I have Borla SType catback and bought Borla resonator which turns it into touring. Sounds great except when you hammer the gas it sounds close to stock.

Will other axel backs fit to Borla catbacks? SType x-pipe too loud. Resonator not loud enough when accelerating fast. I’m stuck in the middle lol.

Or ATAK axelback w/Borla resonator?

I'm in the same boat as you. Damn goldilocks problems; X pipe too loud and resonator too quiet.
I'm gonna try a GT350 X pipe with the Shelby's oem bottle resonators behind it. Based on what I have learned, should be close to the middle ground.

Lots will fit. I bet the ATAK axleback with the resonator will be a good fit. AWE touring also is a perfect fit (is a loud axleback, don't let touring name fool you).

Definitely let us know how the 350 xpipe and resonators sound.
Just picked it up from @GregO, and dropped off at the exhaust shop near my house to modify slightly to fit in the 25" length the borla X and resonator are. Should hear back tomorrow.

Well, they'll need my car to make sure they can make it fit and still be able to be clamped and removed easily. The alignment is important. That's understandable. I'm going on a trip for a few days so it'll have to be next week. I'll be sure to update you all when it's done.

Well it's not the X pipe with bottle resonators, but here's some exterior video of the borla resonator with the awe touring axleback.

That sounds pretty good. It does seem more aggressive than with the Borla mufflers.

With the X pipe it was amazing sounding, but very, very loud.

Haha yep that sounds familiar. Hopefully the 350 x pipe and resonators get you to a happy medium.

Fingers crossed...looks like Tuesday afternoon is the day. Gotta call tomorrow morning and schedule it.
