Hey, guys, Adam here with americantrucks.com.
Today, we're taking a quick look at, listening to, and installing the Borla Stinger S-Type
dual cat-back exhaust system with the same-side exit design, available for the '15 to '18
5-liter F-150.
Now, if you're the owner of that 5.0 F-150, you might be looking to ditch the factory
exhaust to really beef up the volume, without going too overwhelming, with a kit that's
got the highest-quality stainless steel material available on the market.
Now, Borla offers a few different versions of their cat-back: the Touring, the Stinger
S-Type, and of course, the infamous ATAK.
Now, the ATAK is going to be the all-out loud, five out of five on the loudness meter, the
one that's blowing people's eardrums out at wide-open throttle.
The Touring option is a little bit more mellow.
It's got a nice deep rumble to it, and it really doesn't go too loud on the volume meter.
Now, the Stinger S-Type, right there in the middle, it is pretty loud.
It's very aggressive.
It's got a deep throaty tone that, you know, it doesn't go too raspy like the ATAK would.
Now as you heard from our sound clips, I'm going to give this one four out of five on
our loudness meter, simply because, again, it does beef that volume up, but it doesn't
go too overwhelming.
Now, the Borla Stinger S-Type muffler is a straight-through design, so that contributes
to a lot of that volume.
It also retains a factory position resonator, but it is going to be less restrictive than
the stock one.
So, you are getting more volume, better airflow, and of course, that 304 stainless steel tubing
is going to help streamline the airflow, thanks to the mandrel bends with a 2.75 inlet and
a 2.25 outlet.
If you were interested in picking up the Stinger S-Type for your own F-150, you can do so for
just under 1,000 bucks.
It's a pretty typical price tag for something around this range here.
It's not at the bottom of the barrel, but of course, it's not something as loud or extreme
as the Corsa Xtreme or the Borla ATAK.
It's a good option for the guys out there who want to pay for something that is that
high-quality 304 and wants that really aggressive street muscle volume.
Now, as far as the install, one out of three wrenches on our difficulty meter here.
Expect to get it done in about two hours or so from start to finish.
Having a helping hand on deck does go a long way, dropping that factory exhaust in one
piece, but you can tackle it yourself in the driveway at home.
I'd say, have a jack and a few jack stands on deck to help with the support, and have
an assortment of very basic hand tools, like a ratchet and socket set.
I'm using a cordless impact because it makes my life easier.
If you've got air tools, it's even better.
So, without further ado, I want to show you guys how it gets done.
So, the first step of our uninstall is to take our 15-millimeter deep socket.
I'm using a cordless impact, but a simple ratchet will, of course, do the trick.
If you're working with air tools, even better.
We're going to go up here and loosen up this clamp right behind our factory muffler.
Once that's loosened, we'll rotate our exhaust pipe so that it'll slide out of that retainer
pin.
Once we take care of that, we'll take our hanger removal tool, pop all of our hangers
out of place, and drop the whole thing in one piece.
Now, because that pipe gets locked into a retainer pin, in order to rotate this to unlock
it, what we're going to do is crack our bolts loose at the back end of our catalytic converter.
So, I've got my 13-millimeter swivel socket.
I'm not going to fully remove the bolts, just crack them loose enough so that we can rotate
the whole assembly.
We got our hanger removal tool.
I'm going to pop all three of these hangers out of place.
Now, if you do not have this tool, it's a good thing to pick up at your local auto parts
store.
You can rent them, you can just buy them.
They're not super-expensive.
It just makes your life a whole lot easier.
I'm out over here, I think.
Can you pull?
There you go.
The last step of the uninstall here, I'm going to grab my 13-millimeter socket.
It's a swivel socket to make my life a little easier.
We're going to remove the two bolts on the flange here, right behind our catalytic converter.
Once those bolts are free, we'll be able to slide this out in one piece and get to work
on our install.
So, we got our factory exhaust off of our '15 F-150 with the 5-liter on the ground next
to the Borla Stinger S-Type cat-back.
