This is subjective. I have Borla Atak and Borla Offroad X Pipe and I personally think it sounds amazing . The million dollar question is what do you like. Who cares what anyone else likes. It's your car you have to drive and like the way it sounds

Thanks for the reply! Do you remember the part # by chance? They have three ATAK systems listed. I believe the one that would work best is part #11903, but they also have #'s 11911 and 11905. Thank You!

I have 11905 and 60457 for off road this part has been discontinued the only difference with cat back is with or without NPP or a different style tip cooled double rounded and such

I already have the arh 2in long tube headers and was going to mate it with the stock NPP Mufflers but I'm afraid I won't be satisfied so thinking of getting the borla NPP ATAK axle back as well

Borla X w/ Maganflow competition. The best I've heard next to a full header and off road setup!

Let's just say thank's for the mild to wild exhaust control.. My set up is extremely loud and almost annoying at time's and we all know your exhaust only get's louder with time

BEST would be the Akrapovic catback which is MSRP at $6300. Full titanium, best sound, OEM valves, etc..

Corsa extreme full catback is another very popular setup.

Also the full Borla systems but Borla only has axle backs now.

Contact us with any questions and pricing on exhausts!

Sales going on this month!

What a joke best would be $6300 why because it's the most expensive and you probably make the most profit .. Best sound that's your opinion . Any exhaust system is subjective and everyone has their own opinion... But to come in and try and sell what you claim to be the best exhaust is very unprofessional to say the least Also get your facts straight Borla still sells X pipes they no longer sell headers

The exhaust is the most expensive exhaust but it has the worst margins on it so no we don't make the most profit from this. Its hard to beat the sound and performance exhaust which is why most high end sports cars and race cars use titanium material. I agree that everyone has their own opinion about the best sounds which is why I didn't only state to buy the Akrapovic. I also mentioned the Corsa and Borla which we sell a lot more of than the Akrapovic.

As far as the Borla selling x pipe, its discontinued. Borla discontinued a majority of their "off-road application products." The most popular c7 xpipe was #60547 which deleted the secondary cats. You can call Borla and any vendor and they will confirm the part has been discontinued. Not sure why we would try to lie to customers that a product is no longer available when we used to sell the x-pipes like hotcakes..

I never said that Borla Part# 60547 wasn't discontinued . You can look at some of my prior post telling someone else it was disco

You said Borla dont make an x pipe any longer when in fact they do. I believe the part # is 60548 You didnt say they dont make an offroad x pipe anymore.. I had the Akrapovic on my 2017 Huracan Syder 610-4 and couldn't stand it
I run the Lamborghini Race exhaust on my 2018 and in my opinion it sounds way better... Again exhaust are subjective....They only point that I'm making here is Borla still makes an x pipe for a c7 and that I personally think it was unprofessional for a vendor to try and sell the most expensive exhaust to someone who may or may not know any better. I understand you listed Borla and Corsa but you listed Akrapovic
As the best and it's far from the best .Had you said the lightest there would be no disagreement
