Had some time today after my post processing of the scan data to get one of these ideas out and rendered on Solidworks. More than likely aftermarket exhausts will not be using all 3 outlets so rather than having that opening either in the center or on the outsides this addresses that.
This is JUST the passenger side block off. I will be doing both the center and the drivers side. Since It is not super visible in my renders, there are 2 OEM clips that I have integrated into this to mount on the lower portion and the top inside section would be held in place with a single self tapping screw that is completely hidden. There will be a small foam piece that goes around the outside of the area that is fitting into the exhaust cutout and im leaning towards 3D printing them and sanding and painting.
I will be getting a sample made asap and as soon as my car arrives I will be able to get some test fitting done.
Here is a render of the center block off. I am still working on it but this one will probably not be recessed since it does not have the same design in the diffuser. My gut tells me this will be the more widely used one when it comes to aftermarket exhausts being designed.
updated latest post with fitment!
Teaser though 😉

test fitted 16ga aluminum blockoffs. Need to find some better foam edging but fitment is right where I wanted it.
