BORLA 11875 ATAK with Borla X-Pipe (no secondaries) installed
Install went off without a hitch I already had the x-pipe installed a couple months ago. The nice thing is I didn't have to remove the tunnel stiffening brace to the new over axle system on (made this much faster). I removed the rear fascia, unbolted the stock exhaust, and was able to easily work it out with just jack stands. The new one being two pieces was even easier to get in. The borla diffuser was a bit more difficult still not 100% sure it's aligned the way I want but it's pretty close. Overall the fit and finish was spot on. Very nice exhaust. I would say the tone is a deeper tone, with more popping (how I describe it) on shifts (M7). Definitely worth it for the look and sound. Now the hard part fitting a F1A procharger and port injection fuel system .
Couple questions for ya C5-VERT, what are the main reasons you went with Borla ATAK System instead of Corsa Extreme? it is because you can still have NPP options? I currently have Borla x-pipe and I'am debating if I should get Corsa from Axel back combo/ borla x-pipe, or full Corsa exhaust system from x-pipe to exhaust.
Lastly, what is the price for Borla ATAK.

Corsa is higher pitched and doesn't have NPP. Borla is deeper and most retain the NPP..

Very easy to answer. Chose Borla b/c I wanted to try their diffuser. I could have fabbed up some brackets and welded them to the stock exhaust but I have so much work coming with the procharger and fuel system I chose to just take the easy route spend some $$ and get the Borla system which has mounting points for the diffuser. That diffuser has to sit at the right angle it was a bit more to it than I thought. It's still growing on me I usually like a "clean" style, so this is a bit out of my norm. But so far I think I like it, especially in person.
As for sound, would I spent the $2k just for that compared to stock? NO.
For looks, possibly. So it was more a choice of making the rear look a bit nicer and different than stock. There are quite a few Z's running around town so I want mine to look more personalized.
I have owned B&B and Corsa. Corsa definitely sounds more "race" to me. Borla is more throaty or low. But I believe they both enhance the "popping" which honestly I love. So I absolutely don't regret it and would do it again all day. The workmanship is great all stainless steel and the tips are super nice!
So it bolts to the exhaust and rides next to the factory rear diffuser area? That is very unique for sure. I would be afraid it would vibrate.
Yes it mounts to the exhaust. No doubt that is to make you buy the exhaust, hell it pushed me that way. I didn't notice any major vibration the key is aligning up the exhaust well. I took my time total install was 3 hours including pulling my bumper and old exhaust out. It was much easier than I thought. The diffuser took an hour alone simply b/c I wanted to play with adjustment (it allows quite a bit of adjustment). It sits about 1.5" or so below the rear fascia. Honestly, the design looks more efficient than the drill on pieces to the fascia I have seen. No question this smooths air much better than some fins mounted. My opinion of course. Anyone who has seen these cars from behind driving in rain or wet roads knows the amount of turbulent air from the rear + the 335's not helping. I did it more for looks...saw it, liked it, bought it. It's not cheap mostly b/c it's a large piece of solid aluminum welded (not bolted) together in layers.
Hey man. I have the Borla xpipe right now and looking into NPP axleback options. My biggest issue with the factory exhaust (even with the borla xpipe) is that I can barely even hear the exhaust in low RPM and light throttle situations. Does this exhaust solve that?
