System features polished T-304 stainless steel tips. BORLA® Cat-Back™ & Axle-Back exhaust systems feature patented straight-through and multi-core technology to unleash hidden horsepower. Increased exhaust velocity adds power, driving excitement, fuel economy, and the distinctive BORLA® Sound of Power respected by motoring enthusiasts everywhere.
Each system is built from premium T-304-austenitic stainless steel, superior to T-400 series knockoffs (such as 409), to give you the absolute best in performance and durability. Ultra-smooth mandrel bends ensure maximum flow & power, and precision computer-controlled CNC manufacturing ensures an accurate fit.
Best of all, BORLA® stands behind every system with a Million-Mile Warranty. Just what you’d expect from the world’s most experienced (and most winning) exhaust brand.
Cat-Back Systems™
This commonly-used term was actually originated by Borla, who pioneered the concept. "Cat" is motorhead shorthand for "Catalytic Converter." A Borla Cat-Back™ exhaust replaces your entire stock system from the catalytic converters "back” to the tips exiting the bumper. This type of system delivers the most dramatic upgrade in sound, because it includes improvements to virtually all the undercar piping, incorporating Borla’s ultra-smooth mandrel bends, X-Pipe technologies, pipe diameter specs and other characteristics that shape the sound. Borla Cat-Back™ systems are available for a wide variety of popular cars and trucks, and are offered in your choice of sound technologies — ATAK®, S-Type and Touring — each with their own distinct volume and character.
Axle-Back Systems
Unlike our Cat-Back™ systems that replace your complete stock exhaust from the catalytic converters to the tips, a Borla Axle-Back system only replaces the mufflers, rear piping and tips. While this type of system does not give you quite the same full-bodied sound as a Cat-Back™, it is a more affordable solution that still gives you a distinct Borla sound note, with plenty of aggressive punch. As with our Cat-Backs™, Borla Axle-Back systems are available in our ATAK®, S-Type and Touring sound technologies, allowing you to customize your ride with your preference of exhaust volume and character.
American-Made Quality & Innovation
Close to the Pacific shore in Oxnard, California, is the state-of-the-art Borla Research and Development facility, where your exhaust system is designed and fabricated from scratch, engineered to produce the best possible sound for your make and model vehicle. The finished specifications are then sent to our 100-acre manufacturing complex in Johnson City, Tennessee, next to the storied Blue Ridge Mountains. There, your exhaust is cut from raw stainless steel, shaped, assembled, welded and shipped. Together, the Borla family of highly experienced and talented employees are a quintessential example of American ingenuity and quality. We are made in the USA strong.
Choose from Multiple Tip & System Finishes
We believe exhaust tips should complement the lines of your vehicle, add premium motorsport styling, and serve as a strong indicator of a high-performance exhaust upgrade. Borla tips have a bigger diameter than stock. If your bumper has partial “cutouts” over the tips, we fill that space and eliminate weak-looking gaps. Many of our systems offer a variety of options for tip finish, including Carbon Fiber, Black Chrome, Bright Chrome and Ceramic Black. And they’re just as beautiful on the inside. Our “intercooled” design (one of several options) features cooling fins inspired by fighter jets.
High-Performance Borla Valves
Borla exhaust systems are fully compatible with modern vehicles utilizing exhaust valves to conserve fuel and provide cockpit control of driving modes, volume of sound and more. In order to ensure that these valves are properly integrated within the architecture of your vehicle while meeting the demands of a high-flow Borla exhaust upgrade, our engineers spent years testing and refining an improved premium design. Manufactured in the USA under rigorous standards, Borla valves are tuned and optimized to maximize the performance and sound of our exhaust systems, while providing years of driving enjoyment.
It's All in the Cores
ATAK® stands for Acoustically-Tuned Applied Kinetics, an exclusive technology that allows Borla engineers to custom-tune exhaust sound with the precision of a graphic equalizer. Inside ATAK mufflers are multiple solid and perforated tube-shaped cores. Using computer-controlled modeling, the shapes and perforation patterns of the cores are adjusted to produce just the right exhaust note.
Like all Borla exhausts, ATAK systems are built for specific vehicle models, ensuring the volume and character of the sound enhances that vehicle’s distinct personality. ATAK technology is based on Borla’s proven Multicore design, which is responsible for numerous racing wins in high-profile venues from the NHRA to the Baja 1000.
Exhaust sound provides acoustic feedback of engine rpm to aid drivers in critical decisions such as gear selection or throttle input. With unrivaled clarity, a Borla exhaust note empowers you with the sensory feedback of sound to drive smarter.
ATAK exhaust systems produce the highest dB (decibel) levels in the Borla line. Our S-Type option offers a slightly tamer race-bred sound. Drivers who prefer a mild growl that’s just a bit more aggressive than stock can choose Borla Touring sound. Most of our popular systems are available in all three.
