Borla S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust System with Single Bright Chrome Tips (140825) - 2020-2025 Ford Explorer Limited 2.3L EcoBoost (Models with Factory Chrome Tips)
Wake up the high-performance spirit of your SUV with the high-impact Borla S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered for 2020 to 2025 Ford Explorer Limited models equipped with the 2.3L EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine and the optional factory-integrated bumper exhaust cutout design, this premium upgrade introduces Borla's legendary acoustic profile: the classic S-Type sound level. Formulated explicitly for driving enthusiasts and performance purists who crave a balanced, sport-tuned exhaust note under acceleration, this system is calibrated to give the 2.3L inline four-cylinder engine a crisp, athletic 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 140825 targets key factory flow restrictions by incorporating an upgraded high-efficiency performance layout featuring a 2.25-inch pipeline setup to optimize gas velocity. 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 factory-style rear split design finished with a single 4-inch round, rolled edge angle-cut bright chrome premium mirror-polished T-304 stainless steel tip on each rear muffler assembly that aligns beautifully inside your bumper openings. 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.
Factory Rear Bumper Opening Compatibility Notes: This premium performance exhaust system is precision-tailored out of the box exclusively for 4-door Ford Explorer models built with the optional factory chrome tip bumper configurations. It is engineered to seamlessly fill the existing rear fascia cutouts for a highly polished, OEM-plus look. No cutting, welding, or rear bumper modification is required for installation, making it a stress-free bolt-on upgrade that clamps directly to your factory connection points.
