Your vert is about 100 lbs heavier than the Challenger, and cat back and cia is only good for a couple hp. You will not loose that extra 100 lbs with new exhaust.

Drivers race ...

According to Edmunds.com his curb weight is 4,082 lbs. Mine is 4,114 with the stock exhaust. The new exhaust is significantly lighter as I picked them both up. He was 372hp stock and I was 400. He has the intake as do I, but I have the exhaust. It might not be 3 car lengths, but if we ran each car 3 times for ET, mine should be quicker. I'll see how we do heads up against the tree.

You can do things to help yourself....air down your rear tires to 27 psi or so...the track should have an airline to pump them up after. Traction control off stability Trac as well. Sport mode.... footbrake up to at least 1200 rpm....although 1000 rpm is do able. As said leave on the last yellow.

Thanks Ron. When I turned the stability software off and punched it she spun the tires for at least 40 yards before I lifted. Will the air down and better surface keep me from spinning the tires?

You will have better traction for sure....but your still on street tires so spinning is unavoidable. Now your not going to set any records so just go out and ebjoy it......remember how I told you once you go the first time....theres a second...third and so on.

Oh well, since it's not an axle back.... but a full cat back. Heck, you should dust him. LOL. Still just a sound choice

Stock heavy exhaust with giant resonator:



Stock anchors, I mean mufflers:



Full stainless Borla with X-pipe and small mufflers:
