installed borla 140383 tonite

Just use a straight pipe any muffler shop can make or get one for you then have it welded on in place of the resonator. I finally did it on mine and it made a big difference compared to with it on. It also got a little louder after a month or so. Sounds good now the way it should have to begin with. I cant believe Borla doesn't make a pipe to replace the resonator. Such a simple thing and makes the S-Type muffler sound as it should. Also, I did not loose any back pressure of low in torque. Performs and sounds great.

what are you guys using for a resenator delete? Ive been thinking about contacting borla to see if what they use on the touring would aslo fit the s type.

I had an atak on my 5.0 and it was amazing. I was hoping the s type would at least be quite a bit more agressive than stock.

I did a resonator delete and the exchaust guy just used a straight pipe. I am very happy I decided to get rid of the resonator at the last min. Cheers

A cheap piece of pipe.

Hey Guys,

Just though I'd throw in some food for thought. I just picked one of Ford Racing's sport system. Which use to be the Borla S type system, but it is now completely revamped as pictured below. Both Ford's sport and touring use the dual muffler setup, the touring with an included resonator, the sport with a straight pipe to replace it. And exhaust tips are now welded on not clamped. Mine was manufactured just last week, have not put it on yet, but I was informed they have broken away from these system being twins to the borla setup.

Those are the pipes I picked up in eBay. They look awesome.

Yes they look awesome but I just finished installing my exhaust system today and those great looking tips rattle against each other something terrible . Makes you made going from a stock system to a supposedly top notch ford racing one (made by Borla of course) and have this kind of issue right out of the box. Especially since this was not a cheap exhaust.

Makes the whole system sound like crap from outside and inside at certain rpms. Tried to spread them apart a bit, no go.

Anyone else have this issue on these? Getting in contact with ford racing tomorrow about it.

Do yours have a welded support? Mine are very tight but don't touch, and this support keeps it so.

 

[VMR]

Yup I have that as well, weld must have been a hair off and they are touching.

 

[ZBoater]

Here's another view. The support is just north of the tips about less than a foot.

Ahhh, yes. They are very, very close. If they are touching then they messed up. That doesn't seem to be something that can be fixed short of a swap.
