Regular viewers of this YouTube channel know I'm a fan of the Borla S-type muffler. I ran the S-type axle-backs on my twenty eleven mustang, and the s-type cat back is the current system of choice for my 2015. Many of you have asked though what the axle-back's going to sound like on the 15 if you keep the factory resonator. So today we're going to install the s-type axle-back on my 2015 and give you some sound clips. I've always liked the s-type muffler because it gives you a nice aggressive sound on wide open throttle but is very tame for cruising and offer no drone whatsoever. Just like the cat back system, the Borla S-type axle-back is available in your choice or either a polished or a black four inch tip.
For this installation today, a lift or a jack and jack stands, half inch ratchet, 15mm socket, tape measure, marker, sawzall and safety glasses.
Like many other axle-backs we've already shown you, this one's going to cut in right back here behind the axle. Because it is an axle-back system, this is going to fit your fast back or convertible. Just follow the curve until it ends, I'm going to measure over two inches from the end of the curve, mark, and cut.
Once it's cut now, slide it off the hanger. Once you have the pipe cut off, the installation's very easy. You slide it up into the rear hanger first, line the pipe up, and slide it over. Tighten the clamp and repeat the process on the other side.
Now let's see how our S-type axle-back sounds. Very similar sound to the cat back, I thought it would, a little less volume but very similar tone. Right out of the box, the Borla S-type has the sound I kind of expected the axle-back to have. It's got a similar tone of the cat back, just less overall volume. It sounds really good in it's own right, and probably if you put it one of our H-pipes sound even better.
Just like all Borla's now, now we're cruising at 2000 RPM, 65 miles an hour on the highway, zero drone, don't even know it's back there. Give it a little gas, it wakes up, but cruising speeds you can drive all day and not even know its there.
Overall, the S-type, again I'm still a fan. It's a good sounding muffler if you want something that has a nice rich tone, really sounds good when you get on it, but no drone on the highway, nice and quiet, it's an excellent choice. Like all the axle-back systems you have to cut to put it on, but overall the installation's pretty simple, takes about an hour to do so you can be back on the road in no time.

Sounds Incredible!
I just installed your Borla Stinger S-Type Exhaust on my Mustang GT on Saturday. Ordered from CJ Pony Parts on. Wednesday morning and it arrived the next day by noon. Exhaust arrived extremely well Packed and protected. The quality and construction is incredible and the fit is perfect. No installation issues at all. It took me 2.5 hours because I took my time. Installation looks professional. The sound is AMAZING. Idling in traffic or light throttle its quiet but still louder than stock and you can still tell its no not stock. The more you press the throttle the fuller and louder it gets.
I am extremely happy with my purchase. Awesome!

best soundiexhaust for the Mustang, but fit is off
I finally ordered this and swapped out the Roush. Smooth, deep, and loud when opened up. I agree with the general opinion that this is the absolute best sounding system for the new Mustang. I was contemplating the Touring axle-back but I'm glad I went with the S-Type. If you want a mild system, just do a resonator delete and keep the factory mufflers. If I could do it all over again, I would've installed the S-Type cat-back from the very beginning and called it a day.
The fit of the mufflers is OFF. The hanger on the driver side had to be heated and bent downward, as it was too high and nearly touching the valence. The passenger side muffler hangs low and the muffler is tilted. Heating the hanger and pushing it up will not likely solve the problem correctly. I definitely couldn't have installed this system properly without my local exhaust shop.
Aesthetically, it looks uneven and asymmetrical from the rear of the vehicle since the right muffler is lower/tilted and doesn't match the left side. I did some research and this seems to be a problem at the factory. I hope they can resolve the issue. Borla also manufactures the Roush axle-back and the passenger side muffler placement was off on that system as well.
I can only recommend this product based on the sound alone. The look from the back is uneven and it annoys me. I will be seeking a remedy through Borla which is a hassle. When you spend this kind of money on a product, it should fit perfectly out of the box.

Now we talking Great Sound!
I added this to my 2017 Mustang about 6 months ago. I have loved it no drone somewhat aggressive on takeoff and gets compliments all the time. Wanting a little more, just the other day I had the MRT H pipe added and all I can say is do it! This system with the MRT H pipe is just perfect. It is deep aggressive when you want, quiet a cruise with zero drone. Although you could probably wake up your neighbors with it you don't have to if you just drive conservatively at the appropriate times. I also have noticed a small power increase with the resonator gone. Hesitated to put the H pipe on because I thought maybe it would be too loud. It is not it is awesome! You could not ask for more.

It's alive and roars
Finally had these installed by R-Tech Motorsports in Chesapeake Va. They decided to cut by their measurements instead of direction. They cut pipe just past turn of muffler instead of the 2" measurement instructed. When completed, the muffler tips fit perfectly with factory cutouts. They even showed me before they cut old mufflers off, just how much the factory tips where off center. They large tips fit nicely, and the roar is alive like a Mustang should sound. One satisfied customer here. Thanks.

Nice Exhaust except for drone!!
Choose this exhaust based on reviews and the "no Drone" claims. ( actually wanted to go ford racing but CJ o/s). However definitely a low drone when cruising at 70 which I am not sure I can live with. Probably change for Touring or Ford Racing Touring . Just wish the GT500 exhausts for the 13 GT were available for the 15. Those were perfect on my old 13!

Excellent sound for an Axle-Back exhaust!
I bought the Axle-Back Exhaust in order to achieve the "muscle car" sound that does not come out of the stock exhaust (on my 2016 Mustang GT). It came with the clamps, instructions, and the shipping packaging had both exhausts snugged properly. Exhausts were labeled "L" and "R" for the people that cannot distinguish the proper orientation.The Borla exhausts definitely give a deeper and "throatier" sound, specially in low gear/high rpm, but also has a good "hum" on 6th gear when cruising in the freeway. These are meant to give that extra and true muscle car sound without causing any extra attention (specially from the cops). The one thing I thought looked sloppy were the tube welds on the exhaust, but it did not affect the sound nor any form of exhaust leak was found. Other than that, this product was great and I would recommend it to other mustang owners that want that extra sound boost.

Best exhaust, period.
Since I'm unable to edit my previous review, I'm writing another one. Borla's customer service is excellent and guided me on how to correct my fitment issues. It turned out the x-pipe I had previously installed could be massaged to make the mufflers fit correctly. With that being said, it now looks as great as it sounds. I'm very happy with this exhaust and it's definitely worth the extra money.

What is the difference in sound between the Borla S Type axle back and the Ford Racing Sport axle back - with resonator left on? I had heard that the Ford Racing Sport was not as loud, but similar in tone. Is that correct.
They are extremely similar, but I would agree that the S-Type was slightly louder.
Date published: 2017-05-25
Which is louder with the resonator left on - This Borla S Type or the Roush?
Roush
Date published: 2016-11-29
Will these fit a 2015 GT convertible?
Yes.

Do you have any videos of this axle back teamed up with your MRT Resonator Delete H Pipe?
No we do not.
Date published: 2016-06-10
From this video, it sounds as if this Borla S-type, with resonator left on, is not as loud and raspy as the Ford Racing by Borla Touring axle-back with MRT H-pipe. Anyone have thoughts on this?
Removing the resonator will make even the quietest exhaust system noticeably louder then a more aggressive axle-back.
