Thanks for the photos, Chris. It appears that our exhaust systems are virtually identical.
Now that I look at these photos I see why you can fold your wings and I can't fold mine without removing the muffler. The aft end of the Slingshot, because it is a tandem seat arrangement is much narrower than the side-by-side seating arrangement. Therefore the pivot points on the wing fold hinges are much closer together and inboard of the outer ends of the muffler. When you fold the wings the aileron torque tubes rise well above the muffler bottom. If the hinge points and torque tubes are outboard of the muffler ends they will clear the muffler. On the narrower SS the folded wings are much closer together and thus interfere with the muffler when folded.

Chris,
I forgot to post a photo of my muffler. Here it is before I had the prop refinished. The prop is now natural color with polyurethane coating with inlaid leading edge protection instead of that peel-away-in-the-rain black coating shown in this photo.
