Arcade Station, located at 4370 Marine Drive in West Vancouver, British Columbia, offers Regular and Diesel fuel in addition to E85, which is a blend of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent petroleum fuel. Western Canada's only gas station selling E85 Ethanol fuel, on its opening in Vancouver.

Just got word that my Borla S-Type should be here TOMORROW! Guess the guy at Borla was wrong about the 4/5 week back order.

Installed the borla atak yesterday the dealer charged me 160.00 it couldn't have taken them more then an hour I would guess. Its pretty loud on a cold start I fired it up this morning at 7am I am sure my neighbors heard it lol.

dude, doesn’t an aggressive tone give this thing more presence and attitude? congrats

It’s so much better now. I am really happy with the truck... plus I can get 5 kids with hockey bags in the thing lol. I picked up my truck in December I didn’t even know ford made an “st” explorer. I thought I could get a deal on a 2019 .... then the sale guy showed me this truck. Sold
Guys I almost bought a 4Runner hahahaha

I’m interested in the S type. Let us know what you think! I’m looking for something that won’t wake the neighborhood in the mornings

Ok I finally got the Atak installed the other day and have had a lot of mixed city and highway driving. This is the best way to describe it..

You know how everyone claims the exhaust comes out of their speakers? No imagine it just ever.so slightly louder, just a few decibles, and real. Like a real exhaust note, but from the actual truck. The fit and finish was amazing. Installation on a lift with removal of old exhaust was like 30min. That easy.

So my final verdict, absolutely awesome. Has no bass notes or annoying interior noises at highway speeds. Very mellow and barely noticable if you stay steady at 75. On a low end and use manual mode, at around 3k the exhaust has an amazing exotic styled note.

So all in all the Atak sounds a little louder than exactly stock but with a purpose. 5 stars on Yelp.

Are you talking about the same exhaust on the same vehicle

Please don't think i'm bashing you...just merely poking a little . No way in hell , the ATAK sound is a "little louder than stock" and i can assure you it's not an exotic styled note .

The ATAK does sound incredible !!!

I think he meant a little louder that the fake sounds coming from the speaker system. Was that how you intended it?

Already got my before video, going to do the after video when the exhaust arrives tomorrow. Already setup up to change it out the same day!!!

I also looked at the 4runner, Venture TRD Pro?! I think?!

Liked the look, terribly underpowered, no features, & shit gas mileage. But happy with my choice with the ST

Just got the Borla Exhaust installed. Getting dark out so will get a video going tomorrow.

The exhaust sounds like what's coming from the speaker system now. In ECO mode, there is minimal to no sound coming from the speaker system. But you can clearly hear the exhaust from inside the car. Best thing I could've done to the ST!

Yes exactly what I am saying. Also when I say exotic, its a small margin on the tac of around 2800-3000 when holding steady.

Windows up.

If you really want to hear/enjoy it, turn the goofy fake exhaust sounds off. Staying with the stock exhaust in mine for the time being, but glad not to have the annoying noise coming out of the speakers.

I kind of figured what you meant . I was just poking the bear a little bit . The exhaust is definitely what is needed on the ST to make it sound like it should . I think any exhaust setup would help !

I only commented on the exotic part because i just sold my twin turbo Ferrari 360 a couple of months ago .

I just got my axle back setup in so i will be getting it installed with an x-pipe in the near future .

Damn, that was quick. I was going to ask if you needed help with the installing so when I get mine it will be a breeze or just take it in to get it done lol. How was the lining up of the exhaust tips? If any correction needed to be done.

Delivered to the front door and a quick check to ensure all parts were mint. Borla S-Type (Black Exhaust tips) was installed within 3 hours of being delivered. Had the mechanics ready because I couldn't wait. They made sure it was level because I told them it was a pet peeve of mine. It was just easier and they did get work on the catback for my older Ford Focus ST. Felt like Christmas! Now I can't get in it without remote starting every time.

Planning on doing a video still. Sorry for the delay.

Someone share this link previously...

Borla's different SOUNDS between STANDARD vs TOURING vs S-TYPE vs ATAK (start at time: 7:43) Unfortunately, not on an Explorer St.
