Borla ATAK Axle-Back Exhaust System with Polished Tips (11957) - 2018-2026 Jeep Wrangler JL & JLU 3.6L V6
Wake up the adventure-ready spirit of your rig with the high-impact Borla ATAK 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 highest-decibel acoustic profile: ATAK (Acoustically Tuned Applied Kinetics). Formulated explicitly for driving enthusiasts who crave an uncompromising, race-inspired trail roar under acceleration, the ATAK multi-core mufflers target, balance, and focus natural sound waves. This creates a bold, aggressive exhaust signature on the exterior while utilizing advanced straight-through internal design backed by Borla's official No-Drone Guarantee to keep the cabin completely devoid of harsh resonance during highway cruising or long overland expeditions.
The internal engineering of the Borla 11957 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.
