Installed behind the rear axle, Borla ATAK axle-back exhaust systems
replace the factory rear muffler(s) and exhaust pipe(s). Following the
same exhaust path and secured using the original hangers and rubber
isolators, Borla axle-back (rear section) performance exhausts are less
restrictive than factory exhaust systems. Welded tips are standard on
most systems.
ATAK
(Acoustically Tuned Applied Kinetics) technology is designed for
high-performance purists who prefer exhaust sound over their stereos.
ATAK-equipped exhaust systems deliver the highest available dB
(decibel) levels in the Borla street-legal lineup. Unlike inferior
brands that lose significant sound quality at higher volumes, ATAK
systems are tuned like a graphic equalizer to shape and focus sound
waves for optimum high-volume output. They are calibrated on a
vehicle-by-vehicle basis and their specifically-tuned internal muffler
cores deliver the most desirable sound.
Many
vehicles have a factory service-point in the exhaust system (flange or
slip-fit) located in the exhaust tubing behind the rear axle; so most
Borla ATAK axle-back installations are completed in less than an hour
with no cutting of the factory system. Vehicles that don't have a
factory service-point require cutting, so Borla includes easy-to-follow
instructions and hardware to complete the installation.
Borla
pioneered the use of aircraft-grade 304 stainless steel tubing, a
material with a higher content of carbon and nickel that won't rust or
corrode, for the automotive exhaust aftermarket … including Borla ATAK
axle-back exhaust systems with the power of race-winning Borla
Multicore technology.
