Kia Stinger GTS: Borla Exhaust with Ark Performance Downpipes Cold Start, Revs, Acceleration!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2023
- My Stinger is complete! I installed the Borla Catback exhaust a couple weeks ago, and paired with the Ark Performance downpipes it sounds pretty mean! The car is so much louder (and faster) with the Borla on there. It really lets the 3.3 V6 breathe a whole lot better than stock. In this video I have the cold start, warm start, revs, and acceleration from on board and outside the car. What do you guys think of the sound?

if anyone is watching this and doesnt know to go borla or mbrp. i got mbrp bc i thought borla may be too loud. I was so wrong, Trust me and go borla. if my $1800 mbrp exhaust isnt in sport mode then it sounds stock, and when it IS in sport mode (valves opened) even with dual intakes and add w1 pro bov’s it sounds so lame. waste of money on mbrp, go borla
Definitely going with this set up
It sounds pretty awesome!
Heck yea! That's the setup I am working on. Have had the borla with stock mid pipes for a while which sounds sweet but am craving a little more. Sounds hella sweet! Can't wait to get mine put on. I have exhaust tips and did some sound deadening in trunk area which both help. Ark downpipe sure wakes the borla exhaust up! 😁
They sound great together! I got the Ark downpipes before I got the Borla so I'm not even sure what stock downpipes sound like with Borla, but Ark with stock exhaust made the car a bit louder, and then the Borla just makes it so much louder lol. It sounds pretty strong as a full setup!
New exhaust sounds sick! Hope to hear it at a meet.
Thanks! I bring it to every show but I don't rev or anything lol. Maybe leaving Mike Ward sometime!
It’s loud yh but the car actually moves
Just installed this setup for my 18 GT2. Barely any drone noticeable above the sound of music. But comfort and eco mode def sound like the regular sport mode if you had just the borla. Now the exhaust has a good deeper growl and the turbos sound insane. Also the burbles you get even in comfort are great at low-mid gears. Def a good combo, but new exhaust tips are my next move because it gets a bit raspy in comfort mode without the valves fully open
You have a 2018 and it has active exhaust? Mine is fully open all the time lol, I can't ever "open" or close my valves. Mine is a 2019. I thought they only made the active for like 2022 model years, but maybe I'm wrong about that! But yes, it makes the car sound amazing!
Thank you and those who asked about the drone. If there is a hint of drone, even after the pipes have "worn in" as you put it, then I think I'll skip this. I parted ways with my 300 SRT due to the drone after I installed new pipes - for the sake of a bit of theater I'd rather maintain a quiet daily driver.
To each their own though - sounds good when you open it up!
If you want a quiet daily driver I would not recommend this setup lol. You cannot open or close the pipes to make it quieter, and it is a loud car with this setup. Straight up. It makes it faster and allows the engine to breathe a lot better, but if you want quiet do not spend the money lol
Love it, it’s not making V6 sound nice but this setup is the best I’ve heard
I’m getting this same setup, where did you order it from?
I ordered them both online. They are pretty easy to find. With the Borla I went through a 3rd party because it was slightly cheaper than buying straight from Borla, but it was still a brand new exhaust. The Ark I'm not sure because my girlfriend actually bought it for me as a gift!
Are you running aftermarket intakes?
Yes, I have AEM cold air intakes
How are your low rpms? Do they sound obnoxious when doing daily city driving? I have the MBRP pro with ark downpipes. Low rpms sound like a Honda civic. Need a new exhaust set up, not liking the MBRP.
The Borla is way louder than MBRP. I had a friend with MBRP, my car is far louder. When I first put the exhaust on, the drone at low RPMs (1500-3000ish) was obnoxious. I actually considered taking it off. But I kept it on and as I kept using the car, I think the exhaust got "worn in" and now the drone isn't that bad anymore. Its still loud under load though lol
Should get the add on resonators for it. Makes it a little quieter but takes away that obnoxious sound at around 3k rpms
Any drone. I would love this for a daily set up.
At first, before the pipes are really broken in there is drone. After you drive it for a bit, not really. At least that has been my experience! The Borla really makes the car loud - make no mistake about that. It's almost obnoxious on cold start.
@@FrimAutosappreciate the feedback, very informative. One last thing. Did you tune the car? Like just to run everything without overboost
I have a JB4 module. I run it in map 2 pretty much exclusively. So whatever the tune settings are for the JB4, that's whatever i'm on lol. If you don't have a JB4, I highly recommend getting one. It COMPLETELY transforms the car!@@brn0ut4ever86
Is this the ark mid pipes or actual down pipes?
Ark secondaries with Borla catback exhaust. I still have the stock primaries.
What downpipe tune?
Its paired with Ark Performance downpipes
Bro, pleeeeease e-85 this sucker
I've thought about it. But its expensive. Have to get aftermarket fuel system parts and install, and find e-85 every time i drive lol. If it was a weekend car I'd definitely strongly consider it, but being my only car it will cause some inconvenience having to find e-85 to fill up every time. We'll see though!
All it needs is some gurgles
I actually do get some burbles in the lower gears when I let off the gas!
