Beautiful exhaust
Beautiful quality.
I wish I didn’t already have your Borla FOMOCO touring exhaust.
I’m curious.... the sport with the resonator... how does it compare to my touring? Is it louder? Softer? Less Farty?
Thanks
In terms of sound level and tone, our S-Type system with the resonator will sound similar to the Ford Performance Touring by Borla. The front resonator will quiet down the S-Type and the ATAK systems.
An S-Type with the front resonator would bring the sound level close to how a Touring would sound if we offered it.
An ATAK with the front resonator brings the sound down close to the S-Type system.
Its great to see Borla in the forums! Thanks for posting.
Will you be making a Borla touring exhaust for the raptor as well?
if so, when will it be released and how would it compare to the Borla/Ford Performance Sport exhaust?
We did not originally plan on offering a Touring sound level. The front resonator was designed as a solution to those who feel that the S-Type and ATAK are too loud. An S-Type with the front resonator would bring the sound level close to how a Touring would sound if we offered it. As of right now, we do not plan on offering a Touring system. However, Ford Performance by Borla does offer their own Touring sound level. Ford Performance systems are designed by Ford engineers and we build the systems according to their specifications.

Here’s what I sent to Borla to ask about the X pipe and other info.
“Hello, In regards to part number 140693, this should also fit the 2017 F150 3.5L ecoboost correct? What is the thought process to adding a X pipe to a turbocharged engine? Is it basically just to mellow out the exhaust tone? I would think that since there are no exhaust pulses coming through the turbos or lack of ability to effect scavenging that the X pipe would be pointless. Can 140693 be ordered without the x-pipe? Thanks very much!”
And here is the super technical / customer forward response I received:
“This system is made ONLY for vehicles with substantial engine upgrades, like our turbo upgrade kit it is meant to be paired with. If your vehicle is close to stock power-plant wise, this is not the right part. You should order the regular parts.”
I realize this isn’t exactly the same kit as being discussed in this thread but why is borla customer service so severely off base when it comes to their own products?
I apologize for the answer that you received. We can definitely do better than that.
While the X-Pipe is not necessary in terms of performance. Our R&D team did find that it was beneficial for tone and sound. We do not recommend a true dual exhaust system unless your vehicle is highly modified. Unfortunately, we do not offer part number 140693 without the x-pipe. Sorry about that.
