Borla S-Type True Dual Cat-Back Exhaust System with Quad Black Chrome Tips (140820BC) - 2020-2026 Explorer ST / Platinum & 2020-2025 Lincoln Aviator 3.0L V6 EcoBoost
Wake up the high-performance spirit of your performance SUV with the high-impact Borla S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered for 2020 to 2026 Ford Explorer ST, Explorer Platinum, and 2020 to 2025 Lincoln Aviator 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 3.0L V6 EcoBoost twin-turbo engine a perfectly balanced, crisp 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 family road trips.
The internal engineering of the Borla 140820BC targets key factory flow restrictions by incorporating an upgraded high-efficiency performance layout featuring a 2.25-inch True Dual pipe design that maintains optimal velocity from the front downpipes back to the rear mufflers. This true dual 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 an ultra-aggressive quad rear exit layout finished with dual 4-inch round, rolled edge angle-cut black chrome premium T-304 stainless steel tips on each rear muffler assembly. 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.
Black Chrome Tip Care & Maintenance: The premium 4-inch black chrome finish on this system requires specific maintenance to safeguard its deep, mirror-like luster. Using abrasive metal cleaner or standard stainless steel polishes (such as Borla 21499) is NOT recommended with these specialized black chrome tips. To avoid damaging the finish, simply clean the tips using hot water and a soft microfiber cloth.
Body, Model & Drivetrain Configuration Notes: This premium performance exhaust system is precision-tailored out of the box to accommodate 4-door SUV models equipped with the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine. It provides an exact direct-fit installation on both Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD) layout platforms. No cutting or welding is required for installation, making it a stress-free bolt-on upgrade that clamps directly to your factory connection points.
