New Exhaust Systems are one of the most important upgrades that redefine a vehicle’s performance, health, sound, and visual design. But when deciding on an Exhaust System upgrade for performance, competitive, and premium class cars, it’s important to pick a manufacturer focused on this class and partnered with professional racers and racing competitions.
Borla is an exhaust systems manufacturer established in 1978 that today offers a wide range of performance stainless-steel exhausts. The company started its path by creating premium-quality exhaust systems for Ferrari and Rolls-Royce cars, but today they create hundreds of products for most modern vehicle makes and models.
Cat-Back Exhaust Systems by Borla
If you’re a seasoned vehicle enthusiast, you’ve probably heard about Cat-Back Exhausts. But not many vehicle owners know that this term was created by Borla, which invented the concept of these exhausts.
Borla Catalytic Converter Exhaust Systems are designed as a full replacement for your vehicle’s stock system. Since the system upgrades all the piping under a vehicle, sound changes are radical but extremely effective. These exhausts include X-Pipe technology, extremely smooth mandrel bends, and vehicle-specific pipe diameter specs.
Internal core configurations, muffler body shapes, and flow dynamics are specific to each vehicle make and model. But each exhaust system offers three sound technologies, depending on your taste: S-Type, ATAK, and Touring. Each technology offers a different and unique sound character and volume.

Why Should I Choose Borla Exhaust Systems?
Borla is committed to manufacturing the best T-304 stainless-steel exhaust systems. Their goal is to provide customers with exhaust upgrades that exceed performance standards and customers’ expectations. Borla Exhaust Systems offer smooth high-flow mandrel bends, strong austenitic stainless steel design, and precision-fit slip joints. Borla Exhaust Systems also significantly improve vehicle performance, fuel savings, and an engine’s health.
Many exhaust manufacturers create their products with no regard to a specific vehicle, releasing them as vehicle-specific only after the design was established. But Borla understands that making exhausts separately, without testing them on corresponding vehicles, or just manufacturing them compatible with multiple models won’t unleash full sound potential. As the manufacturer of premium-class exhaust systems, Borla’s team does a meticulous job of researching the acoustical properties of each vehicle and testing them in the process of manufacturing. This process allows them to create vehicle-specific fine-tuned products with perfect exclusive sounds.
Another technology utilized by Borla in their exhausts is called a Polyphonic Harmonizer. It is a dynamics-tuning technology similar to what organ pipes use to create impressive sound quality. As you can imagine, together with the Polyphonic Harmonizers, Borla exhaust systems provide a sound quality that no other exhaust manufacturer can even compare to.
Which Vehicle Models Support Borla Exhaust Upgrades?
