while it is out, lose those heavy side mufflers and put back the center section muffler. Tons of weight savings as well as removing heat from the rear tires.

Ditto
Contact Eddie for an M&M side muffler bypass and center section.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it... I don't have the center section. The car came like this when I bought it.
