Choose carefully, some brands produce horrendous drone.
When he says mid pipe he might mean the downpipes. I don’t under stand why ssr and jun Bl call it a downpipe it’s more of a mid pipe. Right off the turbo is the downpipe....
Took my Stinger to an exhaust specialist and you're right ,to help fix the terrible drone in my Ark grip exhaust he recommends changing the mid pipes, he's going to custom make one with 2 extra resonators. He suspects I'm also losing power with my current set up, which he felt un prompted. It's something I suspected myself immediately after the install. Dynamatting the boot reduced some drone but strangely it seemed to transfer the vibration to the console and front panel. Soon as they open after xmas I'm going in. Cost= $1200 AUD. Choose carefully folks. Down pipes - not sure if I need more noise though- what are the benefits.? - Merry Xmas.If I were you, I would consider replacing the "mid pipes".
A buddy of mine (who's into the cars as much as I am) noted that my Stinger GT had a nice exhaust tone (all stock) and almost enough volume. Remember that KIA fitted US-market Stinger GT with a louder exhaust system. This led me to think that replacing the mid pipes is probably all it needs for a street car. It's much cheaper and proven to bump power and torque per se; it is also likely to produce more volume (acoustically) with a small risk of getting booming/droning noise.
Now it makes me think if there would be a market for used US-market GT exhaust systems for a mild improvement on exhaust tone
Put the OEM one back on and get some cardboard for the wheels to make the same sound minus the drone! Lol
Absolutely, please send me an email to Sales@K8StingerStore.com and we will get right back to you when we return back to the office again!
You lost me? Cardboard?
You know when you were a kid, cardboard pegged to wheel.
Boy I must have missed out.
Got my wife to decipher Aus|US to English got ya. Back in Blighty we put krepe paper in long tassles and it would flutter. Wife used playing cards....snap Nhc28.
I had this on my K900, and the dual setup, since there are (2) pipes, is around $700. Problem is, they tend to leak exhaust around the motor areas, and I had one of the motors fail after about 1.5 years of usage, and they only come with a 1-year warranty. Might as well go with an EVC exhaust setup which offers basically the same thing, but without just bypassing the stock mufflers.
