Exhaust fumes

[YumaJim]

Had the performance package and Two Brothers Exhaust installed while at Spyderfest. Really like the performance, sound and improved gas mileage. I seem to have more exhaust fumes that I smell while ryding. Is this common? I didn't notice it with the stock exhaust. I've added 2500 miles since installed and still smell the fumes.:dontknow::dontknow::dontknow:

The stock exhaust kicks the outlet down a bit, so the fumes flow a little differently. You are probably getting more back in the backdraft. The only solution I can think of would be to add Baker Air Wings to adjust the air flow a bit.

I did have the Baker Air Wings installed at Spyderfest. I'll play with them tomorrow and see if it helps by changing their direction. Thanks.

Like Scotty said, the large windshield on the RT creates a lot of negative pressure in the riding area. Everything has good and bad aspects. The new exhaust may not get the fumes quite far enough back for them to escape the envelope you create going down the road.

Hopefully the Baker Wings will help.

Also don't forget that an aftermarket exhaust does not contain a catalytic converter.

Nor does the stock muffler on the RT. different setup than the RS.

I assumed the OP had an RS. Not too many RT owners go for a performance exhaust.

That's a changin' my friend!

The RT performance package that Len (Pitbull) developed is now on a lot of RTs!

I love mine!

A catalytic converter does not necessarily reduce odor. In some cases it increases it.

More than you might think, it is part of Cowtowns RT performance package. Many of us have had it done.

i had noticed the exhaust fumes even before the change. the 2010 i think is more evident than the 11 and 12 models, BRP changed the lower wind deflectors on the later years models.
Some have people removed these lower defflectors and said it helped, i am considering getting another set and doing some modifications to try and address this issue. My air wings help but do not eliminate the fumes and can be chilling in the cold!

Exhaust Fumes

I assumed the OP had an RS. Not too many RT owners go for a performance exhaust.

I finally decided to have the Performance Package installed at Spyderfest on my RT, the soonest Cowtown could get it done was on Sunday after the close of SF. They stayed open for several people who either needed some service work or an install done. What a great example of customer service. The package has provided me with better performance, cool sound & improved mileage.

A catalytic converter does not necessarily reduce odor. In some cases it increases it.

With rich fuel conditions, high sulfur gas, and/or a cold or malfunctioning converter you can indeed get that characteristic rotten egg smell, but in general a properly functioning catalytic converter will significantly reduce many typical exhaust smells and toxic emissions including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen.

Leave it to Len to come out with something new and innovative for the Spyder. Nice! :thumbup:

Time for SpyderPops to dream up a little "wickerbill" to move air past the saddlebag and get the fumes out into he airstream. Folks complain about the factory muffler, but as you can see, a lot of thought went into it.

 

[spyder3]

I have the performance package and don't smell any fumes at all. Also have the air wings installed but haven't used them s of yet to push air to the riders.:dontknow:Where are these fumes coming from that don't get caught in the airstream?

Smell

When I had the two brothers put on, it took about a month for most often smell to fade.
