Borla S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust System with Polished Tips (140052) - 1999-2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 4.6L V8
Wake up the high-performance spirit of your muscle car with the high-impact Borla S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered exclusively for 1999 to 2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra models, this premium full-length exhaust upgrade introduces Borla's legendary acoustic profile: the classic S-Type sound level. Formulated explicitly for driving enthusiasts and track day purists who crave a highly aggressive, race-inspired exhaust note under acceleration, this system is calibrated to give the 4.6L DOHC V8 engine a bold, crisp, and high-impact growl. This configuration delivers a commanding exterior acoustic presence while relying on advanced straight-through internals backed by Borla's official No-Drone Guarantee to keep the cabin completely comfortable and drone-free during highway cruising, daily commuting, or spirited track runs.
The internal engineering of the Borla 140052 targets key factory flow restrictions by incorporating an upgraded high-efficiency performance layout featuring a full dual 2.5-inch main pipe diameter. This system utilizes ultra-smooth mandrel bends engineered based on the factory ECU strategy to ensure maximum exhaust velocity, allowing the engine to breathe completely free without interrupting the balance of on-board engine management. This straight-through design maximizes horsepower, throttle response, and torque across the entire powerband, providing plenty of extra flow capacity for additional aftermarket performance upgrades down the road. Built completely from premium-grade, aerospace-quality T-304 austenitic stainless steel, this highly durable cat-back assembly defends permanently against structural degradation, intense heat cycling, and severe corrosion. The spent exhaust gases exit through a distinctive dual split rear configuration featuring a large 4-inch round, rolled angle-cut mirror-polished T-304 stainless steel tip on each tailpipe. Precision CNC-manufactured for an accurate line-to-line bolt-on fitment, this system utilizes all factory mounting positions and is backed by Borla's legendary lifetime Million-Mile Warranty.
Chassis & Configuration Notes: This cat-back system is engineered specifically for the 1999-2004 New Edge Mustang SVT Cobra platform equipped with the 4.6L 4-Valve DOHC V8 engine (including both naturally aspirated 1999/2001 and supercharged 2003/2004 configurations). It is tailored strictly for models utilizing the factory Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) architecture. It is fully compatible with manual transmissions and fits both 2-Door Coupe and Convertible Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) models. It will not fit standard live-axle Mustang GT, Mach 1, or V6 models due to major clearance variances around the rear suspension routing.
