How to remove or change side pipe restrictor plates

Tools needed. 15MM wrench and 15MM socket and ratchet(I used a deep well so I wouldnt have to use an extension)

Step one raise vehicle I used a set of car ramps from the front or rear I choose the front this time

Step two remove the two nuts at the flange and the bolt that holds the tip near the rocker panel edge

Step Three remove the side pipe assembly

Step four remove stock restrictor plate (if not installing a different sized plate skip to step six)

Step five install new sized restrictor plate (3/4" plate shown in picture)

Step six re install side pipe by first slipping over studs on flange then threading the rear bolt and loosely tighten bolt and nuts. check clearance you should be able to get you hand around the pipe from front to back adjust as necessary. Once clearance is good tighten all nuts and bolt down and recheck clearance.

Step seven repeat steps one-six for opposite side then lower vehicle and you are done. now wasnt that easy?

Super easy to remove the plates. When I took mine off, I'd say 1/2 cup of water poured out of each side.

I have a set of 3/4" plates I use for db restrictive tracks.

I cut a small line from the hole to the lower edge of the plates to allow moisture to drain.

That sounds like the best of both worlds! NFSBOSS...you might want to consider that for your next evolution of plates.

I'll check into it but it's probably not going to happen if it drives the price up much.

I installed my 5/8" plates today. I then went for a test drive. There are moments that I think they may be just a bit too loud and other times that I don't hear the exhaust quite enough - so I figure they must be just about right.

I took mine out 2nd day I bought it. I don't remember what it use to sound like.

NSFSBoss-

Can you send me the paypal address to order these with? Also what are the sizes available?

3/4" install was worth the effort. The sound is amazing and I don't think it's too loud while cruising. A nice cheap mod, the perfect kind!

I'm glad you like them. I think all owners should have at least two sets of different sizes.

Yep, they're the next best thing to a set of electric cutouts - set them on the fly according to your mood! ;D

But I bought some plates before the cutouts so did my part to support NFSBoss.
