Borla GMC Sierra S-Type Exhaust vs. Borla GMC Sierra ATAK Exhaust - Phastek

We compared the aggressive rumbe of the Borla S-Type Exhaust vs. the Borla ATAK Exhaust on GMC Sierra 6.2L trucks. Which do you like better? Check out our Borla Exhausts for Silverado or Sierra! bit.ly/3hc4Atz

[@rjracing12]

I had the touring on my 19 LD. Loved it. Love the howl over the growl. I always said I wanted a cold air because then it would be just the right note. But now I’m thinking of getting atak for my new one.

Hey guys, have a 2019 GMC Sierra Denali w/6.2. Which exhaust would you pick between the Borla and the MBRP? If Borla, which one do you guys think is better for a nice rumble over stock? Thanks a d Happy Holidays!

[@ej1025]

Definitely go with the S-Type for the Borla. MBRP is nice too for cheaper. Another brand to consider is Carven's Progressive catback.

[@Dnasty1]

@@ej1025 is the carven progressive louder than the Borla s type?

@@Dnasty1 I think they will be comparable in volume. But they should sound a bit different.

Makes sense to understand the cab sound. My S-Type sounds great with the windows up BUT now that it’ warmer out and I have had a chance to run around with the windows down I’m really super happy. :)

[@paulleadingham]

Now that the warmer weather is here I have actually been able to comfortably run with the windows down. First of all, great job GM on dampening the outside noise. It’s remarkable the difference between windows up and down. The windows up you can have a conversation with the S-Type. Windows down is freaking awesome!!!!

[@anthoney5416]

[@rlp5235]

Unless my hearing is off, I think the S-Type sounds more aggressive than the ATAK exhaust system

[@funhumanusa]

2023 AT4 6.2 motor, Borla ATAK muffler. Sounds amazing but too loud, really, it's the cabin drone at highway speeds. Not awful but I don't care for it. I am here checking the sound of the S-type, seems pretty close as does their Touring muffler. Borla has a sound rating on their site, Touring versus ATAK are close. I want less, just a small growl. Any suggestions, replacement muffler only?

[@teejay3426]

I have the S type on my 5.3 AT4, but it sure sounds like the ATAK on this video. Either way I love it!!

[@PhastekTrucks]

In person sounds can vary when they are put on video. We do the best we can to get an accurate sound. Glad you like it!

[@LifeOutsideSP]

@teejay Now I can't decide between the two. lol Something is telling me to lean towards the S Type just cause I like it loud, but I don't want it to be too loud. However, I like the deep growl on the ATak. How does the truck sound on idle?

@@LifeOutsideSP The s type sounds more refined imo.

[@mike_saw_7563]

I've been going back and forth between these two for my 21 Silverado 6.2L for several weeks. I just ordered the Atak knowing that I can always quiet it down if I really need to. I can always buy the S-Type muffler (60679). Plus the Atak is usually cheaper.

@@mike_saw_7563 how is the s-type? I just installed the ATAK cat back on my 5.3 Silverado (2016) and it’s really loud. I mean, it sounds good, but it will definitely take some getting used to.

@@Sloimer From what we experienced the cold starts were a bit similar. You could tell there was a little difference in the ATAK version but we would say it was not over bearing for those early day starts.

[@mrwashur1991]

Lol these two basically sound the same. I can hear minute differences but at that point I think it’s just more decibels for one. It’s like comparing the 40 series to the 44 series. I threw a flowfx on my 4.3l and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Everyone tries to make them sound like a v8 and just make them sound loud (and slow). The flowfx was the only one I couldn’t find a video on with my engine so I sent it. It sounds great and doesn’t sound like anything else on the road, unless you have a magnapack on a 4.3l (also it isn’t absurdly loud). Hopefully o can toss a v8 in there once this thing blows lol. But so far I think my 4.3l sounds really good and not like everyone else with a 40 series. Also that thing was only $30. I usually dislike borla for price and sound but this one actually sounds really good! It’s mostly that terrible tractor sound at idle lol.

We do know that Borla is trying to configure all the cab and bed length options, so it could just be a matter of time before they have one available. Or MBRP might be a good alternative if you are looking for an exhaust now.

Can you install borla touring on GMC Sierra without deleting the resonator ??

[@neilwattoo]

No. Borla are full exhaust systems. That's what you pay for, the high grade steel. The Touring does not have resonator from Borla. But you can keep your stock one and put it on (it will fit), or you can buy one from Borla. But I think that is a waste of money. The touring is a quiet system, it doesn't need one. If you wanna keep your resonator, I would just get a Flowmaster muffler - like the Super 50 muffler. That is kinda like the Touring, better sound IMO. And way cheaper. Have a muffler shop weld it on, can keep your stock pipes and just leave your resonator on.
