I have a 2014 1LE bone stock. Ove rthe winter I am putting on a CAI and exhaust. I am torn between the Borla S or the atak (cat back). Anyone out there have/or heard the atak. I have heard it is kinda "poppy" and doesnt sound that good. Any good ideas on CAI's? I have been out of the camaro loop since 2005 (had a 2000 Z28). Any advice/opinions would be appreciated. I will post pics later and throughout the install.

The S-Type has a nice deep tone but has some drone. The ATAK is louder but has a raspy sound at higher RPMs. CAI Inc intakes are by far the most popular intake system these days. Here is a tech article with some more info.

They are pretty popular. With the J-pipes you definitely do not have to worry about drone.

From the exhaust choices listed, I prefer the Borla S over the Atak. I'm personally not a big fan of the Atak.

As for intakes CAI is the most popular, but Roto-Fab and Airaid are also good ones to consider.

I have 2013 2SS/RSS L99. My first Camaro ever and lovin' it! Installed both the CAI and Borla S-type at 1500 miles. Both are awesome. S-type has nice, deep tone and the CAI has a nice "swoosh." And even better after about 500 miles or so installed. Both bought from APEX....easy-to-order, great service and price! Looking at APEX catch-can and a PTB next!

Glad to hear you are loving your upgrades. Thanks for your orders.

YouTube the exhaust you want for sound. Not much to gain hp wise just sound.

As far as an intake goes. Get you a plastic tube intake like the Rotofab, ADM race or haltech. Those are some good intakes to go with.

Mannsiam · 11-04-2013, 07:27 AM

Looks like I am gong to go with a Borla "S" type and a CAI intake. I will order them from APEX Motorsport in a few weeks. Thank YOu for all the information and ideas.
