Borla

About Borla

Alex and Alyse Borla started the company in 1978 building exhaust for Rolls-Royce and Ferrari concours cars, and the family business now employs more than 300 people at a 100-acre site in East Tennessee with its own test and development center. Borla says GM, Ford and Toyota have used it for some factory-installed exhaust systems.

Everything Borla sells for the street is built from austenitic stainless steel. The company points out that many factory systems use 400-series stainless, which is magnetic and less resistant to corrosion, and that its mufflers use continuous-strand fiber packing around a stainless core rather than loose fiberglass. Borla also declines to post sound clips for each part number, on the grounds that a recording played through your phone tells you little about how a system sounds from the driver's seat. Its sound levels are described in words instead, which is honest if not always satisfying.

What we carry from Borla

Most of what we list from Borla is bolt-on cat-back and axle-back exhaust built for a specific truck, engine, cab and wheelbase, in Borla's three sound levels: ATAK, S-Type and Touring. Coverage includes the Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner and Land Cruiser, Ford F-150, Raptor, gas Super Duty, Ranger, Maverick and Bronco, Chevy Silverado and Colorado, GMC Sierra and Canyon, Ram 1500, 2500 and TRX, Nissan Frontier and Titan, and Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator, broken out by generation and engine. We also carry tail pipe and tip kits, X-pipes, connecting and extension pipes for longer wheelbases, and universal Borla mufflers for custom work.

How to choose

Pick the sound level first: ATAK is Borla's loudest series. S-Type is aggressive under acceleration and quieter at idle and cruise, and Touring is only a little louder than stock with a deeper tone, which suits a truck that tows or commutes.

Match cab, bed and wheelbase: Truck systems are cut for a specific cab, bed length and wheelbase, and some need a separate extension pipe or adapter for longer frames. Confirm all three, plus the engine, before ordering.

Super Duty systems are for gas engines: The Borla systems we list for the F-250 and F-350 fit the gas V8s, such as the 6.2L and 7.3L. They are not built for the diesel trucks.

Black finishes carry a shorter warranty: The million-mile term covers the stainless system itself, but black coatings, tip finishes, carbon fiber and moving parts like valves and actuators are covered for one year.

Plan the install: Borla says its systems bolt on at the factory mounting points with hardware included, and many owners install them at home with good clearance and jack stands. No computer reprogramming is needed; Borla says the engine computer adapts over roughly 300 to 400 miles.

Lead times & shipping

NVMOS dropships Borla orders from the brand or its distributor. In-stock parts usually leave in 1-3 business days, and parts stocked at the manufacturer take about 1-2 weeks. Tips, clamps and single mufflers ship by parcel carrier. Complete cat-back systems for full-size trucks come in long, bulky boxes and can ship oversized or by freight truck, which may add a few days. We send tracking as soon as we have it.

Borla warranty

Borla's Million-Mile Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for one million miles, for the original purchaser of record and only on the original vehicle; Canadian million-mile products are rated at 1.6 million kilometers. It applies to Borla exhaust systems, mufflers and headers. Black coatings, tip finishes, carbon fiber and moving parts such as valves and actuators are covered for one year, and products sold outside the USA and Canada get a three-year limited warranty. Borla examines the part and repairs or replaces it at its option if it finds a defect. Removal and reinstallation costs are not covered, and neither are sound level complaints, accident, abuse, misuse or misapplication, racing use, modifications to the product, XR-1 Raceline or Marine products. Welding to the shell or end caps of a universal muffler voids the warranty. Read our Borla warranty summary.
