Borla S-Type Classic Cat-Back Exhaust System for 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette (C5/ C5 Z06) 5.7L V8 Automatic/ Manual Transmission Rear Wheel Drive Coupe/ Convertible. (140039)

Upgrading your factory exhaust system to a Borla stainless steel performance exhaust system with a more efficient and less restrictive design can improve sound (adding more enjoyment driving your vehicle) and increase engine horsepower and torque throughout the RPM range (allowing quicker acceleration to pass a vehicle or get to highway speeds quicker). Borla offers Axle Back exhaust systems, Cat back exhaust systems, and for select Competition-Use-Only vehicles, we offer long tube headers to replace your exhaust manifold for the best performance and sound.

The Borla "Cat Back™" name implies the exhaust system is located behind the factory catalytic converter where there factory emissions remain untouched and vehicle stays emissions compliant. This remains distinct from the Axle Back exhaust system that is located behind the rear axle. Alex Borla coined the phrase 'Cat Back' and introduced the Cat Back performance exhaust in 1978, a bolt-on replacement performance exhaust system requiring no welding, thus being secured using the factory hanger locations.

Borla Cat Back exhaust systems use engine-specific (not universal) mufflers that are designed, tested, and optimized specifically for a particular year/make/model vehicle. Borla Cat Back systems increase the overall sound level & performance. Vehicles that don't have a factory service-point require "cutting" the factory exhaust system before installing a Borla Cat Back performance exhaust system. Borla includes instructions where to make this cut and includes the hardware to complete the installation. Many of today's modern vehicles have a factory service-point in the exhaust system (flange or slip-fit) located in the exhaust tubing behind the catalytic converter. A Borla Cat Back performance exhaust system replaces the factory exhaust system (behind this service-point) following the same exhaust path and secured using the original vehicle hangars and rubber isolators. Borla pioneered the automotive exhaust aftermarket in exhausts constructed in aircraft grade 304 stainless steel tubing, a material with higher content of carbon & nickel that won't rust or corrode.

S-Type Classic sound. BORLA Performance has once again proven why we've have led the aftermarket performance exhaust industry for over 40 years. BORLA has an exalted heritage with Chevrolet performance vehicles. From the C5R LeMans winning Corvettes to privateers like KTEC, Pratt-Miller, Lingenfelter and Lou Gigliotti who have enhanced BORLA's knowledge of both the vehicle dynamics and the power-plant engineering. The C5 is a muscle car with a big powerful engine on a sophisticated, sexy chassis. BORLA has always used the transfer of technology from racing to the street as a tool, and the C5, and C5 Z06 play right into that wheelhouse. With an experienced R&D staff, the BORLA team has given the Chevrolet mark the attention it deserves by rolling out several new systems for the Corvette. Airflow management and exhaust engineering is a science with which BORLA has more experience than anyone in the exhaust aftermarket. BORLA offers a variety of options for the C5, and C5 Z06. Choose from several tip styles and muffler designs. Cat-Backs and Axle-Backs are available with either the highly popular 'S-Type' muffler or the 'Touring' muffler. The 'S-Type' is a smaller, round muffler with a center-in/center-out configuration giving a more aggressive sound and higher flow. For those who prefer it on the milder side, we have the 'Touring' muffler - a larger case producing less aggressive sound. Some come with an assortment of tip designs. BORLA Performance Industries, the original pioneers of premium, high quality T-304 austenitic stainless steel (superior to 409 or aluminized steel) free-flow exhaust utilizes patented award and race winning technology to deliver quality, sound, performance gains and enhanced fuel economy ' all with an easy bolt-on installation. Best of all, BORLA street products carry an unsurpassed written million-mile warranty.