Now, there's clearly similarities and differences between the two, but the biggest difference
is going to be the fact that the Borla Stinger has a dual exhaust outlet going into the rear
end.
Now, that rear exit is going to stay the same as far as the styling.
It's going to have that same side exit, dumping behind the rear passenger side tire.
The difference there is it's going to have that dual, or twin tip.
Now, it's not a phony dual exhaust.
It's got the two exhaust pipes coming out of the muffler there, as you can see.
Starting at the front of the truck, you are going to retain a resonator, although the
Borla Stinger S-Type is going to be a less restrictive resonator, allowing for a little
bit more power, volume, and tone.
Coming out of that, you're going to get the exhaust with a 2.75-inch inlet leading up
to the Borla Stinger S-Type muffler.
That muffler is going to be significantly smaller than your factory one, but it will
produce a big aggressive sound, bigger than the factory exhaust at least, giving you a
nice aggressive tone, a lot more volume, without going too overwhelming like the Borla ATAK
would be.
Now, that Borla Stinger S-Type, in my personal opinion, is one of the best sounds for the
5-liter V8 motor in your F-150, simply because it is super-aggressive.
It's got that sporty feel.
At idle, there's a deep rumble, as you heard from our sound clips, but once you hit that
wide-open throttle, it's got some really nice sound to it.
Coming out of that, you'll get the dual outlet pipes with the 2.25-inch diameter, leading
up to the twin 4-inch slash-cut polished stainless steel tips.
It's a really stylish exit appearance with the Borla tips, with the Borla name embedded
in the materials.
Whole thing, top to bottom, is a 300-series stainless steel, one of the highest-quality
materials on the market, making this a good option for the guys out there on the East
Coast in wintry weather areas, seeing a lot of road salt.
This is going to hold up a lot better than 409 stainless or aluminized steel like some
of the other options on the market.
Now, I want to show you guys how this gets installed, so let's get to it.
Kicking off the install here, we're going to start with our Borla Stinger S-Type resonator.
That's going to install right behind our factory catalytic converter.
Now, the flange here has nuts welded to the inside here, so we're going to reuse our factory
bolts to tighten them down.
We're going to take this individual pipe with the hanger welded to it.
I'm going to slide that into the isolator on our frame.
Make sure we're taking one of our larger clamps because we're still working with the 2.75-inch
tubing, slide that over the end, and connect everything together.
All right.
Now we can take our 15-millimeter deep socket and just tighten this down.
Now, we're not going to over-tighten it just yet.
We're just going to get this nice and snug so we can leave room for adjustment if needed
later.
Next up is our S-Type muffler with the over-axle pipe.
We're going to slide this over the axle, insert the hanger into the isolator, and then connect
the muffler inlet pipe to the rest of the exhaust.
All right.
And again, with the 15-millimeter deep socket, we're going to tighten this clamp down, not
too far, still leaving room for adjustment, but just enough that it's snug.
Next up here, and honestly, the last step of the process, is our dual-exit style tip
going out behind our rear passenger-side tire.
We're going to slide that hanger in first, like we have been, but making sure we have
our clamps on each end of the dual exhaust.
So, hanger in first, clamps go in second, we'll tighten that down, and then we'll make
adjustments if necessary.
So, we found that our tailpipes are giving us a little bit of trouble lining up with
the hanger isolator on our frame and inserting into the outlet pipes behind our mufflers.
So, what we're going to do is we're actually going to remove this isolator from the frame,
just two 10-millimeter bolts, once we remove that we'll hang it onto our new tailpipes,
then we'll reinstall up into the frame already installed on the hanger.
Put a little WD-40 into the isolator.
That'll slide right on a little easier.
Last two steps here, we're going to tighten down these two clamps on the dual exhaust,
then we're going to go back from head to toe on the system and tighten down all bolts and
clamps so we have no exhaust leaks.
That's going to wrap up my review and install of the Borla Stinger S-Type dual cat-back
exhaust with the same-side exit for the '15 to '18 5-liter F-150.
Again, if you want that same-side exit design with a dual polished stainless steel 4-inch
tip, this is a really good option to keep you under the $1,000 mark.
