cat back exhaust worth it?

**cooljay** · 11-03-2006, 09:44 AM

For my car the dealer offers a body kit + cat back exahust system. What I'm wondering if it's even worth it. I haven't got quoted a price to install it but was just wondering if the cat back exhaust would be worth it?

Any reason why not? If you're going to post, please explain your answer other than to "laugh" and say no. :roll: all I ever see you do is troll threads and provide negative comments.

Besides the fact that it's a Kia. Which kinda gets me because when american muscle was the big thing everyone was laughing at all the Japanese cars and now that Kia is around it's the same deal. I'm not doing it for the body kit, could care less about making my car a ricer car, but a little extra performance wouldn't hurt.

Economically speaking, no. But would it improve your enjoyment of the car?

how bigs the engine like a 1.1? kia? well if u must full exhaust would be the best, but on small economical engines intake and exhaust barely boosts hp.

It's a 1.6. It's a nice car, rides good and has some good pickup on it, but was just curious to see if maybe the cat back would add/remove anything as far as performance, gas mileage etc.

A 1.6 liter car, mmmm, let's face it, slow and economical!
Body kits and cut down exhaust systems are just a waste of cash, IMHO. Drive it for a while, save some more cash and trade up to something bigger and better. Just .20 :wink:

I wouldn't spend the $$$$ on an exhaust for a KIA. No offense, but KIA's are not exactly performance oriented. Your looking at maybe a 5hp gain at best, the few hundred you would spend could be much better spent on other things

i wouldnt, i would get a cold air intake and a k/n fiter also posibly a chip, but other than that i wouldnt, save your money :wink:

dude please dont, cuz honestly, if i see a Kia Rio on the road with exhaust and a body kit, im just gunna laugh and not because i drive a mustang. i like plenty of imports, but on a Kia Rio, it rather pointless. IMO.
