Default Borla, Headers, ORYP, what plate?

What plate do you guys think sounds best with the Borla catback? I like it being open but I'm not liking the rasp I get from 2-2.5k

That rasp with the open plate is RIDICULOUS. i ran mine with a fully closed plate and really liked the sound. The open plate at WOT sounds awesome though

I have had mine open for a while and just put a electric cut out in place and think that is the best solution. You can run it however you want it whenever you want it.

I've had borla for three years and have been running open plate ever since. Even now that I have headers its awesome. I've got a catted y though which helps but my exhaust is actually not loud enough for my tastes. The only thing you need to do to eliminate that rasp is just push the pedal down a little bit further!! But like stated earlier in the thread, just get a e-cutout and be done with it.

I started with the open plate and have worked my way down to the smallest plate. The rasp is not as bad,and still sounds great at wot. I may try and experiment with a custom size plate that is smaller and hear what it sounds like. The closed plate was to quiet for me.
