• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Borla Exhaust coming

I was considering the borla, but the wife wasn't on board (her car). So I removed the muffler to paint the tip black. While I had the muffler off I started the car and HATED the sound. If that is anywhere close to what it sounds like with the borla installed, then it isn't for me.
What you heard was a muffler delete which is just ghetto.

The Borla is subtle.
 
Thoughts on Borla vs a custom? I don't like the chrome on the Borla. I wouldn't know what to say when shopping for a custom either...

You can paint the chrome. I sanded the stock tips and painted with high temp paint. So far so good.

Custom will end up the same if not cheaper when it comes to price but that will be a mod that you can't come back from...meaning your stuck with that new custom exhaust.

At least the Borla I can swap it back to the OEM real quick (let's say if I had a crazy warranty issue I wouldn't want them to see my Borla)...

I know I know about the Warranty Act..I also know Kia is shady as hell with warranty work.

In case anyone is interested, here's a sound/video clip of my Telly.


It was slow getting onto the freeway, so revving doesn't really start until maybe 50 seconds in. Then I closed the two passenger windows shortly after that. Hope this gives you an idea of how it sounds.
