Yeah, I’ve been pretty vocal about how much I LOVE this exhaust. Have done quite a few mods but this has got to be one of my two faves (tied with my Rigid 360 series light kit from SPV). I have the Borla ATAK. It is fairly loud but has a deep growl that even the video I’ll include doesn’t quite capture; otherwise you can go S type for a good sound that’s a bit quieter. I’ve noticed no drone. Cruising at any speed is quite civilized (only a bit louder than stock) but it’s a barbarian when you open her up.

Listen to the following with good quality headphones. If you don’t like the way it sounds, go elsewhere because they capture the tone pretty well but the deep rumble in your chest you’ll only feel in person.

I think exhaust note is very important but also VERY personal; like different kinds of music. I don’t doubt that others touting their exhaust truly think it’s better than the Borla ATAK...because to them, it is. I’d listen to as many as you can but make sure it’s a good quality recording and listen to it with good headphones or speakers.


And here’s the best price I’ve seen in a while. They had them for $895 but it’s crept up just a tiny bit. I paid $1040 on sale.

I have Borla Atak Exhaust also on my 2019 Roush Raptor. When you start the truck I can agree with deep growl but for person that owned 2017 V8 Roush F150 Supercharged with Roush Exhaust (which is pretty much Borla Atak) I know what is to feel DEEP RUMBLE in your chest every time you press accelerator .... and on the RAPTOR its not DEEP RUMBLE in your chest my friend. On the V8 this exhaust sounds menacing. Its a neck braker even idling on the light. I love my Raptor but like I said it nowhere near DEEP RUMBLE with Borla Atak while driving (its more of deeper burble with some raspiness). You can hear real Deep Rumble in the link below of my old 2017 Roush Supercharged:
1st: 2017 V8 Roush F150 Supercharged

and just to compare now
2nd: 2019 Roush Raptor with Borla Atak (which in my opinion sound like chocking diesel with this Exhaust).

Two trucks where at the same location cold started around same temperature. For funny reference even my wife said and i quote "I dont like it ... its not Deep sound as before at all, its more of neighbor kid's Subaru sound with all mufflers taken off" that when I started my Raptor for the first time with Borla Atak. Like I stated before. I think its the deepest sounding Exhaust for Raptor as of now but not Deep Rumble when you drive it.

I got the Ford Performance Touring and I like it. Was a little much when first installed, but now that it's got a few miles on it, it's toned down. It's prob the quietest you can have, while being aftermarket.

0 drone, and in 8-10th gear, it's quieter than stock in the Cabin, with the fake exhaust sound plumbed through the speakers, turned off.

I ended up doing just the spd catted high flow downpipes. This woke it up just enough. Under normal driving it’s not much louder than stock. Get up to 4000 rpm and she sounds damn good. I’ve never owned a v6 before and I like the sound of keeping the stock exhaust with the new downpipes.

How come nobody mentioned the Corsa Sport exhaust? I have that on my 2012 Raptor and it is awesome! Have thought about adding it to my 2019 Raptor as well, but nervous about the sound....

I was always told the Borla and Flowmasters drone horribly. From what I read above that is all myth?

I have the AWE 0FG and love it - I have the Cobb tune and Turbosmart EM blow off valve.. so what it lacks in V8 sound, it gains in HP, and crazy turbo sounds.

Corsa X-Pipe Resonator Delete. Leave the stock cat back. It was cheap, easy, and I love the result. It gives the sound more tone and volume without being raspy and over the top. Cabin noise does increase in certain RPM ranges since you deleted the resonator from right below you, but I wouldn’t say it drones. I’ve also gotten a number of compliments on the change from stock.

Put the corsa cat back on my ‘19 about a month ago. Have an afe intake and stage 1 Cobb as well. I did a bunch of research and listened to dozens of clips. I’m glad I made the decision. Great sound when you get on it but no drone during normal city driving or on the highway. Would definitely do it again.

I researched for a long time to find the best sounding deep tone exhaust without the raspy ting these turbo v-6 can produce. I ended up with Corsa Extreme with resonator delete. Zero cabin drone, although my wife said it’s too loud with the windows down, she claims it’s louder than my Gen1 Roush with Stainless works and resonator delete and my MB G63 OEM Exhaust. FYI, im not knocking AWE products, but you research AWEs most aggressive exhaust you’ll find a couple forum members that have removed it due to excessive drone cabin noise. I hope the video upload works, first time uploading a video.

This is a “ warm” start up.
