Borla ATAK vs S-Type, What should you buy and how to Install 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 Sierra Silverado

[@cheekster96]

Any factory warranty issues?

[@TruckOwnership101]

Not according to Borla’s Q and A page: Q. Will it void my factory warranty? All Borla street Cat-Back™s, Rear Sections, and Mufflers are 50-state emissions legal. These systems will NOT void your factory warranty, some cars even have Borla systems as the OEM exhaust. In fact, it is illegal for a dealer to deny you the OE warranty because you have changed the exhaust system.

I bought a Borla S Type..installed it on my 2014 and after a few weeks, upon start up, it would produce a ringing sound..kind of like a loud bell..I came to realization that a weld inside came loose/broke off...I made a video, sent it to Borla and they sent me a BRAND NEW one..no questions asked..I had to send them my receipt via email and that was it. It was a pain in the ass to take the faulty one off and reinstall the new one, but we'll worth it!!!! Borla is a GOOD company!!!

[@mike_saw_7563]

I was dead set on the Atak but changed my mind and got the S-Type for my 21 Silverado 6.2L RST. Start up is plenty loud but settles down fairly quick. You definetly hear it when you get on the throttle though. I think the Atak sounds good but a bit too obnoxious in my opinion.

what system did you get? true duel's or cat back?

[@32deej]

I got the S-Type for my 6.2L Camaro. It was still rather quiet but with a better sound. Just what I wanted. Then I added long-tube headers and it got really throaty but still about the same volume. Cool. Then I threw in a larger intake manifold, throttle body, and cam. Now it's way too loud. But way too fun. With my 6.2L truck, I'm starting off with the Borla Touring exhaust and I got the ones that point in opposite directions. Even though it is the quietest option, they are louder than expected. And now I've added long-tube headers and its made it raspy loud. I've got a high-ram intake and large throttle body ready to install. I'll be doing a cam swap at the same time and I imagine it's going to be as loud as an Atak system after that.

[@Ghost-zt8ge]

I also just got the stype for my 2019 camaro ss. It arrived today so I'm very excited to see the difference to my stock long tube headers sound. I hope it's a lower rumble than stock npp

I was on the fence with the Borla S-type but ended up going with the Corsa Sport Performance exhaust on my 2020 6.2L Chevy Trail boss and I love it. Has a different tone - reminds me of a performance sports car. Whenever I decide to get a new truck, I'm going to run the Borla S-type.

I just got off the phone with Borla. They told me that without a blower, you will lose performance with the true dual setup. Have you had any noticeable difference in performance? Or have you not noticed a “seat of the pants” loss?

[@siebs14]

Question on the Borla exhaust. I have a ZR2 on order and it doesn't have the exhaust ports in the bumper. Does this exhaust have enough slack that will adjust to go below the bumper or will Borla need to have a different option for the ZR2. Looks like we are in the same state with your license plate.

[@TruckOwnership101]

My guess is that you will say you plan to use “factory tips” and run nothing like the ZR2 does. From what I can tell GM is doing the dual exhaust setup with a non dual bumper. The factory tips mount and are basically part of the dual exhaust bumper. The real exhaust pipes on the ZR2 looks the same on the 2020 if you take the tips off.
