Ehaust Plate for XLR-V

Is anyone interested in a polished stainless steel exhaust plate for their V?
I have a source locally that will make them for $175, but we would need to order at least ten so he can send them out to be cut. He will make them separately for $250+ tax.
it's 3/16 and shaped like a T, but imagine the top longer and the bottom fatter to fit in between the exhaust. All corners are rounded. It goes in over the top of the exhaust and wedges down between the inner exhaust pipes. It's rock solid but you could tack weld it just to be on the safe side. I made the pattern for it, so blame me if it doesn't fit.
I bought a V badge ($45) which I will put in the middle of the part between the pipes, as I did on my windbaffle.
Will post pics this weekend. If you can't find add ons, you have to take the bull by the horns.:cheers

We had trouble getting 5 people to order racing pedals, so I don't expect you'll get 10 'V' owners together on exhaust plates :nodno

We should all continue the efforts to get group or forum discounts on anything we buy though.

with the Borlas on my car, an exhaust plate is not an option

May I ask what the borlas cost? Didn't know they made them.

actually they don't make them specifically for the XLR, They used my car for a few weeks to develop the prototype for the XLR, but were never able to get anyone to commit to 25 units to make a minimum production run. They gave me the system (and one for my truck) at no charge for the use of my vehicle. I took them off my '04 XLR and put them on my V.

Neat. Any drone at any speed?

that's a little disapointing.........on the XLR there was NO drone at anytime, but on the V, the drone at cruising speed is "reasonable".
Sound is otherwise fantastic
