Borla engineered this axle-back exhaust specifically for the 2.7L Ford Bronco. The aggressive ATAK sound level provides a more exciting drive without any drone. The entire assembly is coated black with a high-temperature finish. The system uses a 2.5in inlet that flows into a 2.75in pipe and exits through dual 2.5in tail pipes with a single 4in round black coated T-304 stainless steel tip on each tail pipe. A custom muffler hanger design tucks the hanger out of sight for a clean appearance. T-304 stainless steel construction adds durability over the stock exhaust, while ultra-smooth mandrel bends and precision CNC manufacturing ensure maximum flow and an accurate fit. This axle-back installs behind the factory catalytic converter and retains all factory emissions equipment. It is made in the USA and backed by Borla's Million-Mile Warranty.
