Default Borla Atak

Anyone got one of these installed? Im not looking for performance of course. But i have Headers and no Cats and my exhuast is kinda raspy. I would like to retain the NPP.

Anyone know if the sound is worth it?

I have Set up near same as you but with a supercharger.I don’t have NPP.I have B&B.It has drone between 1300-1700 rpm.
I have to say at wot it will just about break eardrums.I have never heard anything negative about Borla.

Running Borla ATAK with Borla x-pipe, no rear cats, NPP and stock headers and I will say that its still kinda raspy but I do get a little burble when I let off the gas.
Its nothing like the chambered straight pipes on the '68 but I do like it. Its not too loud, not too quiet, raspy as hell on a cold start but it quiets down. A little bit of drone but I don't care.

Hey,

I wouldn't really say the Borla is raspy. If anything its the headers that make it a little raspy. I think the Borla sounds better than the OEM NPP.

Contact us for pricing and information on the ATAK, we have many in stock!

Not only tip alignment, but make sure they do not rub on the rear fascia.
