I ask for something that looked dull, OEM-like. It's their own "sport series" resonator from a different exhaust they offer.What resonator option did you pick?
I was likeSo there are no center mounting points? Does it feel pretty ridged just from the support of the elbows?
That does seem odd since the pipe looks like it's an increase in diameter. But glad that it work. Where you able to put the lower engine cover back on or did you leave it off? The improvements to the car you mentioned do sound very promising and exciting to hear. This was no where near my build list but for that price it sounds promising.I was like, too, about no mounting brackets. It feels rigid enough. I drove over some rough roads and dips to see if it would hit anything. It clears. I don't think I've seen any aftermarket pipes with mounting brackets.

The piping is bigger. According to SXTH Element, the piping is 2 1/4". The lower engine cover is on and it clears. I hit the cover with my fist to see if it hits the pipe. I'm confident that there are no clearance issues.That does seem odd since the pipe looks like it's an increase in diameter. But glad that it work.

That is awesome to hear. Thanks for the updates Hamster. This has been one of the best places online to look at Forte mods.The piping is bigger. According to SXTH Element, the piping is 2 1/4".

Have you installed this yet? A before and after exhaust sound video would be great if you have it!I haven't installed it, yet. I am keeping the stock muffler on. I don't think it's a restriction at stock power levels. It does bypass the secondary catalytic converter and the smaller piping between the resonator and cat. I'm expecting slightly louder exhaust with more noticeable pops and bangs.
I'll try to make a video. I'm not really good at it. I have not installed it, yet. This chassis is harder to put on jack stands then my previous cars. I'm going to install the exhaust right after I do the suspension. I really don't like to wait for the exhaust to cool down.Have you installed this yet?

Awesome!!! Nice thread with all these updates. This car is awesome and im glad to see more aftermarket support for us. Keep up the geat work.I'm back. Summer 2020 hasn't been good to me and I had to put projects on hold. I'm slowly getting things together. I still have not installed the Evilla Motorsports midpipe and the H&R springs. But I just did the Mac BOV put together by KDM Tuners and a MAC mounting bracket from Raceart. I've had this MAC solenoid sitting around since June and searched around for a mounting solution. It took a while since many who have installed this mounted it in a "not so clean" install.
Luckily I found Raceart. I had to use a couple of washers to fill in the space between the bracket and the intercooler pipe. I had to extend the vacuum hose from the intake manifold. Thanks @Olszewski for the recommendation.
Also, I went ahead and installed a Velossa tech "made for Forte" intake stack.![]()

It seems to be one of their most popular selling item. They were also out of stock when I ordered mine. I had to wait a whole month to get mine. You may need to make sure they send it to you when they tell you a date when they will send it. I slipped through the cracks for a week after promised shipping date. Plus, it was on sale and I wasn't going to let it go by canceling.Looks like they're out of stock on these. Waiting...
