Borla vs. Stock Exhaust Systems: Why Upgrade

When it comes to vehicles, car guys know that every detail matters. One of the biggest impacts you can make on your car, truck, or SUV is by way of the exhaust system. While factory-installed, or "stock," exhaust systems are designed for general use, aftermarket options like Borla® offer significant advantages in performance, durability, and sound. Let us break it down for you.

Stock Exhaust Systems: The Basics

Stock exhaust systems are designed with cost efficiency and mass production in mind. While they do their job of expelling exhaust gasses, they come with several limitations like design, standard materials, and reduced sound emissions.

Stock systems are ok but if you’re a car guy or you either need or want to replace your exhaust system, you’re going to want to check out Borla Performance Systems.

Borla® Exhaust Systems: Built for Performance

Borla® custom exhaust systems are the gold standard in aftermarket exhaust upgrades. They stand apart from the rest of the competition because of a few key factors.

Borla systems are made with T-304 Stainless steel. They have tips that come in Polished Chrome, Black Chrome, and Carbon Fiber. Borla® systems are engineered to enhance both performance and sound, reducing backpressure and optimizing airflow to unlock additional horsepower and torque. Whether you want quicker acceleration, better towing power, or an exhaust note that turns heads, Borla® delivers the perfect balance of power and unmistakable sound.

Borla is the only system that is tuned to 3 different sounds - Atak, S-Type, and Touring.
