRP will be doing anything about the exhaust system especially for the ST owners, they are replacing the side panels and that's their fix for most owners, buy the CAT Bypass from Pitbull Powersports, you won't believe the difference it makes

I installed mine too BUT was able to keep the old panels.
BTW the dealers are given 18 minutes to install the replacement panels.

It took my dealer about an hour or so to install my new panels. I was the first one he converted over. AT one point he went out and looked at a 2014 that was on the floor. But i was ok with that he took his time and did it right.

It also took our dealer an hour to replace the panels on our STL and it was the first one they ever did as well. They did keep the old panels. This is standard practice with all warranty work for any vehicle.

Happy!
I took a chance on a great deal on a 2013 STS knowing about the heat issues. One email to BRP and then a case number to my dealer. I will have the new panels done on my 600 mile service next week. All is good and looking forward to a cooler seat/ leg area. If I did not read this forum I would have never known BRP was doing this under warranty...thanks all for making this forum a place for learning!!

Ya, this forum is fantastic. Lots of great information on here. We did the same thing. We bought our STL with the thinking that we would buy the new panels for our Spyder and low and behold BRP did it for us....with the help of fellow Spyderlovers like Flamingobabe giving them a good swift kick in the behind.

No aftermarket air filter right?
No on the filter, I did however add alot of heat shielding before BRP replaced my panels. The only added shielding no longer in place is on the new panels.

They are indeed ... after replacing the panels for we first three (LOL did that even make sense? ), and making sure it is a viable fix, BRP is stepping up exponentially ... it's like night and day. KUDOS ...

I am still waiting for reimbursement by BRP for my 2014 panels as well, plus the 2 hours of labor for the installation. I am so glad to see that so many people are getting this done now. Hope I hear from them soon too.

18 minutes installation for new 2014 panels? Seriously?

Seriously? 18 minutes? I was charged 2 hours labor ($196.00) for the installation of my 2014 panels. This was done just before I got word that several Ladies had finally gotten BRP to replace their panels under warranty. I am now requesting BRP do the same for me.

Got the new panels installed. Dealer has to keep and return old panels to BRP. Bike MAY be running a little cooler. I say "may" because when I got home it was only 85 degrees so no fuel smell.
Color match is quite close. Magnesium color.
200 mile round trip for the panels.
