Nestled near the serene Pacific shore in Oxnard, California, stands the cutting-edge Borla Research and Development facility. It is here that Borla engineers meticulously craft exhaust systems from scratch, tailoring each one to deliver the perfect sound for your specific make and model of vehicle. Once the exact specifications are honed, they journey to Borla’s sprawling 100-acre manufacturing complex in Johnson City, Tennessee, nestled beside the legendary Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s in this idyllic setting that raw stainless steel is expertly cut, shaped, assembled, welded, and prepared for shipment. This process exemplifies the spirit of American ingenuity and quality that defines the Borla family, proudly producing top-rated exhaust systems that are ‘Made in the USA’.

Cat-Back Systems: Elevating Automotive Acoustics

The term “Cat-Back” originated with Borla, who revolutionized the concept. Abbreviated from “Catalytic Converter,” a Borla Cat-Back exhaust system encompasses the entire stock system from the catalytic converters all the way back to the exhaust tips protruding from the rear bumper. This comprehensive upgrade delivers the most profound transformation in sound, thanks to enhancements in virtually all undercar piping. Borla’s trademark ultra-smooth mandrel bends, X-Pipe technologies, and precise pipe diameter specifications collaborate to shape an exceptional auditory experience. Catering to a wide array of popular cars and trucks, Borla Cat-Back systems offer a selection of distinct sound technologies — ATAK, S-Type, and Touring — each with its own unique volume and character.
