Borla ATAK Dual-Pipe Cat-Back w/ X-Pipe for TT-RS

[alvint@borla]

Can you post up a video of the car with the diffuser outside on pavement? That would help provide a better view of the effect and better lighting to see how it blends with the factory rear valance, shape of the car, etc.

If the diffuser looks good when the car is off the lift and our of the shop, you have most likely earned another customer. I have to wait until Q4 before having some free money to modify my TT-RS, but the time is coming quickly

Sure we can when we have a production component. Thanks!

And one last comment... People (for the vast majority) who tend to modify there cars for performance gains could care less about being quiet and civilized. Hence why they modify for power gains to begin with. Just because its a more expensive start, doesn't mean the attitude is any different than a kid who puts a card in his wheel spokes...


Call me a "kid" because I like a loud, mean sounding car.... Wow, yeah, nailed that one didnt you... Or is it because I own a louder, cheaper car.... way to throw millions of people into that group!

I have to agree with dan here, I want performance gains and if that means louder... well even better

[Optimus812]

Wow, this exhaust sounds mean... I wonder how this will sound connected to the APR downpipe I ordered!

Are these now available to purchase thru the website?? I tried to buy one but it gave me an web error when I clicked the submit button.

[GordonM]

Oh no, not another nice sounding video to watch!. Hey Alvin, when are they going to start shipping the first run on the 140473 exhaust out of Borla Tennessee? Going crazy waiting for my order thanks to these video's!

Optional Exhaust Diffuser available Oct.'2012

This is (mostly) an aesthetic component that also functions to reduce drag below our mufflers.

What's most unique about our Exhaust Diffuser is the direct attachment to our cat-back and no direct contact to the OE body panels. It is simple to install and removed.

Thanks again for your interest in Borla!

Hey Alvin,
I must say that the exhaust diffuser is quite a unique and appealing idea. You stated October 2012, are you on schedule with production? Ballpark price? My concern with the cat-back design is the ease of working with and temperatures that affect the Haldex system controller. If I order at this point, when can I expect delivery? Is diffuser a diy job? You see, I want to use your cat-back in conjunction with either a 034 or APR downpipe. What do think?

[blackout-rs]

I'm going with the APR downpipe and Borla catback...just guessing based on what's been said that they'll mate up. Will post clips once installed.

I'm 99% sure they will mate up. I just ordered the Borla exhaust thru Summit Racing (seemed to have the best price) and the APR downpipe thru APR. Can't wait to hear what they sound like together!

Just talked with Alvin from Borla on the phone, really great guy and was very informative about the exhaust and how they sound on our cars. Thanks again Alvin for the info.

thanks Dave.

FYI, we plan to have systems available in 2-weeks. These systems will be completed and shipped from our facility in CA.

The exhaust Diffusor is a nice touch but i would have developed it as a joined part with the rearbumper diffusor.

[alvint@borla]

I'm sure a body panel bolt-on diffuser is available for your TT-RS.

I've personally received positive comments and interest on our innovative design approach. Thanks again for your interest in Borla!

Please post up a video of the combination!

TT-RS here has Exhaust Diffuser installed... sorry for poor lighting. Spoke to customer and he's pleased with both cat-back exhaust and exhaust diffuser.

This system makes the TTRS sound amazing in person. Another top notch system from the guys at Borla. I want this growl from my TT Roadster.

Hey Alvin,

Is production on schedule? I ordered mine through a dealer. Want to flaunt for possible H2O trip.

[alvint@borla]

We're building systems in CA this week for those who've placed orders direct and through our dealers. They'll be shipping as soon as they're completed. Thanks for your patience!

Hey guys... I promised some video of my Borla system a while ago. My apologies, I've been incredibly busy with life in general and sadly haven't had much time for my car (as evidenced by how filthy it is on the outside).

Anyway, here’s a couple videos. As many have said in this post already, the video simply cannot capture the sound, but here goes...

First, here's a quick cold start & idle vid:





Next, here’s an in-car video, with a mixture of windows up and windows down driving.

**WARNING: If there are any who suffer from seizures or get motion sick, just listen & don’t watch My camera mount was shaky as hell for this video. That, coupled with CT’s supremely ****ty roads makes this miserable to watch. But the sounds comes through, and that’s the point of the vid. **

The first 2:35 of the vid is windows down driving. Then it’s windows up until around the 6:30 mark when I put them back down for about a minute & then it’s windows up the rest of the way.

I tried to do a mixture of some hard accelerations, coupled with some normal/docile cruising:



And lastly, a quick launch/acceleration vid from outside:




In summary, I’m still just as happy & impressed with this system as the day it was installed. And since that day, I’ve daily driven my car for a full month and took a road trip that was over than 300 miles. I haven’t tired of the sound one bit: no highway drone, relatively docile but more “open” sounding than stock around town, and tons of noise when you really get on it!

Many thanks again to Alvin and the guys at Borla. This is an A+++ quality product with the company/customer service to match.

[Black BeauTTy]

Good stuff Mike! We need to meet up and do a good comparison video for everyone. We need an APR and Milltek car too. Who's up for a NE tuned TTRS GTG?

Nice video, thanks for doing this for us! I think this combo sounds great and look forward to hear how the Borla sounds on mine with the APR downpipe.

Thanks so much for posting these! It's great to get some more real-world driving vids of aftermarket exhausts. Very pleased to hear that it mostly keeps the stock exhaust note but just dials it up a bit. Looking forward to getting this on my car with the secondary cat delete pipes.

[krenshaw]

Glad you guys enjoyed the vids! Again, it really is hard to depict the true sound in video, but this does give you a pretty good idea. I'm going to try to get some more/better outside the car acceleration vids -- mostly for my own enjoyment, since I never get to hear it from that perspective!

I forgot to mention in my post that I was recently surprised to come home and find my AWE parts (FMIC and cat deletes) had arrived earlier this week. My schedule is pretty tight in the next few weeks and it's going to be tough to reschedule with my shop (after the extra-long wait for these parts) to get everything installed and get the car tuned. I'll certainly try to get some vids of the exhaust and cat delete combo up once they're installed.

Mike: I'm definitely up for another GTG, although probably not until later, towards Fall for me.

Dave: It'll be really cool to hear whatever differences there may be between the combo of exhaust and cat deletes versus the APR downpipe w/ this exhaust. I'd love to hear a vid of it with the APR once you get it installed.

[Black BeauTTy]

Just for kicks and a relative comparison, I tried to duplicate Mike's cold start video this morning with my crappy cell phone! Mine has the secondary deletes in place so that will make a difference too. To my tin ear, it sounds like the AWE straddles the Borla depending on valve position. What do you guys hear. Oh, unlike Mike, I felt compelled to do some revving after warm up!

Good stuff Michael! I think, on video, the AWE (valves open) and Borla do sound similar at cold start and idle. I think we'll only notice the subtle differences in tone when hearing it in person. Either way, both sound pretty sweet!

[Black BeauTTy]

I know, none of the videos, even the profession ones, capture the true sound that you hear live. It makes buying tough on folks that don't have the luxury to hear them live...or during development. I think a video that has all of them together at the same time might at least help from a relative perspective. Honestly though, I bet they all sound good and I'd love to be part of it!
