Borla ATAK axleback sound
Do these mufflers change their tone or back the volume down a little after break in? Just got them put on and they are pretty loud/tinny sounding with the Stainless Works long tube headers. Just curious if their sound changes after break in???

Ask the neighbor...
sorry could not resist. Usually they "break in" and get quieter, but quieter is subjective |

They’ll break in and get a tad quieter, but no offense what did you expect from long tubes and aftermarket mufflers besides loud?

The volume of every exhaust I've ever had on my cars never got quieter. Maybe yours will according to the other 2 posts. But I don't see anyone being able to tell the difference in it even if it does. Borla S Type may have been a better choice for you.

I don't think mine changed much.

I got the S-type AB and noticed a SLIGHT volume increase. Nothing too noticeable

I don't mind loud, but the tone doesn't sound near as good in person as it does in the clips I watched on YouTube. Maybe it's better from outside the car. Still way better than the long tubes running into the stock muffler.

Sounds like you might have wanted to go with borla’s S Type rather than the Atak muffler, the Atak has a much louder raspier sound in comparison. You could also swap out the factory xpipe and get rid of the secondary cats and see if that makes it more to your liking.

My girlfriend's 2019 2SS has a Solo Performance axleback it doesn't have mufflers but after 500 miles and everything got snotted up it does sound a bit louder. Just my first hand experience. Do you have the Atak NPP? If so when Maxi/Me put my axleback on I instructed him to cut one set of the ears off on the actuator per the TSB on the NPP valve rattle while we had them off the stock and reinstalled on the new S-Type axleback. I don't have any tinny sound but I don't have headers and I'm stock. |
