Default port your borla

You can grind off a flow restricting section in the first merge of your borla kit. Borla welded two pipes right there and left almost 1-1/2 inches of metal restricting the flow to the passenger side outlet. I took a rotary tool and a grinding stone to it and shaved it to about 1/4 of an inch and it looks so much better. It looks like a split in the exhaust vs. a small hole b/f it hits the muffler. I have not heard it yet but I know it will sound alot deeper from the passenger side....

So you're talking about right after the "y" to the muffler?

it is the y section... the bend which one end bolts to the passenger side outlet, where you can change your restrictor plate. As soon as you look at the peice off the vehicle you will see how restrictive it is.
