Borla S-Type on 2011 F-150
debating the Borla S-Type system for my F-150. Any review out here? It sounds great on youtube, lol.

Looking for thoughts and what others may have done instead of Borla.
PS. I miss a deep exhaust sound....

I've had the Roush, just way too much drone, and over the top loud for me. I tried numerous things to try and get the drone manageable, but never succeeded.
That brings me to the Borla SType. ZERO drone!! I wish I'd sprung the big bucks to start with. I've had the Borla for well over two years now, closer to three I think. When I first got it, I thought it was going to be too quiet. After a couple thousand high speed miles, expressway, for 200 miles at a time, it got burned in, and it sounds great!
If you've got a 5.0, you won't be sorry with this system. Fit and finish, really, is top of the line.
You can hear a little burble at speed, but it's a good sound. With my tunes, it really sounds good when coasting and the trans downshifts. Get on it, and there's no two ways about it, this thing can talk.
If I ever get another 5.0, this exhaust will be my first and only choice.
It's expensive, but it's one of those things that you get what you pay for.

BTW you should hear it going thru a tunnel or under a bridge with the top down
also I used to be a magnaflow fan, but after getting these ford borlas, I'll never buy magnaflow again. And they are pricey, I paid 700 just for the axle back kit which is basically mufflers with the tips welded on and that's it.

I put the Ford racing axle back sport mufflers on my 5.0 mustang and they sound awesome, during cruise you barely notice them, but get on it a little and everyone within a 1/4 mile can hear you. And the Ford racing sport mufllers are made by Borla and are basically rebranded S-types.

I know a few guys at my local Ford dealer, and one of them put that Ford performance system on a 2016 Mustang GT. Man!! That thing sounds fantastic!! And yes, the Ford system is just a rebranded Borla, with Ford on the tips instead of Borla. Plus a few more bucks for it. Ya have to pay for the Oval ya know! LOL
IIRC, I think I'm into it for around $1100, and I'd do it again.
With all you've got on that Mustang, I know it sounds great!
