Product Description

The Borla 11969 S-Type Axle-Back Exhaust System is a precision-engineered performance upgrade designed specifically for 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 models equipped with the 2.5L four-cylinder engine, including turbo variants, with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Constructed from premium T-304 stainless steel with mandrel-bent tubing and Borla's patented straight-through multi-core muffler design, the 11969 improves overall performance characteristics and durability compared with the OEM system. Polished 4" round tips provide a refined rear appearance, and the system installs easily using factory hangers and included hardware with no cutting or welding required. Backed by Borla's Million-Mile Warranty, this S-Type axle-back exhaust delivers lasting quality, enhanced sound character, and an engaging driving experience for Mazda CX-5 owners seeking a tasteful performance upgrade.
