CrimeSScene had one on his Borla. He took it off though, can't remember if he said he still had it or not. You might shoot him a PM and see if he has it for sale.

I got one.... I am at college now and can't produce the pics cuz my baby stays in the garage and doesn't come with me, however what do you mean? do you mean the cutout in the I-pipe (like mine) or the cutout in the adjustable part of it to control openness? I love my cutout, one of my best mods in my opinion

Unless you're putting it like really close to the front of the car, I'd say it's pretty pointless. If you have the plate system Borla, leave out the plate, and if not then you do realize that the passenger side isn't muffled right? It's like having an open cutout all the time since most people mount them sooo close to the back of the car anyway it seems.

im thinkin he means the cut out where the plate normally goes to adjust the "openeness"(sorry dont know the proper term) ive seen it on QTP's website where they have a set up specifically for it and i think it would be cool not having to take apart the exhaust and switch out plates but instead flip a switch and adjust what the plates normally do

Just do it man. It beats having to get under the car and take the bolts off and all the bs. With the Borla specific QTP you open or close from inside the car. Get her done...
