Borla S-Type High-Clearance Climber Cat-Back Exhaust System with Turn-Down Tip (140787) - 2018-2026 Jeep Wrangler JLU 2.0L Turbo 4-Door
Wake up the high-performance spirit of your rig with the high-impact Borla Climber Cat-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered for 2018 to 2026 Jeep Wrangler JLU 4-Door 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 performance purists who crave an aggressive, sport-tuned exhaust note under acceleration, this system is calibrated to give the high-output 2.0L 4-Cylinder Turbo 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 driving, or technical trail crawling.
The internal engineering of the Borla 140787 targets key factory flow restrictions by incorporating an upgraded high-efficiency performance layout featuring a single 2.75-inch inlet diameter that maintains maximum velocity across the platform. This performance architecture utilizes ultra-smooth mandrel bends 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. 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 specialized high-clearance turn-down tailpipe configuration finished with a 2.75-inch brushed T-304 stainless steel turn-down tip. Precision CNC-manufactured for an accurate line-to-line bolt-on fitment, this system utilizes factory mounting positions and is backed by Borla’s legendary lifetime Million-Mile Warranty.
High-Clearance Climber & Rock Crawler Design: Built explicitly for overland builders and off-road purists who plan to take the road less traveled, this specialized Climber Series system features a high-clearance tuck-away design. By routing the pipeline high under the chassis and finishing it with a short turn-down tip, it completely eliminates the bulky, vulnerable rear factory muffler assembly. This drastically improves your departure angles and keeps your exhaust safely out of harm's way when navigating steep obstacles, jagged rocks, and deep ruts.
Cab, Bed & Wheelbase Configuration Notes: This premium performance exhaust system is precision-tailored out of the box to accommodate specific 4-door Unlimited (JLU) arrangements on the modern Wrangler platform. It is engineered strictly for the 4-Door model layout carrying the 2.0L Turbo gas engine and accommodates both automatic and manual transmission configurations. Please note that this kit excludes specialized plug-in hybrid 4xe models.
