90% of people with that exhaust just run the open plate anyway. I would suggest you buy an electric cutout, and stick it in there. Adjust the volume at any time.

I would bet that it is the same size as a block off for a 3" or 2.5" cut-out.

ok

take a 3 bolt header collecter flange and trace it out and boom plates thats what i did for my buddy

now i have the orignal plates are you looking for smaller openings that come with the kit.

try this. plate (1) full closed, plate (2) 1.5 inch opening, plate (3) 2.5 inch opeing
and plate (4) is full open (plate 4 is point less because you dont need it, its basicly matchs your 3 inch exhasut opening, i guess borla want to say we have 4 adjustable plates.)

that was what I was getting at. You don't need a borla owner to tell you how to make a plate.

Make them how you want. You can probably be an excellent judge of how loud it will end up being. I would probably just drill them to my likings if it were me.
