Borla Exhaust for Kia Stinger

[Fl stingergt]

And when you put down pipes on it sounds even better. Down pipes where’s and awesome addition to car.

Turbo spool up so much faster with the whole exhaust on. And I left primary cats on car.

How does the borla sound with downpipes? I’m trying to deside between the borla and ark. My car already has the jun downpipes installed and I’m worried the borla might be a little loud around town. I want something that’s not loud at light rpms around town but sounds good with some throttle.

Borla is louder than Ark so it depends what you want.

 

[Fl stingergt]

Yes I agree. But I love that borla note.

you get your tune issues worked out? I'm looking forward to your next test and tune day at the drag strip.

The last day of the drag strip was today and I just got my car back. They didn't find any issues with it, however I did put back on my stock Cats, intercooler, and BOV. I believe the BOV were the problem but I honestly had no time to test this theory!

Are you the guy they were talking about in one of the JB4s 76 threads? Your name Anthony?

Correct

Haven't seen that thread though.

There's so many of them around I wouldn't even know where to look.

We were all discussing the max map to run with straight 93 and someone said your car had serious issues after running map 3 and 93.

A couple of people cleared things up and determined the issue was more likely BOV related.

Here it is, if interested.

Correct, it seems like the BOV was the issue. Although, I did drive the car with the BOV installed and it was fine. It was only when I hit the dyno which ran the car hard is when it started causing issues with burning oil. Before the dyno it was fine. Although another person said the HKS BOV need to be calibrated based off the power/boost the car is making - still waiting to hear and get more info before I reinstall the BOV again. Sucks cause I paid over $600 for them.

I also know a few others with the BOV who don't have this issue, although I have a lot more bolt on mods then they do, especially the HFC combo.

A couple months back someone had a turbo go stupid and determined the issue to be BOV related. He returned his car to stock and had the engine replaced under warranty.

As I dig deeper into mods I'll definitely be avoiding messing with BOVs.

Very good to know lol I may have to get rid of mine if that's the case.. If they are going to cause me issues, makes no sense and very unfortunate as they are suppose to help the cars that start to get higher in boost. Maybe I will hold onto them though until we see upgraded turbos and try it again..

The Ark does achieve this for me.

Ark with downpipes/midpipes sounds amazing, the only problem is the drone below 2000rpm. Going to sound deaded the trunk with dynamat, some closed cell foam, and mass loaded vinyl see if that helps.
