Today, I had the Borla Resonator removed & while I was apprehensive, I could not have made a better choice! It's slightly Louder, but much Deeper & best of all, it has a nice little Rumble while idling Note: That is a Stainless Pipe, just not T-304 (shiny) like Borla's

I bet it does sound good. I think that pretty much makes it an ATAK system now?

Not exactly, while your correct that the ATAK does not have a Resonator, the S-Type is a straight thru Muffler design, while the ATAK is a Tri-Chamber design... Also, just my opinion but the ATAK has that crackle sound in higher RPM's which I don't care for & the S-Type is very smooth. I initially tried buying a "delete pipe" from Borla or even the front pipe from the ATAK, but Borla will not sell it separately. However, the agent I spoke with stated he has the S-Type on both of his vehicles w/a delete pipe & that I wouldn't regret it. Boy was he right...lol

I tried to get a pipe from them too a while back for my 5.0. Got the same from Borla. I just emailed them, likely would have been better to talk with them instead. Since I no longer have that truck, I've seen a couple places where I could get the pipe.
Interesting on the difference between the mufflers, did they give you any idea when they did that? I almost think about 5 years ago, both mufflers had the same PN. Could be wrong.

Purchased RECON Headlights & Taillights Long story, but amazing customer service Post 1 of 2
Note: I hooked up the Halo's, but I did not hook up the stupid LED strip (between the Halo's & oem Turnsignal).

I was introduced to the Pedal Commander & ended up buying one for my F150 & a 2nd for the wife's Fusion
Purchased 2 of "2011-2019 Ford Vehicle Pedal Commander PC18 Bluetooth Throttle Response Controller" from Stage3motorsports last week during their B-Day sale for $255 each & actually got to see my wife smile (kind of an evil smile...lol) after I installed her's. She's been complaining about the "drive by wire lag" in her Fusion for awhile & since its under Warranty, I can't Tune it. So this was the perfect answer, as its NOT a Tuner & doesn't leave a footprint, for the Dealer to whine about It simply lets u adjust your vehicles Throttle Response, as mild or aggressive, as u want & it ACTUALLY WORKS. Also, it was an amazing addition to my F150, even though she's Tuned, that doesn't eliminate the "drive by wire lag" but this DOES & the 5.0 is stupid responsive now
