Don’t know about the new install, but with the old install they removed most of your dash to do all the electrical works, I’m assuming this would still be somewhat the same.
The same Dealer in Melbourne is now asking nearly 2.5k so I think possibly the newer version. The hours to fit would be drastically reduced as the new version is supposed to be "plug & play" by tapping into the rear quarter panel electrics.
Hey Pat. I'm still working away on a bespoke muffler replace option atm. Version 1; had horrible drone at 1700-2200rpm, so I am back to enjoying the oem silence. Ver 2; will aim to eliminate this with j-pipe additions. I will post my findings here if you like when I get a chance to get back to my guy at the muffler shop. If it works I'm sure he could replicate.
Where are you located. The J Pipe will definitely take care of the drone
Brisbane
Please keep me posted. Very interested.
Hey Pat, had no luck the J pipe as did not fully resolve the drone, it helped, but not quite enough for my liking. They actually sound great in every aspect except cruising speed/rpm's with light on-throttle, which is a decent amount of my driving style. So sad. But I have some fabricated rear mufflers if anybody wants to buy them off me... I'll sell em to you a forum member cheap ... who knows, you might like it?
Unlikely, as it's locally manufactured for Kia in one of Melbourne's outer suburbs.
Did you plug yours back in Flame or are you driving around unplugged.I have the original Bimodal, I was lucky as it was thrown in as part of my car deal.
It's a fun exhaust, you can drive around quite quietly, then put it into sport mode and hear it if you fang it a bit.
However, you can drive around unplugged and it is " loud " in any mode, it has a nice burble in lower gears but also has a noticeable drone, you get used to it, put up your music a bit more or plug it back in.
