With a little help from Steve Schwing and Steve Cherry (thanks for picking up the part!), I was able to add a cosmetically pleasing vent ring to my Borla 180Q exhaust system this morning.

Pretty straight forward mod, but nice IMHO.

too bad you went from 80mm exhaust to 60mm exhaust.

looks good but I would not want a smaller exit than the exhaust itself

Not true! The Borla has an internal pipe. With ring, the negative differential is almost zero.

Default Glen - at first I thought you were really going to leave the plastic vents on...

So if you turn the ring 90deg. does it reduce the emissions by 100%?
