Hello everyone , Greetings from sunny singapore.

I got my 2018 GT 3.3 RWD about 2 months ago and installed my Bastuck Exhaust (its the only street legal muffler in singapore)

Part numbers are :
KIA/STI-63TL
KIA/STI-63TR
KIA/STI-1

However, I am severly disappointed in the loudness and sound of this setup of Bastuck Exhaust.

when i am revving the car and let off throttle, i hear this annoying clicking sound which is very obvious and noticeable

Next, i added Jun BL secondary downpipes to my exhaust setup and got very slightly improved sound

However, they still do not sound anything like the ones i see with the flapped bastuck exhaust in Germany youtube videos.

I personally think the Bastuck exhaust (the flap version in germany) has the best sound and pitch to it, which i expected something similar in mine but disappointed.

The only part im left to change is my X pipe, to KIA/STI-1P which is the version of X pipe with no silencer.

Would this help in making my stinger sound like the ones in germany? or should i give up and go for a MBRP Pro (not street legal in Singapore) instead ?

Anyone here running the Bastuck Exhaust with no flaps like mine maybe with the no silencer X pipe? would you mind sharing a video?

Any help and advice is appreciated. Drive safe everyone!
 
i cant post any links or photos for now as i just signed up. but you can find my videos on youtube channel vision carlife.
