- Xforce Exhaust with Valved Muffler Test and Review.
My Review:
Overall, I love this exhaust. The sound is amazing when the valves are open. When they are closed, it sounds like the factory exhaust, which is good when you want to sneak in and out of places. I only had two problems. As you can see in the video, the exhaust moves around a bit. I noticed when putting the exhaust on, they hangars that are supplied, are a tad flimsy. There are 3 adjustable location on the hanger. I currently have them set in the middle of the 3. I was not able to get the muffler to go high enough to reach the closest adjustment due to the muffler being up against the heat shield. The second problem you may be able to hear in the video. I have a sleight leak between the two center portions. Now this more than likely is user error when installing and I will update this description once I am able to get the car back on the lift and move the clamps around.
None of these problems are significant and will not turn me away from telling everyone that is interested to purchase one. I enjoy the sound a lot and will more than likely never have the valves closed :)
UPDATE 12/9/21:
After having the exhaust on the car for a while. It just gets better and better. Now that it was broken in, had the chance to have some carbon build up, it has a much deeper and nicer sound. Even some more crackles and pops (which you will also get more of if you have the DCT transmission, I have the manual). As for the exhaust leak, I have fixed that problem. I didn’t have one of the clamps correct but I would recommend using a sealer of some sort at the clamping points. For those wondering where I purchased this from. Link is below.

Was considering exhaust for my 21 and found this video. Well made and good clips of the exhaust in action. Also a nice surprise to see it was made by someone who probably lives within 15-20 miles of me
I love that exhaust especially the open and close of the valve. Can't wait to save my cash and get the full system. Great video!
Nice video man, i'm about to get the same exhaust next week! Hope you dont mind me asking though...what exactly makes that nice ass whistle sound when you change gear?
He has a blow off valve on his turbo
Does it come with instructions on how to install? I just bought this right after watching the video.
Sounds clean, planning on buying one in December
Buy it now or you might not find one.
Panda motorworks is the best and is where I got mine
It Sounds Good Not To Allow👍🔥
Great job on the vid. It sounds good.
Thank you!
do you get burbles on deceleration? and does she still crackle when warmed up, because i know the stock exhaust mostly pops when cold?
is the car lowered and by how much? - looks good...
Did you install this yourself? If so, is it pretty simple? Also, how does the install with the switch work?
Yes I installed it myself. I did need a lift though to make it easier. Switch came with the exhaust, all I did was run the wiring into the car so that the remote had a clear signal to the receiver
I just had mine installed - i can't tell which setting is OPEN and which is CLOSED (i park in a parking garage and there's so much echo) is A OPEN and B CLOSED, or the other way around?
A is open and b closed
I think I heard the blow off valve or something through the exhaust...do you have anything like that or does the exhaust just allow extra sounds to come through...which it did sound sick. Muffler delete?
No Muffler Delete. The XForce exhaust comes with a valved muffler to make it louder or quieter. As for the Blow off valve. I do have a HKS Blow off valve, nothing through the exhaust
You do hear the turbo down spool through the exhaust though
What kind of bov you got on there?
Mine pops like crazy and a it’s a manual. I just have muffler and resonator delete. I also have the pedal commander, makes it so when I barely touch the gas and it’s full throttle. Changes the car car a lot.
After 7 months, how's the PedCom doing for you?
@@thegirthquake8574 it’s not bad but I’ve sold that and got a 22 g70 so more then enough power stock
Does it pass emissions if you remove muffler and resonator???
@@anthonyrios8168yes, as long as you don't touch the cats
Did you get it tuned as well if so what were your gains
I had a JB4. Ran mostly map 3 on 93. Never did any actual figures though
Seems like it moves around a lot is that normal?
hi, is that just the varex muffler or the whole exhaust system (xforce cat back with varex muffler) as a bolt on kit?
This one is the entire 3in cat back system with the varex muffler. I bought it through Panda Motorworks. Yes it is bolt on but I would recommend a sealer of some sort with it
@@The_Kia_Guy what type of sealer do you recommend
Is this with the stock downpipe?
I installed this on my 23 gt and i cant seem to find why it is rattling
You figure it out? Got the same problem
Is this the 2022 gt? I’m trying to figure out if this exhaust fits the 2022 model
No this is a 21 Forte GT
Should still fit the 2022 GT they didn't change that much. Intakes and everything else are pretty much the same. If anything it'd just be an adjustment on the fittings.
Is there a short ram on this car?
Sorry! Just now seeing these comments. Not short ram but it does have a Cold Air Intake and Blowoff valve
I wonder if this will fit my 2022 gt model
I asked the company. Told me that it will fit but the clamps will have to be adjusted for proper fitment which I'm sure the auto shop will be more than capable of doing.
Is this a bolt on kit?
Sorry just saw the comment. Yes it is full bolt on.
Anyone know if this is compatible with the Forte5 GT?
pretty sure it is.
