2013 Boss 302 + Borla S-Type Axlebacks install

2013 Boss 302 + Borla S-Type Axlebacks install


Just made the switch, minimal install issues, went fine.


First impressions:
•Look and fitment as good as can be
•Sound different than stock but subtle
•Pricey
•Pricey
After running a day with these I question whether the change was really worth the cost. I run open side exhaust as it is and that was a noticeable change with the stock mufflers. Don't get me wrong I don't dislike the Borlas but if I knew how the subtle the change would be I'm questioning whether I would do it again.

It's a huge change on GT's, but I can see your point on a Boss. Good thing is, you could probably resell them for 80% of what you paid for them if you end up not liking.

Pick up a set of roush mufflers and a good h pipe. You will be happy

+1 on the Roush dual chamber exhaust.

I run them with the Boss side pipes. They are loud and obnoxious just like a muscle car should be. I love the way mine sounds! My side pipes are about 1/2 to 3/4 open using the QTP electronic cutouts. Awesome sound and just enough crackle and pop...

I had Borla S-Type's on my '12 GT. Wasn't a big fan.

I went with Corsa Extreme on my Boss... there's nothing "subtle" about them. I'm in love.

What'd you not like about the S-Types?

The exhaust note just wasn't as deep as I like. The build quality was definitely very high though.
