Borla must be getting a few emails a day about this exhaust. I am surprised they haven't wrote a little note about it on the web page.
Hmm...if you go to the Borla page on Polyphonic exhausts there is a link for 2018 Kia Stinger "S" Type now where there wasn't when I contacted Borla. If you go to the Borla 2018 Stinger page the exhaust is listed as an "S" Type with no mention of Polyphonic technology. Am am now switching my stance on this issue(no, I am not a politician) and going with the One-Borla Exhaust Camp. I did just email Borla and ask for clarification. I wonder if Stinger Haus couldn't sell enough units so they took his exclusivity rights away? If that's the case I will order from Mike at Importshark, however, I am still waiting for notice that my other order has finally shipped first.
I have ordered the Polyphonic exhaust and hope it is there this weekend. I'll post pics and try to get a good sound sample for you. The CF tips aren't available yet and will probably me another month according to Rick Strauss at Stinger Haus.
As for the discrepancy with one or two different Borla exhausts, I will call Borla tomorrow again to verify. THEY are the ones who directed me to Stinger Haus for the Borla Polyphonic version.This is the email:
Hi Jim,
Yes, this system is done and for sale over a month ago, and it is polyphonic. It is only through Stinger Haus here in California, @ Stinger Haus 714-505-0609. Hope this helps, as we do not sell this item to the public.
...and from the email Jimb got from Borla , Borla is also talking out both sides of their mouths. Telling some there is only one, and others that the dealer version is not for sale publically ... If it wasnt such a huge pain to switch back to stock I would mail my Borla exhaust back to them... unbelievable.
Link for purchase??PENGUIN,
I did some poking around on the internet and located some sound deadening insulation for the rear of the car. It came to about $100... thats for two layers... two different kinds of insulation made specifically for this purpose. Also pulled up the back bench seat and under the floor board in the hatch... There is no insulation in either location. I think the hatch area being directly above the mufflers is acting like a big empty steel drum and may be what is causing the low frequency "burrrr" sound. I figure $100 isn't too much to figure out if I am right... Will post pictures and before and after impressions after I get it installed.
So where can we get the other Stinger Haus exclusives...like diffuser and hood vents?Wow...I sure stirred up a hornet's nest with this exhaust but I got to the bottom of it today. There IS only one Borla exhaust and it is now available through numerous sources. Stinger Haus was supposed to have exclusive wholesale rights but SOMETHING went wrong. Called my dealer today to see if he wanted to match Mike's price at Import Shark and got nothing but a run around with a "I'll have to get back with you" (sigh)
That's just fine with me, Mike shipped my M&S kit today and he'll have an exhaust order in when he gets to work in the morning. I am more disappointed with Borla than anyone else in this drama. They are a top-of-the-line company who shouldn't allow themselves to be the center of negative attention like this.
I apologize. I thought I had real accurate info to bring to the table for those Stinger enthusiasts like myself. On another note, mine will be done Friday from having the chrome delete with carbon fiber and some interior pieces done. Whoop, whoop!
