Need advice (in Korea/options limited)

[JamesHG]

Hello all!

I'm a proud owner of a recently purchased 2018 Stinger GT 3.3TT here in South Korea. As a service-member stationed in the region for a few years, it was easier for me to just buy a Korea-spec Stinger here as opposed to try to ship something over.

I love everything about the car...except the exhaust note...which is practically nonexistent. It has no character whatsoever.

There is a great exhaust shop locally, but the only work they do is complete custom fabrication. I was hoping to get a Stillen or Borla exhaust designed for the Stinger GT, but I'm going to need to go complete custom on the job.
My question to the group is: what setup is preferable when it comes to actually hearing the engine, with a quality exhaust note, without excessive drone? My car is complete factory spec, and since it's warrantied, I don't plan on switching out the first set of cats where the O2 sensors are located. It will create errors that I won't be able to clear without a custom ECU tune, which I don't want to do at this time.

So far, from the people I've talked to, the consensus seems to be removing the secondary cats, moving to a larger diameter pipe, and utilizing high flow mufflers. While a lot of car owners I know in the area have opinions, I would like to hear from actual Stinger owners and what setup seemed to work best for them.

Thank you!

James

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but Jun BL and Ark are Korean companies.
They make some nice exhausts should be available to you there. I run the Ark GRiP and like it a lot.

JunBL and Kunstwerk (atleast I think so) should both be Korean companies and they have by far the best EVC exhausts.

You can buy a complete system from a reputable dealer and have it shipped to your APO address. Then, just head to the auto skills shop like the one they have at Osan Airbase, with lifts, and install it all yourself.

Hi

Where are you located?
It seems that we are a growing number of foreigners having Stingers in Korea.
