150mph without suit case muffler?

I am going to be reworking my exhaust a little and was thinking about putting a couple of vbands a couple feet behind there turbos so I can drop most of the exhaust on max effort days.

Do I need to worry about the big void where the muffler sits when I am at high speed?

I don't think you NEED to worry, but not having something there is definitely gonna affect aero a small degree.

I know ZL1 addons is making a diffuser and additionally a close out panel for the rear end if you've added aftermarket exhaust. basically to keep the "floor" of the car flat...front to rear.

one could easily fab up a plate/panel to connect to the bumper and another section underneath.

general rule of thumb, every little bit helps

I don't think so either. Should be good to go, its gonna be hard to run 150 in the 1/8th. Ha you need to make some 1/4 miles pass someday before you get to crazy. It would help if your car was a lower and pass more air over the top and not underneath the car. Think about that for this year, lower faster, taller slower its just physics. Its probably why my car has more mph then other cars with more mods and hp. I just like em low also.
