Rinehart does not recommend their DBX 45 for Limited models?
Im going to look at a 2021 RG Limited for sale on Tuesday running Rinehart True Duals, and DBX45 slip ons. It also has an SE air cleaner and SE tuner.
Wondering why Rinehart recommends against running the DBX 45s, and instead recommends the 40s. I sent them a message, and will call tomorrow if I dont hear back by email after lunch.
Wondering if it is just fitment issues, or engine/performance concerns.
Talked to Rinehart today. Its just due to fitment issues.
If not installed properly, meaning yanking the slip-ons hard to each side before tightening clamps and brackets when installing, theyll rub the axle nut and possibly swing arm.
Which is why they recommend their 4 offering versus the 4.5 slip-ons for Limiteds.
