Borla Touring Cat-Back Exhaust System with Square Black Chrome Tips (140459BC) - 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JKU Unlimited 3.6L V6
Wake up the high-performance spirit of your off-road vehicle with the high-impact Borla Touring Cat-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered for 2012 to 2018 Jeep Wrangler JKU Unlimited models, this premium full-length exhaust upgrade introduces Borla's legendary acoustic profile: the refined Touring sound level. Formulated explicitly for driving enthusiasts and overland purists who crave an upgraded, throatier tone without excessive volume, this system is calibrated to give the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine a bold, crisp, and high-impact growl. This configuration delivers a sophisticated, mellow 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 technical trail rides.
The internal engineering of the Borla 140459BC targets key factory flow restrictions by incorporating an upgraded high-efficiency performance layout featuring a 2.5-inch inlet diameter that transitions smoothly into dual 2-inch tailpipes out of the muffler body. This performance architecture utilizes ultra-smooth mandrel-bent performance tubing and patented multi-core internal geometry that maximizes exhaust velocity and optimizes scavenging to unlock hidden horsepower, sharper throttle response, and enhanced fuel economy across the entire powerband. Designed to route flawlessly along the undercarriage, it leaves plenty of extra clearance for rugged off-road terrain and additional aftermarket modifications down the road. Built completely from premium-grade, aircraft-quality T-304 austenitic stainless steel, this highly durable cat-back assembly defends permanently against structural degradation, intense under-car heat cycling, and severe corrosion. The spent exhaust gases exit through a unique truck single split rear configuration finished with premium black chrome visual styling on dual 3.5-inch x 3.28-inch single square, rolled edge angle-cut T-304 stainless steel tips. 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 performance cat-back system is engineered specifically for the 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) JK-generation platform 4-door Wrangler Unlimited (JKU) equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine and automatic or manual transmissions. Please note that this assembly is tailored strictly to match the longer wheelbase of the 4-door chassis configuration and will not clear standard 2-door Wrangler JK models.
