It is listed for AWD, automatic, except Sport Adaptive Air Suspension. The tubing is 2.5\" per Borla, ending in a split rear exit with one tip on each side. No Borla tips come in the box: the tailpipes are made to reuse your factory tips. Borla places S-Type between its mild Touring and loud ATAK sound levels; the build is T-304 stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassic S-Type sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorla puts S-Type in the middle of its three sound levels: bolder than Touring and a little tamer than ATAK.
