all the performance suggested to stay away from true duals with the v10
I figured the 4" catback would suffice. I was also considering shorty headers since one stud is broken

Charlie, do you want the radiator hose support on your bracket? I would like to give kudos to charlie for really helping me out with this build. I wouldn't have been able to start it up or build 1/2 the parts I have so far without his help. I am ready to meet you guys, would be nice to find a track close by to try them out. I wanna see how myFx4's 4V does.

About 60 miles from me. Track isn't the best and its uphill, but would be fun.

As far as a track, there's a NHRA sanctioned track about 1.45 hours from me. I'll check to see if they're running the weekend of the meet. Pinks has been there a few times and it's right down the road from my builder's shop.
