Posted by Adrian Geske on 6/11/2022 to Before you Buy

There is nothing like the feeling of hearing a new exhaust system work its magic on your build for the first time after you have suffered with the factory exhaust for long enough. The factory exhaust system on the 2021-2022 Ford Bronco is great, but it does not produce those breathtaking sounds that make you excited to get behind the wheel of your Bronco for the next weekend adventure. Lucky for you, Borla Exhaust has developed a new line of axle-back 2021-2022 Bronco Exhaust Upgrades for the Bronco with three different sound level options. Having the option between these different sound levels gives you the ability to choose what sound volume and muffler design is right for you and your Bronco build. You can go with a mild growl all the way up to a super aggressive roar. See why a Borla Bronco Axle-Back Kit should be the next thing on your upgrade list with their premium sounds and optimized performance.

Features and Finishes of Borla Axle-Backs for 2021-2022 Bronco

When choosing which of the Borla Axle-Backs is right for you, first take into account that there are different versions of these axle-backs depending on your 2021-2022 Ford Bronco engine model. There is both a 2.3L EcoBoost and 2.7L EcoBoost version for all of the different sound levels and finishes. The finishes available to choose from include a bright chrome or black coating. These different finish options sit over the top of highly durable T-304 stainless steel that is single for the 2.3L EcoBoost options, dual for the 2.7L EcoBoost options, round, rolled edge, and angle-cut. An exhaust tip is included with the same construction and finish for the most cohesive looking axle-back. From what is exposed, fellow Bronco owners and other vehicle enthusiasts alike will notice your new awesome looking Borla axle-back. The exposed tips are seen on both sides of the Bronco with the split rear exit design with a single tip on each side. Not only are the finishes on these axle-backs a great way to add some style to your Bronco, but they are protective against potential rust damage overtime and actually guaranteed by Borla never to rust. When deciding which sound level is right for you, there are three different options to choose from: Touring, S-Type, and ATAK. Depending on the intended sound, each axle-back features its own muffler design manufactured specifically for that specific sound and to the existing features of the Bronco. These different mufflers all feature a high-quality austenitic stainless steel construction that is packed inside with ultra-durable, continuous-strand sound absorbing composite filament.

Touring Sound Level Borla Axle-Backs for 2021-2022 Bronco

The "Touring" sound level is the most mellow sound level of what Borla is offering in this new line of axle-backs, but that does not mean it is weak. The desired sound is a mild growl that has the feel and performance of a powerful aftermarket axle-back without the potentially obnoxious roar. If you are not the type to go deep out into the boondocks away from civilization to rev up your Bronco, this would be the perfect option for you. Driving on the public roads and freeways is not the place to be blowing everyone away with your booming exhaust sound. At this sound level, you get a deep and throaty sound with improved volume over the factory exhaust. The Touring sound level muffler design is intended to maximize exhaust performance without the ear ringing sounds. It is an oval shape that allows for more carpacity inside the muffler. This shape aids in creating a much more soothing sound for a more comfortable ride. The inside of the muffler features a high-flow design with a single core that boosts your Bronco's power and creates a more exciting experience when driving on-or-off road.

S-Type Sound Level Borla Axle-Backs for 2021-2022 Bronco

Halfway in between the mild growl of the Touring sound level and super aggressive roar of the ATAK sound level lies the S-Type sound level. It is a powerful sound that does not overwhelm the common man. Sure its fun to intimidate people and wake up the entire neighborhood, but this sound level is not for that. It is the ultimate balance of power and resonance that makes this version of Borla's axle-backs sing like an angel. These heavenly sounds of the S-Type axle-backs are produced by the straight-through muffler design. It features the perfect meshing of packing filament, straight-through core dimensions, core perforation pattern, and cylindrical shape. All of this combined produces a throaty, but truly powerful high-performance sound. The interior construction allows for the proper resonance of this sound, while maximizing exhaust performance. There is a slim, but equidistant space between the wide-diameter core and cylindrical muffler that carries the aggressive sound, while the straight-through design provides the most efficient exhaust flow.

ATAK Sound Level Borla Axle-Backs for 2021-2022 Bronco

The last and most intimidating Borla axle-back exhaust sound level of them all is the ATAK sound level. This one is for those who want to make a statement wherever they go by asserting their dominance with booming, super aggressive sounds. Those of us who like to take a day to get away from it all and find a corner of the world where we can rev up our Bronco to fullest are going to appreciate this sound. What makes this the most powerful sounding axle-back option in the new lineup is the Multicore with revolutionary acoustic tuning. Even more than the straight-through design of the S-Type sound level axle-back, the race-proven Multicore design out-performs them all with the most efficient exhaust flow in the lineup. The acoustic tuning is executed with the design of the internal construction of this muffler. Within the ATAK muffler, there are varying degrees of solid walls, perforation patterns, diameters, and other internal core characteristics. This intricate internal design allows the Borla engineers to fine-tune the ATAK sound level to the intended range. As the sound is being produced, the sound waves deflect off of the multiple core walls and create the powerful ATAK sound level.

Last Thoughts

The average Bronco owner looking for an exhaust upgrade, but still more often than not taking it to the grocery store and back will be satisfied with the Touring sound level. It is just enough of a boost from the factory sound that you will feel more confident behind the wheel of your Bronco without the paranoia of thinking you are drawing too much attention to yourself. The S-Type sound level is going to be ideal for the majority of Bronco owners that do the weekend warrior activities and hit the trails when they can. However, if you are looking for that edge over your off-road counterparts, then the ATAK sound level is going to assert your dominance. Why care about what other people think of how loud your exhaust sounds? You only live once.
