Default Borla Exhaust Throttle Plates?
Hey guys, just got my new Borla installed, and I have like 3 throttle plates with it. Do they do anything other than change the sound? I mean do they change the hp/tq at all?

You may gain a little more with the plate with the biggest hole in it. They are more for changing the sound though

No gain other than sound, not my car.

Lose the plates.....except for the full block off plate for when you get inspected.

I just run open plate, I like it. With bolt-ons it sounded good and wasnt loud. With cam in my car the whole tone changed, def got loud. I dont mind it though
