What Owners Say
Owners and enthusiasts consistently praise the Borla ATAK for delivering a deep, aggressive tone that transforms the driving experience, with many noting it's a significant upgrade over stock exhaust sound. The axle-back configuration offers easier installation while capturing much of the acoustic character of the full cat-back system. However, some buyers feel the price point is steep for what you get, and drone can be an issue depending on the vehicle application—one Veloster N owner found it miserable enough to add a resonator. Despite the cost concerns, most would make the same purchase again, appreciating the quality construction and distinctive sound that Borla's ATAK series has built its reputation on.
