I had the Atak catback system on my car before I had the LT headers installed and loved it but after they were installed it was just to loud so i went back to the GM performance mufflers with the borla piping and it sounds great.

Agreed! I have LT headers with the GM Performance Track Pack Exhaust (same as Borla S-type) and love the sound.

I don't mind loud as long as it's not that raspy annoying kinda loud

S-type with headers, Atak without. I had the Atak with header on my Camaro and it lasted a week, haha

Ok... I finally had a chance to work on some audio clips. I'll post up a drive-by and in car audio once I can get an assistant to operate the camera/microphone...

The below is a 4 minute mp3 of the Borla Atak Catback start and warm-up (LS3)

Any chance someone has S Type Axleback sound clips?

My car is going to be stock besides the Axleback and maybe a CAI, and I'm currently deciding between the ATAK and S Type.

I have the Borla S Type axle back with a K&N CAI on my SS and I like the sound, but I can't wait to throw a set of long tube headers on the car ! If I were you, I'd get a set of high flow cats as well, or go all out and buy some Stainless Power 1 7/8" headers with cats to finish the job. The Borla S Type mufflers just aren't quite enough for me. My 2c

My apologies if I am taking this thread in another direction. There has been some good input here and I just didn't want to start another thread.

I am going to be doing some exhaust mods in the near future in the same ballpark as everyone else here. I am going to start with the S Type and add some LT Headers by the end of the year. That being said, what is the benefit of purchasing the cat back S Type versus buying just the axle back? Remember I will be adding LT's in the future. I will not be doing a Cat delete, or at least I am not intending to at this point.

The c/b will have smoother bends and transitions to the bends, along with no flat spots in the tubing like the stocker does. The 304SS Borla uses is also of a much higher quality than the OEM 409SS system. I really like the SLP system with the mid-mounted resonators as well as the Borla S-type system. Pypes also makes a great sounding mid-mounted system as well. I have the Flowmaster Outlaw a/b and it has pretty good tone, but it's wake the dead loud, even with stock manifolds. It also drones ridiculously so @ 1950-2100rpm. Can hardly hear myself think.

You don't know the meaning of "wake the dead" until you add long tube headers. You wouldn't hear the axle back beside my car lol
