Borla S-Type Classic Cat-Back Exhaust System (140017) - 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5 Base & Z06 5.7L V8
Wake up your vehicle's true performance personality and capture the timeless growl of American muscle with the Borla S-Type Classic Cat-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered specifically for 1997 to 2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5 Base and Z06 platforms, this premium aftermarket upgrade sets the benchmark in aftermarket exhaust tuning by striking the ultimate balance between track-ready aggression and refined daily drivability. The celebrated S-Type Classic sound profile relies on Borla's patented multi-core muffler technology to isolate and eradicate unwanted, low-frequency sound waves. This ensures your vehicle unleashes a deep, rich, and authoritative V8 throatiness under heavy acceleration, while keeping the interior cabin free of annoying highway resonance or drone. Featuring a high-flow 2.5-inch inlet diameter that smoothly necks down to dual 2-inch muffler outlets, this optimized path accelerates exhaust velocity to unlock hidden horsepower, sharpen throttle response, and boost overall fuel economy.
What sets the Borla 140017 apart is its elite design paired with an unmistakable custom rear profile. Fabricated entirely from premium, high-quality T-304 austenitic stainless steel, this system stands vastly superior to budget T-400 series or aluminized substitutes to deliver lifetime protection against deep rust, moisture corrosion, and structural cracking. Every system features ultra-smooth, mandrel bent tubing and precision computer numerical control (CNC) manufacturing to ensure an accurate, line-to-line bolt-on slip fitment using your factory hangar locations. The rear valence is completely transformed by a massive pair of 4.5-inch single round, rolled angle-cut Phantom-style highly polished T-304 stainless steel tips on each side. Proudly assembled in the USA and backed by a written Million-Mile Warranty, this setup delivers the legendary "Sound of Power" that Corvette shops and engine builders across the country trust above all others.
