Borla S-Type Axle-Back Exhaust System with Polished Tips (11956) - 2018-2026 Jeep Wrangler JL & JLU 3.6L V6
Wake up the adventure-ready spirit of your rig with the high-impact Borla S-Type Axle-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered for 2018 to 2026 Jeep Wrangler JL (2-Door) and JLU (4-Door) models powered by the versatile 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine, this premium upgrade introduces Borla's iconic mid-level acoustic profile: S-Type. Formulated explicitly for driving enthusiasts who crave a deep, throaty, and aggressive growl under acceleration without being overly obnoxious, the S-Type multi-core mufflers are calibrated to give your V6 a bold, sporty exhaust signature. This system utilizes an advanced straight-through internal design backed by Borla's official No-Drone Guarantee to completely eliminate irritating low-frequency interior cabin drone during highway cruising or long trail rides.
The internal engineering of the Borla 11956 targets key rear restrictions by replacing the bulky factory muffler layout with a high-flow infrastructure featuring a 2.75-inch inlet diameter feeding into the muffler and splitting into dual 2.5-inch mandrel-bent tailpipes out. Built completely from premium-grade, aircraft-quality T-304 austenitic stainless steel, this durable axle-back system smoothly accelerates gas velocity, optimizes exhaust flow, and defends permanently against harsh off-road mud, rust, or road salt corrosion. The exhaust gases exit through an aggressive dual split rear layout featuring two 3.5-inch round, rolled angle-cut lined mirror-polished T-304 stainless steel tips (one on each side) that perfectly fill out the rear bumper lines. Precision CNC-manufactured for an accurate line-to-line bolt-on fit, this system is backed by Borla’s legendary lifetime Million-Mile Warranty.
Chassis & Configuration Notes: This axle-back system fits both standard 2-door (JL) and 4-door (JLU) Wrangler models equipped with 4-wheel drive and the 3.6L V6 engine. It installs as a straightforward, direct replacement for the original equipment rear muffler assembly, securing neatly to your factory mid-pipe connection while using your original hanger locations.
