Borla ATAK Axle-Back Exhaust System (11816) - 2005-2008 Chevrolet Corvette C6 6.0L / 6.2L V8
Turn heads and maximize your sports car's exhaust volume with the Borla ATAK Axle-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered specifically for 2005 to 2008 Chevrolet Corvette C6 models, this premium upgrade is tailored for enthusiasts who want an uncompromising, aggressive muscle car sound profile. ATAK stands for Acoustically-Tuned Applied Kinetics, a patented technology that uses vehicle-specific internal muffler cores. These specialized cores are calibrated to focus sound waves into a high-definition, race-inspired roar under heavy throttle, while systematically filtering out the frequencies that cause harsh interior drone. By feeding single 2.5-inch diameter inlet pipes into high-flow mufflers that split into dual 2-inch tailpipes, this free-flowing layout optimizes exhaust velocity to unleash hidden horsepower and sharpen throttle response.
Built to endure decades of street driving and track day abuse, this rear exhaust assembly is fabricated entirely from premium, aircraft-grade T-304 austenitic stainless steel. Highly superior to standard aftermarket options or lower-tier T-400 series alloys (such as 409), its heavy-duty T-304 formulation provides permanent protection against deep rust, moisture corrosion, and thermal stress cracking. Precision computer numerical control (CNC) manufacturing paired with ultra-smooth mandrel bends ensures an accurate, hassle-free bolt-on installation with a line-to-line slip fitment beneath your chassis. The rear profile is finished with an aggressive set of quad 4-inch round, rolled angle-cut highly polished T-304 stainless steel tips that completely transform the look of your factory valence. This maximum-volume system is proudly backed by Borla's legendary Million-Mile Warranty.
