Features
- Starts behind the converters: A Cat-Back system takes over from the catalytic converters rearward and swaps the pipes, mufflers and tips that follow them. The factory converters are not touched and stay on the vehicle.
- Built for its vehicle: Borla develops each system on the vehicle it is sold for, working out the muffler, pipe routing and tip placement around that engine and body.
- Muffler included: The system ships with its Borla muffler and the pipes that follow the converters, so the whole exhaust behind them is replaced in one job.
- Austenitic stainless steel: Borla builds its systems from austenitic stainless steel, which it rates well ahead of 409 and aluminized steel against road salt, moisture and repeated heat cycles.
- Mandrel-bent tubing: Borla mandrel-bends its tubing, so the pipe keeps its full diameter through each bend instead of crimping down.
- Million-Mile Warranty: Borla covers the system against flaws in materials or workmanship for one million miles, for the original buyer on the vehicle it was first fitted to. Tip finishes, black coatings and carbon fiber carry a one-year term.

About Borla
Borla got its start in 1978 making stainless exhaust systems for concours Rolls-Royce and Ferrari restorations, and says the term Cat-Back began with it that same year. The company still builds in stainless steel, now at a 100-acre plant in Tennessee, and Borla says automakers including GM, Ford and Toyota use it for some of their factory-installed accessory exhaust.
Borla engineers each vehicle system from a clean sheet, shaping the muffler bodies, cores and pipe routing around that one platform, and offers many of its systems in three sound levels: Touring, S-Type and ATAK. For custom work it makes ProXS universal mufflers, CrateMufflers tuned to crate engines, exhaust tips, tubing, clamps and hangers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my vehicle?
It does when your vehicle matches the fitment row: 2012-2013 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-door, 3.6L V6, 4WD, and Borla lists it for the automatic transmission. If anything differs, send us your VIN and we will check before you order.
Is the photo this exact system?
No. We do not have a photo of 140462 itself yet, so the image is a representative Borla cat-back. The parts in the box are made for the vehicle in the fitment row; contact us if you want to see the part before ordering.
Which Borla sound level is this system?
This part number is listed as a cat-back system without an S-Type, Touring or ATAK series name, so we do not rank its volume. If sound level matters, contact us with the part number before you order and we will ask Borla.
Do the catalytic converters stay in place?
Yes. A Cat-Back system begins behind the catalytic converters, so the factory converters stay on the vehicle and only the exhaust after them is replaced.
Do I need a shop to install it?
Borla's install sheets for its cat-back systems recommend an exhaust shop or professional installer and warn against air impact tools. Some vehicles need the factory pipe cut; the Installation section on each product says whether yours does, where Borla's sheet is on file.
Can I send it back if I don't like the sound?
Borla does not warrant sound level, because how an exhaust sounds is a personal call, and it asks owners not to return a part for that reason. Settle on the sound level before you order. Borla notes that venturis, available from a retailer, can quiet a system later. For any other return question, contact us before you ship anything back.
Installation
- 3/8" Drive Ratchet
- 3/8" Drive Extension 3"
- 15mm Deep Well Socket
- Pry Bar
Here's the short version. Follow Borla's install sheet (below) for your vehicle's exact steps.
- Loosen the clamp located just before the muffler assembly.
- Lubricate all the hangers and rubber isolators.
- With a muffler stand or a helper holding the muffler assembly up in place, remove the hangers from the rubber isolators and remove the muffler assembly from the vehicle.
- Unbolt the clamp located just after the y-pipe.
- With a muffler stand or a helper holding the front pipe assembly in position, remove the hanger from the rubber isolator and remove the front pipe from the vehicle.
- Place a clamp over the expanded end of the over axle pipe assembly and set it into position making sure to install the hanger into the rubber isolator. Do not tighten the clamp yet.

Warranty
Borla's Million-Mile Warranty covers this part for one million miles against flaws in its materials or workmanship.- Coverage belongs to the original purchaser of record, on the vehicle the part was first installed on.
- Black coatings, tip finishes, carbon fiber and moving parts such as valves and actuators carry a one-year term. Blemishes or marring caused by weather, road hazards, lack of maintenance or extreme heat or cold are not covered.
- Borla inspects the returned part, and when it finds a manufacturing or material defect it repairs or replaces the part, at Borla's option.
- Sound level is not warranted, since sound is a matter of taste. Borla notes that venturis can be fitted to quiet a system.
- Universal mufflers must be joined at their inlet and outlet necks. Welding to the case shell or end caps voids the warranty.
- Not covered: the cost of removal or reinstallation; damage from accident, abuse, misuse or misapplication; parts that are modified or used for something other than their intended purpose; racing products, and street parts used for racing.
- To claim, contact us first with your order number and a short description of the problem. Borla asks for proof of the retail purchase date, and your Prestige Truck receipt is that proof. A part sent back to Borla travels with freight prepaid by the sender, packed well, since Borla cannot accept parts damaged in transit.
- Some states do not allow these limits, so your rights may vary by state.
