Borla ATAK Cat-Back Exhaust System with Polished Tips (140730) - 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS
Unleash the full acoustic and performance potential of your high-performance hatch with the Borla ATAK Cat-Back Exhaust System. Specially engineered for the 2016 to 2018 Ford Focus RS (2.3L Turbo AWD), this is Borla's most aggressive exhaust line. ATAK (Acoustically-Tuned Applied Kinetics) technology is fine-tuned to deliver a high-decibel, race-inspired exhaust note that emphasizes the visceral pops, bangs, and crackles unique to the EcoBoost engine, all while managing interior resonance. By maximizing exhaust velocity, this straight-through system eliminates backpressure to free up hidden horsepower and torque, delivering immediate throttle response when tearing down the track or carving up canyon roads.
This premium performance system utilizes a high-flow 3 inch main pipe that splits into dual 2.25 inch outlets, meticulously built from aircraft-grade T-304 austenitic stainless steel. This premium construction offers absolute resistance against rust, corrosion, and structural cracking under extreme driving conditions. To maintain optimal flow without triggering dashboard error lights, the kit comes equipped with a built-in Sound Suppressing Valve Simulator that deletes the restrictive factory electronic valve mechanism. It also incorporates Borla’s innovative Polyphonic Harmonizer Technology, utilizing distinct internal pipe diameters and lengths to deliver a multi-toned, rich, and full-bodied sound signature. The setup exits through a sporty single split rear configuration on both sides, crowned with large 4 inch round, rolled, angle-cut polished stainless steel tips. Bolt on true American-made engineering backed by Borla’s legendary Million-Mile Warranty.
