Everyone including a dive buddy is recommending DRIS so I will call them Monday and send it to them. Thanks everyone!

DRIS is actually my LDS. They do great work.
 
This model suit can't have a SLT system installed because the back zipper is too close to the neck seal, per the shop I bought it from. I once replaced a neck seal on an old DUI CF200 crushed neoprene dry suit and it was no fun either.

Yep--

When the SLT was on option on the Fusion Sport/Tech/Bullet suits, that is the response I got from Aqualung regarding installation on the Fusion One, and therefore what I would pass along to my customers. But I have asked that very same question of DRIS in the past and they said they could, except perhaps not on smaller sizes. That's why I say it may affect a manufacturer warranty, since Aqualung's stance is that it would be an aftermarket modification.

Still it doesn't hurt to ask, and I am confident that by now they either have multiple successful past installations to go by, or a couple of resounding failures that they have learned from. Either way I am sure that it no longer a theoretical. And I think they have a more flexible version of the SiTech neck ring than the older one Aqualung has been installing, (barring any recent change) so that might also make a difference. That is the one they added to my original Bullet that only came with the SLT cuffs.
 
The SITech Quick Neck is the newer, more flexible neck ring.
