Default My experience with Borla ATAK
Just wanted to share. My cars specs : cammed, supercharged, long tubes, no cats and had the Ti cat back. I swapped the cat back for the Borla ATAK. I knew it was going to be loud and I didn’t care, It’s not a daily. It is very loud(some would say obnoxious) but what really impressed me was the fact that there is still no interior noise and zero drone. 100% of the noise goes out back. I may put some bullet mufflers up front to give it a different tone, but for the size of the Borla’s, they really knew what they are doing when they designed this muffler.

No traction in 1st, 2nd and most of 3rd up to about 60mph😂
Drag radials will help a lot, hoping to get some in a month or so.
