XFlow V4 question

[Laker]

on a V4 can I cut out the This bridge in the exhaust path?
Its a huge restriction.
Will an epoxy hold up here?
What is the down side to doing it on a lake motor?
Will she still cool ok?
Thanks
Chris

I streamlined the path a lot on my old 135, but I know from experience that the bridge there is a structurally stressed component of the block, and if you remove too much material, you will weaken the block. :cool:
