Axle-back and Cat-back borlas sound exactly the same.

There are two differences between the two setups:

1. The Borla Cat-back is more expensive than just the mufflers (Axle-back)

2. The Borla Cat-back replaces the OEM over-axle tubes, which have a "Crimp" on the passenger's side. Theoretically, this makes the Cat-back better. However, I don't think anyone has ever reported a performance difference between the two. It's already known that the stock system ("crimp" and all) is good to 500+ HP. Maybe you'd notice the difference if you were pushing 600 or more??


I have the Cat-back on my car. If I had to do it again, I'd buy the Axle-back. Once I did the install and actually saw how little of a difference there is between the Borla tubes and the OEM tubes, I concluded that the Cat-back wasn't worth the increase in cost over the axleback.

Actually there are three different Borla setups. You have two axle back kit and one Cat back. One of the Axle back is the Stinger muffler loudest and the one i run but does have some drone at low speeds. The other is the oval muffler Axle back setup which is going to be quieter but will still sound good.

I have the Borla cat-back with the S-mufflers. It does drone around 1700 rpm. It doesn't bother me though. I heard the car from the sidewalk when my wife was taking the car up the road for a cruise. Wow ! This system sounds awesome from outside the car, more so than from inside the car.

Try any of the sponsors sites. Many fo them sell. I got mine from here http://www.lmperformance.com/ it was on sale when i purchased. By the way you could alwasy buy the Ford Racing Version Which is less money and the same product. Only diff is it says Ford Racing instead of Borla on the tips.
