Default Anyone actually prove hp differences between Borla plates?

Just wondering if anyone has actually dyno'd with Borla block off plate vs other diameter holes in the plates with a cam or h/c car. My goodness what a difference the sound is, but I know we often equate louder with faster. I remember going to the track and swapping them out years ago and not seeing much difference. Thanks!

I'd like to know this too. I think when my cam was installed they tuned it with the block off plate on the Borla and dynoed 391hp. I'm wondering if it would be possible to hit 400 with it fully open.

Nevermind, just did a search (amazing how that works) and found my answer. There is hardly a difference at all. That muffler must flow pretty damn good! Noise though is greatly reduced with the full plate installed.

Take your air filter out.... you'll be darn close to 400.
