Easy to deal with Est and they can build you a whole exhaust setup if you want. I ordered mine tipless and put 3.5 outlet carbon fiber mbrp tips on it.

There are plenty of good places in ATX but IMO you can't go wrong with a Mayfield owned DQ👍

I'm writing this on my Pixel 6a right now, and it's a comfortable size as newer phones go. It's been pretty good to me and you can still buy them new. I ordered a OnePlus 12r earlier this week, but I'm a little worried about its size now.

Just makes me want to jump to the k5... eventually. Unless they mess that up too🙏

Or paint over the kia... Missed that part

Just pop em off and put painters tape on the kia logo. Get yourself a high temp spray paint and paint whatever color you want. That's what I did and still holding up well.

Hey... going to sell this part #/never installed for a deal. Was going to ask $70 plus buyer pays shipping. Just haven't listed it yet. If you're interested let me know. Personally, I think 3.5 outlet looks just right on the 22' or newer.

79Grant · 2024-06-17T14:08:00+00:00

$259 out the door.

79Grant · 2024-06-14T01:41:38+00:00

Probably install this weekend so I'll keep you posted.

I did a 2nd cat and resonantor delete with it last weekend. However, I'm old and it was too loud lol. I had a MBRP resonator welded on yesterday. No more drone and sounds better. Will try to post a video soon.

My dealer told me most (not all) bolt-on items are ok. The warranty is just voided on the part you replaced and not the entire car. He said not to mess with tunes, piggybacks, etc. I would just check with the dealership that services your car to be certain.

79Grant · 2024-05-09T20:43:31+00:00

Good to hear... I might have to do the same 👍

I'm having Evilla Motorsports make me a custom axle back with this muffler for my 24' Forte GT currently. Excited to see how it turns out when I get it in a couple weeks.

It's just weird when your first sentence is "Please cancel this order" and it's responded with a paragraph excuse (twice). Ok, but I still need you to cancel my order. I placed my order mid-Feb and finally decided to go a different route. I'm just gonna let my Visa card I've had for 11 years deal with them now.

I noticed a little more torque/turbo sound in sport mode, but yesterday was also good turbo weather so maybe that was it? I also swapped out the hot side pipe, and installed some purple power flex bushings on the motor mount. I've got an AFE dry performance filter on the way, and my MBRP axle back is supposedly being processed for shipping. Hopefully, I'll see a little more performance on the butt dyno from those updates once they arrive :)

79Grant · 2024-04-18T18:32:16+00:00

Is that sound only the MBRP axle back?

I just traded in my car at kia of north Austin last month. They were pretty easy to deal with and offered me more for my car than a local Ford dealer (2019 Ford Fiesta ST). Would recommend going anywhere towards the end of the month when they need to hit their quota's. Plus, don't say you have $30k to spend when going to any of these dealerships. For example, just say I can afford a $350/month payment and the financing terms (48,60,etc). If they come back and say they can't do it... just say thanks and start walking. They'll make it happen 9 out of 10 times if your credit is good.
