Borla Exhaust and Tail Pipes

Borla Performance Industries: The Standard in Stainless Steel Exhaust

Borla Performance Industries has been synonymous with premium performance exhaust since 1978. The company began by building exhaust systems for Rolls-Royce and Ferrari concours classics — a pedigree that set the tone for decades of uncompromising craftsmanship. Today, Borla is the pioneer and leader in the design and manufacture of stainless steel performance exhaust.

The company has been an innovator in the exhaust system market from the very beginning, being the first in the world to offer a complete aftermarket exhaust system that could be bolted onto an existing vehicle, as well as the first to offer a long-term warranty on those products and the first to use stainless steel. That legacy of firsts continues today with a lineup that spans cars, trucks, SUVs, and dedicated race vehicles.

American-Made Engineering, From Design to Delivery

Close to the Pacific shore in Oxnard, California, is the state-of-the-art Borla Research and Development facility, where each exhaust system is designed and fabricated from scratch, engineered to produce the best possible sound for a specific make and model vehicle. The finished specifications are then sent to a 100-acre manufacturing complex in Johnson City, Tennessee, where the exhaust is cut from raw stainless steel, shaped, assembled, welded, and shipped.

All systems are built from premium T304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and long service life. This material choice, combined with trailblazing improvements in exhaust design that have led to many US patents for innovative technology and numerous "Best New Product" industry awards, is what separates Borla from the competition.

Three Sound Profiles, One Signature Character

A defining feature of the Borla lineup is the ability to choose your exhaust voice. Borla offers a choice of three exclusive sound technologies — ATAK®, S-Type, and Touring — to suit your taste in sound volume. Whether you want a race-inspired roar or a refined daily-driver tone, there is a Borla system tuned for you.

The flagship product line is the Borla Exhaust System Kit, which covers full cat-back configurations. Alex Borla coined the phrase 'Cat Back' and introduced the Cat-Back performance exhaust in 1978 — a bolt-on replacement system requiring no welding, secured using the factory hanger locations. Borla Cat-Back systems use engine-specific (not universal) mufflers that are designed, tested, and optimized specifically for a particular year, make, and model vehicle.

For drivers seeking a more targeted upgrade, Borla's Axle-Back Systems offer a streamlined solution. Unlike Cat-Back systems that replace the complete stock exhaust from the catalytic converters to the tips, a Borla Axle-Back system replaces only the mufflers, rear piping, and tips — a more affordable solution that still delivers a distinct Borla sound note with plenty of aggressive punch.

Rounding out the exhaust lineup, Borla Exhaust Tail Pipes provide vehicle-specific fitment with the same T304 stainless construction and finish options found across the full Borla range. Many Borla exhaust systems are available in black or natural stainless, with tips offered in Bright Chrome, Ceramic Black, or Carbon Fiber finishes.

The Million Mile Warranty

Both Cat-Back and Axle-Back Borla systems are 50-state street legal and carry the Million Mile Warranty — one of the most comprehensive guarantees in the aftermarket exhaust industry. It is a direct reflection of the confidence Borla places in its materials and manufacturing process, and a key reason enthusiasts trust the brand build after build.
