Borla Touring Axle-Back Exhaust System with Black Chrome Tips (11834BC) - 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK / JKU 3.6L V6
Wake up the adventure-ready spirit of your rig with the high-impact Borla Touring Axle-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered for 2012 to 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK (2-Door) and JKU (4-Door Unlimited) models, this premium rear section upgrade introduces Borla's most refined acoustic profile: the Touring sound level. Formulated explicitly for off-roaders and daily drivers who crave a clean, smooth, and mature exhaust note rather than an overbearing or raspy bark, the Touring muffler is calibrated to give the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine a sophisticated, deeper-than-stock tone under acceleration. This axle-back configuration provides just the right amount of trail-ready acoustic presence while relying on advanced straight-through internals backed by Borla's official No-Drone Guarantee to keep the cabin completely quiet and drone-free during long highway trips or extended overlanding journeys.
The internal engineering of the Borla 11834BC targets key factory flow restrictions by incorporating a high-efficiency layout that channels a single 2.5-inch inlet path into dual 2-inch exit mandrel-bent pipes. Built completely from premium-grade, aircraft-quality T-304 austenitic stainless steel, this highly durable axle-back system maximizes exhaust velocity and defends permanently against structural degradation, trail-heat cycling, and heavy off-road mud or road salt corrosion. The spent exhaust gases exit through a distinctive dual split rear configuration featuring unique, dual 3.5-inch x 3.28-inch "square" rolled angle-cut black chrome on T-304 stainless steel tips. These signature tips add a stealthy, rugged, and high-end aesthetic accent beneath the factory rear bumper area. Precision CNC-manufactured for an accurate line-to-line bolt-on fitment, this system utilizes all stock hanger locations and is backed by Borla’s legendary lifetime Million-Mile Warranty.
Chassis & Configuration Notes: This axle-back system is engineered specifically for the 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU generation powered by the 3.6L V6 engine. It is fully compatible with both Automatic and Manual transmissions and fits 2-Door and 4-Door Unlimited 4WD models. It will **NOT** fit later-model Wrangler JL configurations or older 3.8L V6 models.
Black Chrome Tip Care Note: To maintain the premium finish of the black chrome coating, using abrasive metal cleaning compounds or Borla Stainless Steel Polish (p# 21499) is **NOT** recommended. We suggest cleaning the tips exclusively with warm water and a clean microfiber cloth.
