With headers - Type S. Fairly loud, deep muscle car sound.

Without headers - ATAK

ATAK with headers is very raspy and unrefined. It was designed to go with factory manifolds.

I heard an SS auto with LT's, a blower cam and the ATAK mufflers. I will be going with the ATAK, I love that raspy tone!

That is a pretty good recommendation. The S-Type is also a good option without headers if you are not wanting something real loud. Jump to the 2:40 mark on this video for back to back comparisons of the Borla systems from inside and outside the car.

+1...I have the s type now, have heard it with headers and has a great tone to it.

ATAK is pretty loud without headers, some people love them with LTs. They just get a bit too raspy for me.

If you think you will have headers later at any point, go S type. If you are certain you will not throw down 1600k for headers and a tune then I would go ATAK.

I ordered the atak last week. I wanted to go with the s type, but the atak seemed to have more pop to it, when you hit the gas. S type sound's deep, and good with headers. It's at the shop right now, just waiting for the mechanic to have an opening, can't wait.
