Not to hijack the thread but what's the biggest size deckplate that works with our stock box (3.4L)? I've seen posts with 4", and 6" diameter beckson plates but wasn't 100% positive. Size matters.

i've heard of people with a 6". I believe if oyu go above 4", the cutting gets a little harder as you're cutting into certain other parts of the airbox that are thicker or have more support.

I went with 5"
That'll be the best size but a little harder to find. The 6" deckplates will look awkward on the airbox. You can still get your airtight seal but the exterior ring will portrude out the side, IIRC.
