Received my exhaust earlier this week. Tried to install myself, but the pipe would not fit over the mid pipe.....very frustrating. Took it to a muffler shop to have it expanded. This split the pipe as we were trying to get it to the same size as the stock exhaust. They had me bring the Jeep in and they installed for me. Put the exhaust on, welded the split and put a nice big clamp on, so no leaks thank goodness. Quite aggravating after spending $600. Also noticed after getting home that on the inside of the tip, the paint was peeling. I would certainly inspect closely before installing if you buy one of these.

Hi. I'm sorry to hear about this! Please email my customer service manager regarding this matter. His email is [email protected]. We will take care of you. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience and the trouble.

Awesome!! I will wait to buy my next exhaust until I watch the video. I am torn between the Borla Climber, AFE Mach Force and MBRP 304 steel Catback. Dark horse is a StainlessWorks 304 catback.

I ordered the Atak and at the last minute had them change it to the SType. I installed it today and couldn't be happier, I wanted deep but not super loud. My teenage years are far behind me so this was a great fit. The best part is getting rid of the tin can which for me was an eye sore.

I am close to making a call on the Borla Climber S-Type and the AFE HiTuck Catback. I want to confirm you are still really happy with the sound of the Borla Climbe S-type. So no droning or too loud especially when say going up hills in a lower gear. That is where my current Magnaflow Rock Crawler can get both too loud and drone a bit.

Based on the forum chatter if you guys release a climber catback system with a touring muffler it will be like printing money. Left and right people are installing and then replacing current catback systems (including a few Borla users) bc they are too loud. @Lisa@Borla .

alright guys the new video is up with interior sound for the Borla Climber exhaust system, sound is measured with a decibel meter via my phone hope this helps people decide on their exhaust!!

I had the same issue bought an expander and was able to get it big enough to install, but still a tight fit. Also had some paint peel inside the tips, Borla replaced it under warranty. Problem is the second system had the same issues. Very tight fit and paint peeling within first 20 miles, worse than the first system. Still waiting on Borla to resolve the problem.

I heard back from Borla the other day and they told me there are no plans to offer a touring muffler with the climber system. That leaves the Pypes Street Pro muffler (their version of touring) on their catback exhaust. That or wait for Dynomax to come out with their JL exhaust with a mild tone muffler.

I have continued to hear the AFE Mach Hi-Tuck exhaust does not drone and is not as loud as MF or Borla. It can get up there a bit if you mash it hard but off roaders tend not to do that. On or off the road.

I have the same issue with the black finish coming off the Touring muffler. Installed it Friday, by Sunday it’s peeling off

I understand your dilemma. You can’t go by any video sound.
I got the S-type and it is very quiet. Just a low growl. Really nice but if you want to make noise and get people to turn their heads I think you got to go with the Atak.

Did you get the S-type rock climber single exhaust or the axle back dual? Are you still happy with the sound and feel its not really all that loud?

I got S-type axel back dual. Very happy with it. It’s not loud. I would still like it if it were a bit louder.
