Would you guys recomend doing a cat delete on my Kia Stinger GT

I was thinking of getting a cat delete in my car, just to get a more aggresive sound, but i dont if it will affect my cars performance, i need some advice on that

Turbo back from Jonny Tig. This is what you want.

Shipping to the states will only be $4500, no big deal

Does anyone in the States actually have Tig’s set up yet?

Absolutely not.

I just explained this in another thread and hope this helps.

If you just want more aggressive sound sound you're looking at this backwards then. DPs/MP/SDPs are used to remove the biggest airflow restrictions in order to provide the highest HP gains. They barely provide any difference in sound when compared to stock. You may notice slightly deeper tones and a minimal increase in volume, but performance is what these are used for.

If you want a more aggressive sound you will have to remove or alter the mufflers/resonators specifically. Unfortunately some people complain about Drone, so it really comes down to your personal preference. Multiple people with muffler deletes say they have very minimal drone, while others said it was bad enough to vibrate the center console.

IMO, muffler deletes with "side silencers" or helmholtz resonators will be the best of both worlds.

My local performance exhaust shop said they can build a custom axle-back exhaust like this one for $6-700, or just a muffler delete for $200 and add the silencers later if needed.

Might be worth checking out instead of $5-700 for MP/SDPs that will give you more HP but barely change the stock exhaust sound.

Did your check engine turn on, did you remove primary and secondary cat? I because i read that if you do both, your car goes in to limp mode at high rpm

I dont have exhaust. I was simply trying to help you understand that DPs & MPs/SDPs are used to gain HP, not really for increasing the sound.

However to answer this question, yes you will get a CEL and/or limp mode if you remove the primary or both cats. You will need a full tune, or the $1200 lap3 protuner to avoid these issues at this point.

So if you want HP without the headaches just do the MPs/SDPs. But if your priority is aggressive sound then focus on the mufflers/resonators not the DPs/MPs. Hope this helps clarify and happy tuning!
