New SOLO smart car exhausts are coming

[SmartMadness]

Hello everyone!

We wanted to give everyone a little advance notice on some upcoming SOLO exhausts. Here is what is currently in production and should be available in about 2-3 weeks.

A new Center Dual Tip SOLO exhaust
A new Center Oval Tip SOLO exhaust
A new Side exit exhaust with a chrome tip

All these exhaust will feature a full 6" flex pipe just like the OEM unit!

The side exhaust is very, very quiet and is perfect for someone who wants a little extra performance, but at the same time wants a unit that makes very little noise and no drone.

The new center exhausts will feature a new resonator that will work with the new 6" flex pipe and makes 30% less sound than the original SOLO! Once again with NO DRONE!

We will have pictures up in the next couple of days.

Thank you again for your continued support.

what was wrong with the original exhuast?

[WhiteNBlack08]

The same thing that's wrong with the DT V2 system. Not enough isolation from engine movement and vibration. I remember last year when the first aftermarket exhausts were released, everybody talked about how the exhaust really didn't need a stainless flex joint. Now look a year+ later and almost everybody is using one to get their exhausts to live for any amount of time. A slip joint or ball joint does not isolate the system from vibration and movement. It may be spring loaded, but there is still direct hard contact between the cat & the rest of the system. smart knew this, that's why they put the flex coupling in there, to isolate and dampen vibration transmitted from the engine. Any exhaust developed will need this or sooner or later it's going to fail, or cause the flange on the cat to fail.

Is the side exit model going to exit horizontally below the black portion of the bumper? That would look sweet.

Here are some pics of the new dual tip center exhaust and the side. More to come...

Now 30% more quieter than the original design thanks to a new, larger resonator.

I like that Dual Tip center. Trade ya for a slightly used Evil Twin....
