BORLA ACTIVE PERFORMANCE SOUND™ FOR EV
UPDATE: Limited Mach-E quantities in stock now for shipment. Sign up to be notified of product updates. More EV models to come soon.
STRAP IN FOR AN IMMERSIVE MOTORSOUND EXPERIENCE
RESTORE THE CRITICAL INPUT OF SOUND
When we drive internal-combustion vehicles, our senses of vision, hearing, and tactile perception are fed a wealth of input we've come to rely on. The absence of motorsound in an EV (along with the vibrations it creates), dramatically reduces that input.
Sound connects you to your ride. It confirms the degree of a squeeze or lift, how hard you're pushing the motors, current throttle position and more. Borla's Active Performance Sound™ System for EV restores that connection, along with the thrilling visceral experience of speed with a soundtrack.

100% IN SYNC WITH THROTTLE, RPM, LOAD & MORE
HOW IT WORKS
Using the Borla app*, you can listen to available sounds in the Borla library and view details on the vehicle & engine each will simulate. The library is ever-expanding with internal-combustion favorites and imagined sounds of the future.
With the vehicle in Park, you can use the app to assign up to four sounds at a time to the preset positions on the dashboard-mounted Controller. This unit allows you to instantly change sounds, adjust volume and turn the system on/off, either while driving or stopped.
* App coming March 2024 or earlier. Until then, you can enjoy full functionality with four sound choices that come pre-loaded into the system.
"The sound of a motor is a communications conduit between driver and machine."

LIVE VEHICLE DATA STREAMS TO THE DSP
500 packets of data per second — including throttle position, RPM, braking, motor load, wheel speed and more — flow from your vehicle's CAN Bus to the Borla system’s Digital Signal Processor (DSP).
Encoded within the DSP are proprietary algorithms developed specifically for driving enthusiasts. By analyzing the incoming CAN Bus data and using techniques similar to modern digital music generation, the algorithms “shape” your selected motorsound to simulate the acoustical dynamics and subtle performance nuances that are critical to the sport driving experience.

HEAR AND FEEL THE POWER
Boosted by a 300-watt amplifier integrated with the DSP, you'll hear the RPMs rush to redline through a simulated transmission, the wind-down of throttle lifts, the staccato notes of a rev limiter and more, pumped through dual 6x9 inch drivers hidden behind the rear undercar shield.
The speakers are protected by a weatherproof enclosure with environmental coating, bolting to existing factory mount points. Special-density rubber bushings within the mounts transfer just the right amount of subtle vibration to the cabin, further enhancing the system's realism.
A FINISHING TOUCH
Included with Mach-E systems, these Borla-embossed speaker grilles slide & lock into existing factory cutouts in the rear undercar shield for a clean and finished look.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED
The Borla Active Performance Sound™ system is a complete plug & play solution. It includes the Controller, DSP, amplifier, speakers, mounting hardware, wiring, and the app (coming March 2024 or earlier). Clear DIY installation instructions are included, and no special fabrication is required.
