Borla ATAK True Dual Cat-Back Exhaust System with Quad Carbon Fiber Tips (140821CF) - 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 ATAK 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 race-inspired ATAK (Acoustically Tuned Applied Kinetics) sound level. Formulated explicitly for driving enthusiasts and performance purists who crave an aggressive, attention-grabbing exhaust note under acceleration, this system is calibrated to give the 3.0L V6 EcoBoost twin-turbo engine a bold, track-ready roar. 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 140821CF targets key factory flow restrictions by incorporating an upgraded high-efficiency performance layout featuring a 2.25-inch True Dual pipe design. The core design features a specialized front muffler assembly containing an internal H-pipe configuration, strategically engineered to maximize exhaust velocity, optimize scavenging crossover, and balance the acoustic profile for increased horsepower and sharper throttle response. This performance architecture utilizes ultra-smooth mandrel bends and patented multi-core internal geometry that maximizes exhaust velocity 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 angle-cut carbon fiber tips with bright precision-machined stainless steel centers 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.
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.
