It's clear that Borla makes a great exhaust system. Their systems all use 304 Stainless Steel and they guarantee them for 1,000,000 miles. High quality products and engineering. None better.

And it's clear that their ATAK exhaust is really loud. It sounds great but for many it's far too loud.

Their S-Type is a great option.

And their Touring Exhaust will be a great and likely more popular choice for many.

You can't go wrong with Borla!

It is the sound QUALITY that kills Borla. The offer the same muffler in a few versions. They way the do their air flow is very fitting for some engines, but the ecoboost v6 awful sound is amplified through their muffler.

So I have the Atak and it's a love hate relationship. In efforts to make it a more love and less hate I'm going to be dropping 2x 3in/out resonators between the X-pipe and Mufflers to try and take it down just a bit on the raspyness and the exhaust note while cruising at 80mph. Guess we will see how it sounds after these go in. Should be done by Monday I hope. Stay tuned!

I agree with you. The Touring will be popular. While the Ford Touring is somewhat different it is the #1 requested catback from us.

Did you ever do this? What do you think? I'm now starting to think I'm going to play with a combination of the Borla X Pipe and Ford rear section or vice versa. Hoping to tone down the harshness a little.

Flowmaster. That is the only solution to remove the harshness

Yes I did do it. I have to say that now I love it. It is loud when you mash the skinny but on the highway it is quite. If I turn the radio off I can barely hear it. I feel now that it's exactly the way it should have sounded to start with when I bought it. I knew it was going to be loud but it was definitely too much. Now it is where I want it.
