Borla Performance Industries Catback system for the celebrated 1986-1991 C4 Corvette equipped with a 5.7L V-8 engine has been engineered to work with either the popular manual transmission or the automatic. The premium, high-quality, T-304 Austenitic stainless steel system is easy to bolt on, is a direct replacement for the much heavier (by some 20lbs.!) stock system. A 3" diameter front pipe is mounted just after the catalytic converter leading to a Y-pipe, which splits into two 2-1/2" pipes exiting on each side of the rear. The muffler and tip assemblies use a 10"x 5" diameter round muffler on each side of the vehicle, with polished T-304 stainless steel rectangular, rolled edge, angle cut tailpipe tip at each split rear exit. Tests have shown an exciting 41% increase in flow for dramatic improvement in power or fuel economy. That now famous, aggressive Borla growl and sexy look proclaim this block may be small, but it means all business we guarantee it for a Million-Miles! With race-bred technology that has been transferred from the many successful Borla race programs, it was no accident that this Borla system has won several major Corvette exhaust shootouts. Included in this great and storied past are such famous efforts as the C5-R Race Team that has dominated LeMans along with the Bondurant Corvette program at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. Only what you would expect from Borla, the most winning exhaust in racing.

An exhaust system plays an essential role in a vehicle. It is not just responsible for making that loud sound you often hear, but it allows your engine to perform at its optimum by allowing a better exhaust gas flow—the smoother the flow, less restriction, which means more horsepower.
There are tons of exhaust manufacturers out there, but one name is widely known worldwide, and that is Borla. This name has become synonymous with performance and is used by millions of enthusiasts on the streets and the track.
Huge power gains and a clear tone that’s second to none describe Borla exhaust systems in a nutshell. From the historic backroads of the Appalachian region to the twisting canyons of Malibu, Borla’s operations span the American car scene from coast to coast. The brand’s 100-acre manufacturing and distribution plant is located in Johnson City, Tennessee, and employs the nation’s finest metalworkers.
What’s more, its west coast R&D facility in Oxnard, California, is staffed by the industry’s top engineers and fabricators. Borla is a company comprised of passionate and educated gearheads, and it’s evident in both products and customer service.
Borla Exhaust prides itself on manufacturing a wide selection of premium exhaust systems, headers, and mufflers right here in the USA. These are made from ultra-high-quality T-304 stainless steel.
Borla’s cat-back systems are made from fully-welded, mandrel-bent tubing and are performance-tuned to generate up to 15% more horsepower than stock figures.
It is part of the reason why you will find Borla systems at professional racetracks all around the globe. Borla is so confident in its performance exhaust systems that it even backs them up with a Million-Mile Warranty.
Alex Borla currently holds several U.S. patents for innovative exhaust system technology, and the company has won numerous "Best New Product" awards in the industry. Since its inception, Borla has garnered a name as the leader in exhaust systems and induction. As the pioneer of aftermarket performance exhausts, Borla’s product lineup is unique in various ways.
All Borla parts are carefully crafted from quality exotic materials like stainless steel, titanium, and carbon fiber. Secondly, the muffler design allows for a precise fit and an easy bolt-on installation process. For over 30 years, hundreds of other exhaust manufacturers have tried to imitate Borla’s winning formula but haven’t come close.
Borla’s patented and race-bred muffler technology consistently delivers the best sound enhancements and performance exhaust capabilities. It is because every system features performance mufflers designed specifically for each application.
Whether it’s for a BMW, Mustang, Corvette, Mini Cooper, RAM, Jeep, or Subaru, you can be sure that the muffler technology has been intricately catered to the year, make, and model of your specific vehicle application.
Each of Borla’s aftermarket exhaust systems comes with the maximum horsepower and torque available throughout the entire RPM range. The brand’s patented XR-1 technology can be found in the ATAK, S-Type, and Touring systems, so customers can pick the sound level they desire with the confidence that it will also increase power to the highest degree.
Touring Series - Borla's Touring Series exhaust systems are perfect for enthusiasts who want the performance of an aftermarket exhaust while retaining a sound similar to stock. Touring Series is louder than stock, but it's much quieter than nearly any other aftermarket exhaust available. It is perfect for someone who wants to hear their car when opening the throttle but wants to keep it quiet in town.
S-Type Series - The S-Type Series from Borla is just a set above the Touring Series. It provides a great exhaust note while remaining relatively quiet when cruising. It is popular for most enthusiasts since the S-Type is the perfect exhaust note and exhaust volume blend.
ATAK Series - For enthusiasts who want the loudest, rowdiest, and rawest exhaust note possible, Borla offers the ATAK Series. The ATAK Series is significantly louder than stock and louder than many comparable aftermarket systems.
There is no better time than right now to upgrade your vehicle’s exhaust system and unleash its true potential. Vivid Racing is pleased to carry a wide range of Borla exhaust systems and parts for various cars.
