I absolutely love loud v8s till the day I die, but the option of stealth when needed seems pretty cool. Especially when you live in a quiet neighborhood and have to leave for work at 5am.
Great review and comparison I have not found any post that compare stock to Borla and I did not know the sound difference that was helpful on my decision
MojaveKY I agree I do think I will stay stock Borla is a little deeper sound but not enough for me to change out thank you Video helped me on my decision
Very nice. I love the Atak exhaust. I went with Flowmaster American thunder npp. It’s probably the most extreme of the exhaust out there for camaro. Outlaw muffler and delta 40 series the npp switches between. The outlaw side can be a bit much for some because it can gurgle and pop at high RPM. And it does drone, but I kind of like that and disappears at 60 mph plus. The Borlas are built probably the best out of all of them from what Ive heard though. I still haven’t cut the resonators, but may just wait to cut them off all together when I get Headers.
Awesome! I just got my Borla ATAK Axleback Dual mode week ago for my 2017 1LE! Hopefully get it installed next weekend. Surely video doesn’t do it justice probably sounds even better in person. I ordered the carbon fiber with black piping tips to hopefully help the tips look better my stock NNP dual mode tips look horrible 😣 thanks for posting!
Is the Atak much louder than the dual mode exhaust package chevy has for $995? I'm not sure if I want to buy it, I want it louder but don't know if its worth the 2k.
MojaveKY just wondering since you've heard both in person. Is there a significant difference between the Borla Atak axleback and the NPP in person? They sound about equal in terms of loud thru the video. thanks!
yeah the sound is different from both. I think the borla sounds great and if I did not have NPP I would get it but if you have NPP. not worth the money for a difference in exhaust note.
right on bro. I'm doing research on how to make it louder without throwing away the NPP. One possibility is getting the X-Pipe from Borla and connecting that to the NPP stock exhaust system.
biggest would be headers but not sure how far you want to go. Also CAI is supposed to make some difference as well. NPP is a nice note but I would enjoy more of a nasty note
Hello I already ordered this Borla 140727 ATAK ,I still waiting to delivery for my 2018 Camaro zl1 1le package ,do you think is worth 2000$ for this item? Thank you
I would do away with the NPP (pull the fuse) and have the AFM deleted (tuned out) because that AFM system is bad for the engine. Especially your valves and lifters. Leads to premature lifter and engine failure.
Borla sounds nice. Definitely much deeper than stock. I am just not sure if I can swallow that cost just for axle back. Flowmaster definitely has a good price point, but I am thinking more along the lines of Stainless Works (no cutting no welding).
yes and if you have the NPP controls that means you paid for the NPP ($1200) and took it off then paid another whatever amount. It ends up being a lot of cash
Yep. I have 18 1LE so it came with it. But you are absolutely right about it. I will drive it for at least a little while before changing the exhaust. Difficult to justify dropping $2K for a little more sound (although its a nice sound) 😀
@Virus world the catback and axel back should be fine. never had issue at dealer with them but if you touch the cats and headers I have heard people have the dealer deny warranty
Why are you saying that stealth sounds awful? THAT'S THE POINT GENIUS! If you're leaving early in the morning or coming in late at night and you don't want to wake your wife and kids....honda accord mode is A+
@@MojaveKY I have this same exhaust on my SS 1LE, and it sounds completely neutered when in stealth mode (which it never is). That's the point of stealth mode..
The thing about driving in Stealth mode is when your giving it the beans, and run up on a cop you can kill the noise! I normally ride in track mode, so I can hear the goodness of Murcia Muscle! But there are those times that stealth has saved me! I’m getting headers and full exhaust but tossed up on if I should ditch the stock mufflers are keep them at the moment because of the Dual mode that it came with in the first place.
I just pulled my NPP fuse, so my exhaust is always in track mode. No cop will pull you over for that exhaust unless your revving it up, right next to them.
I got the mbrp catback xp series race version. It seems way louder than the atak. I can't confirm, but holy fuck it's loud. I'll have to buy the muffler pipes that come on the street version of it if it attracts too much police attention or wakes up my neighbors too often lol. LOUD AF with all cats and everything stock besides a rotofab cai, would recommend!
Stealth Mode is still loud at cold start. I honestly believe that I still disturb neighbors every morning when I crank my Camaro. Its still pretty throaty the only difference between it and sport/track mode is that after the engine rev down to idle rpm, the exhaust note is “little” more subdued and a lot less deep. From the passenger compartment stealth mode does give the Camaro a more refined engine sound when accelerating with no drone. Still a PITA but the coolest thing about stealth mode is hearing the exhaust flap close just prior to the engine starting and controlling which exhaust tip you’ll see the condensation from the warm exhaust hit the cold air through.
yes my car is lowered on the aFe lowering springs. TH-cam flagged that video because of music so I took it down but if I find the original source data I will put the lowering video back up. No spacers but the 50th Gen in the video has some sick wide tires
Is it me or does your exhaust seem louder in Track Sport than the Borla? The Borla definitely has that deeper tone that I prefer though. Stealth mode 😂😂😂😂 just snap off that button so no one presses it.
@@mitul.323 does you know if it stays in whatever exhaust mode I put it in? Like for example if I leave it in track or sport will it always start up loud?
Nice!! Thanks bro. Good times. 😂😂
Thanks man ! More of our collab on the way
Wow! This is definitely one car that doesn’t need an exhaust, but Borla killed it in the best way possible. That sounds awesome
Should I Get It it has such a sweet deep rumble
I absolutely love loud v8s till the day I die, but the option of stealth when needed seems pretty cool. Especially when you live in a quiet neighborhood and have to leave for work at 5am.
Definitely helps
Sounds good. I love the Borla ATAK. One of the best exhaust systems for the 5th & 6th gen Camaros in my opinion!
I really liked it as well. Deep and mean
Is this the aggressive or aggressive+
Great review and comparison I have not found any post that compare stock to Borla and I did not know the sound difference that was helpful on my decision
Thanks, they both sound good but sound is a very personal choice
MojaveKY
I agree I do think I will stay stock Borla is a little deeper sound but not enough for me to change out thank you
Video helped me on my decision
yeah I think with some other mods you can get a more deep noise

