Think twice about purchasing borla atak

Unbelievable. $2000 exhaust and this is the quality x pipe it comes with.

Is that slag?

Interestingly enough, the revised Ford Performance by Borla exhaust X-pipe is now stamped...not sure if thats better or worse. I didn't take a pic but the inside if it was definitely cleaner than what you have pictured.

Borla is on this forum, I believe even David. He'll take it back no questions asked and will also probably ask for further details too.

Looks like something got spilled...

Read my thread...

I commented on this very subject. I had a few other problems with my kit which led to a couple of phone conversations with Borla. Please try, but you will not get a satisfactory resolution to this particular item, nor will you get a better looking xpipe. I inquired and requested the same thing and the conversation pretty much ended where they were more than willing to replace the x-pipe (customer service was top shelf), but we came to the conclusion it would look just like that one. Yours confirms any replacement x-pipe would have been the same. Sorry I wrote the article that I did and didn't include any photos. I did however take the exact same photos and made the exact same comparison (I also had a shifteck x-pipe on hand at the time) and I sent that shit to Borla.

I cannot comment on if it works, hinders performance, or anything like that, but it sure is a tough pill to swallow having something that looks like that for that kind of money. I've had my system on for a while now and the quality of that x-pipe still bugs the living shit out of me every day...to the point I am going to swap mine out. I had my ShifTeck x-pipe modified by local muffler shop so that it'll slip right together. Going to install it this weekend.

Others may not have the mental block I'm having over how that looks, but I can't get past it. Looking back, I don't know that I'd rule out getting the system because of this, but yea, it sucks.

I am sending the whole kit back and most likely buying corsa.

I wasnt happy with it either and yes for the money spent it shouldnt come that way at all. I like the sound and Iam not a corsa fan really so..

[MENTION=33934]galaxy[/MENTION] what kind of mod was made to the shifteck? Shorten up or???

Ford Performance should make one for the 350. Especially with how many regular 350 owners are getting rid of the resonator.

Maybe the inside junkiness makes the sound better?:lol:

Lol. I would think it would sound even better if it looked like the shifteck one.

I don't understand why some of you that have purchased this exhaust didn't make a thread to warn other members about this? Yes it can be sent back for a full refund but taking off the factory exhaust and re packaging everything is such a hassle .

 

[Zitrosounds]

Who said some of us that have this exhaust have the same problem you have????:headbonk:

 

[Niz55]

Two other people in this thread. But anyways, I do love the sound of the borla and factory exhaust just not sure about the Corsa sound.

BTW, built date on my Bora was 05/08/2018.
