Construction & Design

The Borla Touring Cat-Back Exhaust System is expertly crafted from T-304 stainless steel, known for its exceptional strength and resistance to rust and corrosion. This premium material choice ensures the system withstands harsh road conditions and extreme temperatures, providing long-lasting performance and appearance. The polished stainless steel tip adds a refined aesthetic touch that complements the rugged style of the Jeep Wrangler.

Mandrel-bent tubing preserves the exhaust’s internal diameter through bends, preventing flow restrictions and turbulence. This engineering precision, combined with CNC-machined components, guarantees a perfect fit that aligns seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing exhaust layout, minimizing installation time and effort.

Performance & Sound

The system’s patented straight-through and multi-core design enhances exhaust gas velocity, which helps to unlock additional horsepower and torque from your Jeep’s engine. This improved flow also contributes to better fuel efficiency by reducing backpressure. The Borla Touring system produces a distinctive, refined exhaust note known as the Borla Sound of Power—deep and aggressive yet not overpowering—making it suitable for daily driving and spirited off-road adventures alike.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Borla Touring Cat-Back Exhaust System is straightforward and designed to bolt directly onto the factory catalytic converter outlet. No cutting or welding is required, making it a convenient upgrade for DIY enthusiasts or professional installers. It is important to confirm that your Jeep Wrangler does not have a trailer hitch, as this system is not compatible with vehicles equipped with one.
