Turning up the Volume on a Kia Forte GT | XForce Catback Exhaust Install

[@diegoandres8524]

Installed this in my car about two weeks ago. It is a blast, all around a great exhaust, and brings in so much more sound to the car. Having the ability to close and open the valves comes in handy in early mornings and late nights.

[@PandaMotorworks]

Couldn't agree more! Its a great quality exhaust system, glad you are enjoying it!

[@wingopimp353]

Does the exhaust move around a lot like in the video?

[@diegoandres8524]

@@wingopimp353 It does, but honestly doesn’t bother me. At first it was a little sketchy how much it moved around but it’s on there good. Does not hit anything or scrape while driving. Been driving the car for about 2 weeks with it and no issue.

A catback should now void any warranties. The law states any warranty denial should have clear proof/evidence of the non OEM part causing said failure. In our years of experience we have not seen any warranty denied for a catback but can not guarantee this as we are not the manufacture. I would recommend reaching out to your local dealer and asking them their thoughts.
