The exhaust specialist stays faithful to its commitment in the case of the Shelby GT500 as well, which has done treated to a dual cat-back setup with 3.0-inch tubing while maintaining the active butterfly flaps of the stock exhaust.
The Borla Atak guarantees to deliver “threatening” and “head-turning” sounds, which are suiting for the King of the Mustangs as well as the most compelling series-production Ford ever. In enhancement to No-Drone technology, the aftermarket exhaust also possesses something called SwitchFire.
That’s the title of the X-pipe, a comprehensive design that blends sound from both sides of the engine. Intended to replace the OEM resonator, the SwitchFire also improves the supercharged engine’s potential thanks to better flow. T-304 tubing is used completely throughout the X-pipe, and like the rest of the exhaust system, the bolt-on addition is covered by a million-mile warranty.
The Atak is curved off by a quarter of 5.0-inch exhaust tips, accessible in no fewer than three flavors. These are chrome, black chrome, or carbon fiber for the greatest visual show. And no, the Borla upgrade won’t void the factory warranty as per the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975.
The subsequent video shows the Borla’s aural properties over the stock exhaust, and certainly, the Shelby GT500 sounds better with the latter system at idle and under acceleration. The deeper and tougher growl suits the supercharged pony-turned-muscle-car’s personality perfectly.
Sadly for considered customers, part number 140837 isn’t available to buy nor do we know its price at the time of publishing. For mention, the cat-back Atak with a merge X-pipe layout for the Shelby GT350 is placed at $2,110.99 without shipping. UPS Ground for New York adds near to $85 to the tally, and given the complexity of the SwitchFire X-pipe, the exhaust system for the Shelby GT500 is undeniably a little more costly.
There is no way somebody can get a crispier sound than the one on this Shelby right here unless you’re engine is naked of course, but otherwise, this might be one of the best long-term upgrades you can buy for such a beast like this and being available with the remote flaps system is like having a demon under the hood at the press of a little button.
The upgrade also messes up with your air intake which is not a bad thing at all, cooling the engine faster and getting more ponies out of your engine for the price of the exhaust system itself and nothing extra.
