    In side view that mount looks close to the ideal layout. A great
advertisement for
    the plate mount also. What will the muffler look like inside? I am using
a Borla
    stainless steel pack with a 4" ID. it is getting us under 100 DB at 50
feet with the
    meter on the drivers side and the outlet on the passenger side. The meter
is 50'
    from the track and located where the car will be at low speed and at full
throttle.
