We are located in the Marietta/Kennesaw area. We're a dealer only, and do not have a local walk-in show room. By functioning as an internet-only dealer we're able to keep our overhead costs down and pass on the savings to you in the form of the cheapest exhaust prices online. If you do wish to pick up locally, however, just give us a call and we will do what we can to work with you and set-up a scheduled pick-up from our warehouse. Of course, on items with Free Shipping, that feels like kind of a moot point. Thanks, Matt |

Just ordered a cat back Atak system! Here's to hoping I'll receive them early next week
I'm assuming you guys have 'em in stock? |

Again, my experience with the L99 is limited, and I'd be willing to bet some other forum members could give you more sound advice, but, my preference lies with the ATAK. Thanks, Matt |

I watched all the Borla video comparisons.
I really wish I could hear a V6 though. The sounds are no where near the V8 (on stock), and I would really like a decent sound clip to hear. have any of you found any decent sound clips of the borla catbacks on a V6?? I only hear some idle (in-garage) youtubes. I'd be ready to make a purchase this week if i can get a sample sound on the atak and/or sport pipes. Any help would be appreciated. |

That'll explain why you can't find any ATAK or Sport clips for the V6. The V6 Exhaust system is most comparable to a Sport system, that being said, and gives a great tone. I've only ever done one install on a V6 though, so I don't have any videos available. Hope this helps. Thanks, Matt |

The Borla Exhaust have been HUGE sellers...Since they are so popular and I get the same questions, I wanted to share some thoughts before you make a decision on which one to go with...
There are several flavors for the Camaro now..... In the ATAK Series you have the Camaro ATAK CatBack Exhaust System Camaro Axleback ATAK Exhaust Camaro ATAK Catback Exhaust for Camaros with Ground Effects Package Camaro ATAK Axleback Exhaust for Camaros with Ground Effects Package Then you have the Borla Camaro Catback Touring System (which does not sound much different than stock. For the person who wants the increased performance with no additional change in exhaust note) and then in the Borla Sport lineup (which is my favorite)... Camaro Borla Sport Catback Camaro Borla Sport Axleback Exhaust and the only 3" Borla system (OEM system and the other above systems are 2.5") Borla 3" Camaro Sport Catback Exhaust If you get the 3" system, you will also want to get a new Camaro Billet Tunnel Brace as the 3" system will most likely touch your OEM tunnel Plate and rattle, which will drive you nuts!!! Some thoughts before purchasing any of them..... All of the Axle back systems require cutting the OEM system (which i am not a fan of, just in case you ever want to go back to stock). There is also one more "dirty"secret about the Axelbacks which needs to be known....When you install the Axleback it leaves in place the OEM Pre Muffler that is up towards the middle of the car. Not a big deal, but it DOES change the exhaust note slightly as compared to the Catback systems and does not make the L99 system a true dual exhaust as the Catback does. Both Axle Back and Catback systems are great systems and make a huge improvement in sound, but if you can afford to spring for the extra cash, do it right and get the Catback. From a sound perspective, you have the touring which sound not much different than stock. Then the Sport (my favorite) which bumps it up a notch from the sound perspective, but not too much. At the ATAK which is the most aggressive sounding of them all. All of Borla's systems are awesome, but thought prospective shoppers would want to know the down and dirty on each one... See ya, Jim |

So I have the Borla ATAK catback sitting in my house. How easy is the install (no lift available and no prior exhaust install experience) and how much would a shop charge for it? Any special tools required?

So against my better judgement and yours, I decided to try it this weekend with the two back tires on ramps. Actually completed the install in a little under 2 hrs so it ended up working out. We had three guys though to help manipulate the stock exhaust out. A lift definitely would have been easier of course.
As far as ATAK goes, it's incredible. Full throttle sounds like a race car. |

Also, glad you like it! I love the race-car notes and the crescendo up the RPM band that the ATAK has with the Camaro V8 engines. It's definitely my favorite C5 SS exhaust, also. Thanks, Matt |
