WV doesn’t do any emissions testing, and part of the build involves increasing power to make better pulse/glide length ratio, so I planned on a cat delete and upgraded exhaust... in addition, I can have the exhaust guy take special care to tuck the pipe up tight to the underbody and my new muffler is flatter than the stock one, so I should be able to make a nicer rear diffuser without having to cut out around part of the muffler...
