2014+ Exhaust Systems & Mufflers

Badass69 · May 10, 2016

Lots of guys run MBRP here and I have had other systems that didn't get this bad this quick. Why this one is so awful I could not tell you... hell the stock exhaust is supposedly only T409 as well and they don't rot like this junk did. My stock exhaust on this truck was pretty damn rusty though and I took it off when I got the the truck home brand new from the dealer... typical GM quality lol. This is my second fail from MBRP actually as one system I had on a 6.2 F150 was junk too... Bought the nearly as expensive as real stainless powder coated black option... Yep... that lasted about 3 months and was mostly bare steel. Just junk. Something sad though... Flo Pro is just aluminized steel... nothing stainless... and I have one of their big ovals on my 05 1500HD. Well after probably 5 winters now it's still mint... not rotten... still mostly clean metal. Doesn't say a lot for this garbage.

Yes, I sent them an email right before I posted this.

You don't have extensions on your AR headers, right?

I compared the bung hole (lol) location on AR vs TS, and they look pretty similar.

No mine plugged in like stock no extension's needed for mine.

Installed my Borla ATAK today and removed my MBRP from my 2015 6.2 Silverado. The MBRP is garbage is 8 months old and looks like hell.....rusted like a 20 year old piece of junk. MBRP says just to use a little metal polish to bring it back... well maybe if I sandblasted the thing first that might work..... but there is no polishing in the world cleaning this up. They don't warrant rust either on their T409 systems and say it's "normal"..... uh huh...... Oh and even suggest you buy T304... funny... you jerkoffs don't make a T304 exhaust for my truck. Oh well... enough about scrap metal.

The ATAK fit pretty good and is the dual out model with 2 tips under the bumper. It sounds awesome on startup with a much richer tone than the MBRP ever had..... and on the throttle in the truck is good. One nice huge plus from the MBRP.... the ATAK when cruising has about as much interior noise as the stock system did..... which is great. I don't have AFM enabled and likely in the next while will rip the lifters right out of the truck and do a cam so I don't care about that aspect. The one tip does stick back further than the other but I think I can pull the passenger side out a little if I loosen it off if it really bothers me. The drivers side will not go any further back as I already tried that.

We will see how it holds up... won't be like this junk I am sure:

Is the borla atak the gm version or not? How loud is it inside the cabin. You said it's like stock, my stock on my truck is super quiet in cruise.

No. GM does not make the ATAK model nor would I want it from GM as I don't want that stupid flapper valve they put in the systems. My truck was never really any quieter than pretty well any other truck I have ever owned and is about the same as it was with the stock exhaust. There is a bit of rumble but it's nothing like how it was before. The ATAK is the loudest offering Borla has and that's what I wanted... If you want dead stock silent.... stay stock lol.

I just installed the Borla 40359 on my truck, replacing the Flowmaster Super 40.

My setup is factory manifolds and Y, Dynomax Catback with Borla 40359 in place of the Dynomax VT.

I replaced the Dynomax VT muffler with the Flowmaster Super 40 a few months back, as I didn't really like how the Dynomax VT sounded at WOT. I replaced the Flowmaster Super 40 with the Borla 40359 because I am putting headers on this weekend and wanted something that would be a tad quieter than the Flowmaster.

I think the Borla 40359 sounds great, very close to the Flowmaster Super 40, but just turned down a notch. We'll see how it sound with Headers and ORY after this weekend, might end up being too loud still, but this was my starting point.

Here are some videos if interested, Borla 40359.

@Rawyzf, can't wait to hear your truck with long tubes. I plan on getting some ARH's later this year.

Here's the setup it's going to be linked too, just waiting to get it all installed.

Installed my Volant. Took about 2 hrs. That was me alone taking my time. Quite a pain without a set of hands. I love the rumble. Quiet in the cab unless I get on it. Fair well sweet mpg.

So I'm looking for a decent quality 3" pipe from the 3rd cat to the magnaflow muffler. Any suggestions? I obviously didn't buy a catback system.

Just any old straight piece of 3" pipe. If you buy MBRP's junk as an example it is literally a completely straight piece of pipe from the third cat to the muffler. So any old exhaust ship can hook you up. My Borla has some goofy bends in it and mounts the muffler up at an angle but whatever lol

Corsa DB Series. I'm going to cut the 3rd cat, do 3" piping all the way back split into dual 5" tips. Later on add some ARH's and a CAI. Hopefully she'll sound something like this,

Btw, do post a vid once those headers are on!
