  Borla ATAK Review

  I installed the Borla ATAK on my 2002 mustang today. Installation wasn't not as hard as what people were telling me it would be. I have not been able to stop driving the car now. This exhaust is one of the best sounding cat-back i have ever heard on a mustang. if you are on the edge about what cat-back to get i would spend a little extra money and get this. you will not be disappointed. this exhaust is the perfect combination of tone and volume. and on the high way it is not annoyingly loud like some other systems. I also never heard a drone while cruising around today.This is by far the best modification i have done to my mustang.

  Excellent Investment!!!

  Definitely worth the extra costs associated with the Purchase and subsequent installation. Even the Mechanic that installed it said that the sound was absolutely "nice!" He sells other Brands other than Borla. Very happy with the purchase.

  New Aggressive Attitude

  This had to be one of the most difficult decisions I've made for my 2002 Sonic Blue Mustang GT Convertible. I longed for a much more aggressive Tone. Needless to say, Borla did not disappoint. Even the Technician that installed it told me that the sound was "Very, very nice!" That would be titled Understatement of the year!

  Great Exhaust

  Exhaust sounds great! Definitely worth the money. Spend the extra cash and get this exhaust. I have all stock mid pipes and headers with this cat-back and it really gives it a nice growl.

  Loud

  Awesome exhaust system from Borla I did the install myself and it was quite simple. I purchased this to complete my long tube and off-road x pipe setup and wow this makes it insanely loud and I love it i wouldn't recommend it for a daily driver but overall great exhaust system from Borla

  Borla ATAK

  It looks and sounds better than stock. The tips really clean up the rear of the car, and makes it sound more agressive.

  borla ATAK

  I went back and forth between the stinger and ATAK at first till I heard the ATAKs in a video clip. Totally worth the 800 dollars! When in idle it's not super loud or anything but you can tell there's a beast waiting to be unleashed! Under hard acceleration it's a higher, more cracking and raspy tone but in a good way. Borla did a great job at tweaking the tone to still sound great. I'm 19 and with some help from my little brother we were able to install it with ramps and a few simple hand tools. The only kinda hard part was getting the porper tool to cut the old exhaust. Took us an hour and 45 min.

  Best V8 exhaust

  Best American v8 exhaust system in the world. A little secret to the raspy sound, get a O/R X-Pipe and no more rasp. I promise gentleman, even a catted X-Pipe would be OK but mek sure it fits your header length. A CAI and tune would be extremely beneficial with this as well

  WOW!!!!!!!!

  This cat-back is by far the best sounding exhaust i have ever heard, its really loud and raspy but it still has an AMAZING tone to it. Usually these loud raspy exhausts don't have a nice tone and just sound random but this one is different, i have NEVER heard anything like it. The sound my car makes now with long tube headers and an off road x pipe is absolutely amazing, plus the 4 inch tips look fantastic too. Go ahead and spend the extra money on this cat back, you will not be disappointed trust me.

  Borla ATAK'S

  As with all Borla products, fit and finish was spot on, the only thing I am not too fond of with this exhaust system is the tone of it. Its too "raspy" for my taste, if I could trade this out for the stingers I would in a heart beat, much more of a deep rumble to it.

  Great Purchase

  This exhaust is absolutely worth every penny. Great sound quality, it's not too much & obnoxious sounding, very little drone. The only problems that I had when installing was getting the pipe to squeeze over the axle. Once I was able to do that, every thing was as smooth as it could be. Fitment was perfect & you couldn't ask for a better sounding exhaust.

  2003 Mach 1 borla ataks

  Installed in about two hours with one jack stand in a driveway.. The exhaust clamps are far better then other they do not crimp the exhaust so they allow you to adjust length and figment.. First start sounded throaty and angry after a few days of driving after full break in for a catback system it almost sound like full header h-pipe combo.. May be a little pricey at first but deft worth the money I garuntee you guys will not regret the price.. If you truly car about your stand (8 years with multiple years .... Owned 94-95-03 gt-01 cobra2013 5.0) now a 2003 Mach 1 by far the best exhaust note... Very pleased and lots of looks and compliments... Note to driver only driven for two weeks the exhaust deft. Gets the right attention.. Thanks American muscle for such a great product once again.....!

  WOW

  Always been a fan and supporter of Borla but wow, this exhaust is exactly what I wanted and more! Paired it with the Magnaflow O/R X Pipe and it turns 11/10 heads! The 11th head is the dog/cat that just jumped when i touched the gas. A little louder than my liking but after getting use to I could'nt be more pleased. Love it! Thanks AM for the awesome prices and delivery and support! Worth every penny and more!

  Happy customer

  I researched what exhaust system to buy for years, finally picked this set up, couldn't be any happier with the purchase, is it crazy loud no... but does it make the car perform better than my other configurations yes, I have ran with stock,flow masters, and just manifolds with h pipe, to be honest it sounds like when I had no mufflerservice at all but when your lighting up the tires and you hear it open all the way it has a distinct sound, anyway it's the best looks and sounds good, build quality is at the level I expected witch is very high.

  Borla ATAK

  This exhaust is by far the best cat-back available. I did hours of research to get parts to complete my exhaust system and knew I HAD to have this Borla ATAK for my 02 GT. The sound is incredibly clean and has a perfect tone. Like what other people said it's LOUD when you want it, but can also just be a normal low level growl while cruising around. It fit perfectly with my BBK shorty headers and BBK off road xpipe. This borla ATAK should be on EVERY 99-04 mustang, the looks and sound set it far ahead of all competition!
