Since I see several topics looking for things for our GTs and non GTs. Ive decided to make a one stop topic for links and discussions for Mods and Performance Upgrades.
2019-2022+ Forte GT - Forte Mods and Performance Upgrades/ Tuning. First Page For Links..

Angry Neighbors...LOL!
Highly considering this from N75 as they get it further sorted out. Definitely interested in your thoughts! I think the TCU can unlock some serious potential if this things DCT is any good. My buddy has an RS3 and it's launch control is insane with that things DCT!

LOL my neighbors prolly hate me too but that doesn’t mean I care, nor do I care to put the stock exhaust back on the car.
If all I had to complain about in a day was someone’s exhaust noise, man what a day it would be! 😂
BUT seriously, do you live in like an HOA community or something? My brother n law is fighting to not have to get rid of a truck of his because his tiny 2 car driveway is already full and the neighbors don’t like it sitting in the culdesac in front of his house.. and we’re not talking about an old rust bucket with no motor, it’s a 2016+ silvarado that he drives almost everyday.
Yeah think they’re gonna be moving real soon!
In the next city they are giving out fix it tickets/tickets for loud exhausts. Its becoming a thing here now. Im not in HOA. Even the cops i talked to mentioned enough complaints can bring a a decibel meter out. To many pop and bang tunes here. I hear it plenty everyday. Last thing i want is to be associated/put in the same group as them.

I can understand that!
Me and a friend were just discussing last night how some of those dang pop and bangs tunes are just obnoxious! I like some pops and whatnot every now and then or some 2 step or anti-lag but some of those tune are just too much racket for me but to each his own!

I have the Evilla Motorsports cat-back exhaust with the Magnaflow resonator in the mid-pipe and the Evilla sport resonator in the axle-back pipe - normal driving it is neither loud or obnoxious. If I go full throttle it gets loud. Cold start is louder then stock but when it idles down it sounds stock.

I browse most of the posts here, and I'm interested in some items. The first one is the
xForce Stainless Steel Cat-back Exhaust System | 2020-2021 Kia Forte G (maperformance.com) Any comment on this one? What I like the most is the remote control to change the output.
I'm also interested in a cold air intake, but I couldn't decide on the many alternatives presented. Any recommendation? I love the intake sound, but I would prefer the less noticeable, at least at low speed, for reasons beyond this post.
My car already has the RACECHIP GTS and got the following results from a dyno test:
| Stock | RaceChp | Variance | % | |
| HP | 192.65 | 236.00 | 43.35 | 23% |
| Torque | 214.02 | 281.77 | 67.75 | 32% |
Does any of the above mods produce any performance improvement? How much? Thanks for any insight, experience, recommendation, comments, critiques, etc.
PS. I promised myself I wouldn't start making mods as I've done in the past. But ... let's say I'm weak when it is related to cars and performance.😟🤥
