(140017)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpgrading your factory exhaust system to a Borla stainless steel performance exhaust system with a more efficient and less restrictive design can improve sound (adding more enjoyment driving your vehicle) and increase engine horsepower and torque throughout the RPM range (allowing quicker acceleration to pass a vehicle or get to highway speeds quicker). Borla offers Axle Back exhaust systems, Cat back exhaust systems, and for select Competition-Use-Only vehicles, we offer long tube headers to replace your exhaust manifold for the best performance and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Borla \"Cat Back™\" name implies the exhaust system is located behind the factory catalytic converter where there factory emissions remain untouched and vehicle stays emissions compliant. This remains distinct from the Axle Back exhaust system that is located behind the rear axle. Alex Borla coined the phrase 'Cat Back' and introduced the Cat Back performance exhaust in 1978, a bolt-on replacement performance exhaust system requiring no welding, thus being secured using the factory hanger locations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBorla Cat Back exhaust systems use engine-specific (not universal) mufflers that are designed, tested, and optimized specifically for a particular year\/make\/model vehicle. Borla Cat Back systems increase the overall sound level \u0026amp; performance. Vehicles that don't have a factory service-point require \"cutting\" the factory exhaust system before installing a Borla Cat Back performance exhaust system. Borla includes instructions where to make this cut and includes the hardware to complete the installation. Many of today's modern vehicles have a factory service-point in the exhaust system (flange or slip-fit) located in the exhaust tubing behind the catalytic converter. A Borla Cat Back performance exhaust system replaces the factory exhaust system (behind this service-point) following the same exhaust path and secured using the original vehicle hangars and rubber isolators. Borla pioneered the automotive exhaust aftermarket in exhausts constructed in aircraft grade 304 stainless steel tubing, a material with higher content of carbon \u0026amp; nickel that won't rust or corrode.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHorsepower and Torque Increased by 7 – 10%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncreased exhaust flow for better performance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBetter fuel economy at cruising speeds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe most aggressive sound of any Borla system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCustom designed for each application\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePatented straight-through, multi-core muffler design reduces backpressure while absorbing sound waves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMandrel-bent stainless steel tubes with diameters optimized for reduced restriction while maintaining exhaust gas speed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMade from the finest austenitic stainless steel for long-lasting durability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll welded construction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes everything required for installation, including detailed instructions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBacked by the exclusive Borla Million-Mile warranty\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProudly made in the USA more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eS-Type Classic sound. BORLA Performance has created quite a buzz with Vette owners! This incredibly popular 2-tip Cat-Back (PN140017 - dubbed the 'Stinger' on the Internet) features \"S-Type\" mufflers, smaller round mufflers with a center-in\/center-out configuration giving a more aggressive sound and higher flow. BORLA offers a variety of options for the C5, and C5 Z06. Choose from several tip styles and muffler designs. Cat-Backs and Axle-Backs are available with either the highly popular 'S-Type' muffler or the 'Touring' muffler. The 'S-Type' is a smaller, round muffler with a center-in\/center-out configuration giving a more aggressive sound and higher flow. For those who prefer it on the milder side, we have the 'Touring' muffler - a larger case producing less aggressive sound. Some come with an assortment of tip designs. Across the country engine builders, Corvette shops and enthusiasts have proclaimed the 'S-Type' by BORLA as 'the system no one can beat'. BORLA has once again set the pace in the Corvette performance exhaust world. Others only wish they were genuine BORLA. The horsepower is incredible, but the BORLA growl similar to a NASCAR backing off for a hard turn at Daytona is the part that puts a smile on everyone's face. It just says POWER. Make no mistake - this is an aggressive exhaust system. BORLA the original pioneers of premium, high quality T-304 austenitic stainless steel (superior to 400 series and aluminized steel) free flow exhaust utilizes its patented, award and race winning technology to deliver quality, durability, sound, performance gains and enhanced fuel economy. All BORLA street products are assembled in the USA and carry the famous BORLA written Million-Mile Warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Borla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41213267935319,"sku":"BDLS_140017","price":1097.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8642\/1591\/files\/140017.jpg?v=1725092177","url":"https:\/\/jmautosports.com\/products\/borla-cat-backtm-exhaust-system-s-type-classic-140017","provider":"JM Auto Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