I still haven’t cut the resonators, but may just wait to cut them off all together when I get Headers.
I can see getting headers in the future but would really like to get e85 soon
Thanks man!
Nice vid!!!!
Thanks
I like the NPP all around. Borla just doesn't sound better to change it.
yea hard to put more money into that when I want so many other things for the car

@@MojaveKY yeah was trying not to go the header route since that voids warranty. x pipe wouldnt make it louder?
I think it would. just throwing out options and I get the header thing.

Honestly the stock exhaust is really nice especially if you are on the high end. Congratulations on that car. That car is an amazing beast
Thank you so much

I’m trying longtube headers with cat delete on the stock npp and see what kinda sound I can get be4 I buy a diff exhaust
That will sound amazing !
Did you get any leaks after you installed the borla atak axle back ?
After a month I had to retighten things but after that it was solid
@@MojaveKY thanks brother !
Why are you saying that stealth sounds awful? THAT'S THE POINT GENIUS! If you're leaving early in the morning or coming in late at night and you don't want to wake your wife and kids....honda accord mode is A+
No I mean raspy. I get the quiet part but it isn't much quieter and sounds bad
@@MojaveKY I have this same exhaust on my SS 1LE, and it sounds completely neutered when in stealth mode (which it never is). That's the point of stealth mode..
In fairness you also seemed a little perplexed by the Tour mode being quieter on the Borla. Lol.

true. I am very quiet right now. hope to change that some day

You going to Camaro Con? Would love to hear
MojaveKY No, I live in NY and work too much :(. Oh but yeah I've gained 3-4 mpg lol
What is stealth mode and or how do you activate it. I have a 2016 2ss
You do it through the MyLink

My wife would love stealth mode 🤫
Works well with NPP
Very nice. Will be watching the stream next weekend!
Not joining?
He has not said anything about it....LOL
Is ur car lowered and any spacers
yes my car is lowered on the aFe lowering springs. TH-cam flagged that video because of music so I took it down but if I find the original source data I will put the lowering video back up. No spacers but the 50th Gen in the video has some sick wide tires
MojaveKY nice how low did you go on drop looking to drop my car soon then wanna buy some staggered 20inch
I want to say it is a 1.25" drop. it really makes the car look great
Is it me or does your exhaust seem louder in Track Sport than the Borla? The Borla definitely has that deeper tone that I prefer though. Stealth mode 😂😂😂😂 just snap off that button so no one presses it.
yes I need to write code to remove that asap
I use stealth on weekdays driving to work and if I go for a drive late at night. Not everyone wants to be loud and obnoxious 100% of the time.
M 99% for me haha
@@mitul.323 does you know if it stays in whatever exhaust mode I put it in? Like for example if I leave it in track or sport will it always start up loud?
There is no 50th gen. It’s 6th gen 50th anniversary
Stetson Jackson yes very true. I just couldn't stop saying it that way
MojaveKY sorry lol. Just noticed it in this video and the other where you talked about his car and what was different on it. Good videos though!
I thought about reshooting it but figured I would just screw it up again
MojaveKY ah no need in reshooting it!
stock dual mode sounds way better
Yeah it is really good
I don’t like the atak. Stock better for sure
Like the npp better
Yeah so much person preference on exhaust noise
The NPP sounds better all around...
I like both. His is way deeper
I'm surprised but I like the npp better too.
Hey Clayton ! Good to see ya ! You might change your mind if you heard in person.
Its nice but not worth another 2000 dollars
Agreed
