Let my start off by saying that I have very little knowledge on cold air intakes and exhausts, however, I'm not completely retarded. Secondly, I would like to say that I have looked around on the forums (as well as other websites) to see which cold air intakes and exhausts seem to be popular, however, I'm having a bit of a hard time deciding. Finally, I would like to say that I am on a budget ($0 - $400)!
So, I have never done any modifications to my car before and I would like some opinions as to whether I should put on a CAI or a new muffler (I would only be able to buy one) to satisfy what I want; also I would like to know if the parts I have selected are worth it. I would like my car to have a really nice, preferably deep tone to it, as well as having the part provide some kind of performance increase -- not necessarily gas mileage because I know that I'll be wasting gas having fun with my new performance mod! By the way, I'm 17 years old if it helps between the choosing -- maybe you'll understand the feeling I'm trying to fulfill. I want to feel as if my car could tear up the road (maybe like an earthquake? lol jk)! Maybe someone will understand!
CAI I had in mind (doesn't have to be the black edition though it looks nice!):
Black Label Limited Edition CAIs Include:
- Large Dia. Crinkle Black Coated CAI Pipe
- Crinkle Black Coated ECU Bracket
- Limited Edition Sticker
- High Flow Air Filter
- Tucks Deep into the Fender Well
- 1 Piece, Smooth Bends, Direct Flow
- All Clamps & Couplers for Perfect Fit
* OHHH and the Sound!!!
+7WHP & 6Ft Lbs of Torque (Add back the DYNO loss and those numbers are closer to 10HP & 10Ft Lbs!)
(TurboKits.com - 2010+ Kia Forte KOUP Turbo Kits)
Exhaust Muffler I had in mind:
Part #: 12865
Inlet/Outlet Size: 2.25in./2.25in.
Body Shape: 5in. Round
Core Size: 2.5in
Body Length: 14in.
Material: 100% Stainless Steel - Satin Finish

I got interested in this one when I saw this:
YouTube - Koup with Magnaflow 2
Thanks for recording that Blkkoup!
Which one do you think I should go with? How much do you think it will cost to install it? Should I go with something else all together??? Tell me what you think! Thanks in advance!
