Kia Optima Cat Back

Please leave the last 6 characters of your VIN number in the order notes section at checkout.

The cp-e® exhaust system for the Kia Optima 2.0T comes in two sections: The QuickPower™ pipe and the Austenite™ Kia Optima Cat Back. Although the stock exhaust is quiet and comfortable for daily drivers, the exhaust note is bland. We have designed the cp-e® Austenite™ Cat Back Exhaust to bolt directly to your stock components or to the cp-e® QuickPower™ pipe.

Never overwhelming, the new cp-e® sound will grab attention; not from obnoxious noise, but because the sound is exotic and unique. The cp-e® Austenite™ Kia Optima Cat Back includes a StealthPipe™ to assist in making this exhaust the perfect tone for your turbo-charged sedan. This pipe keeps the exhaust at a nice tone while also eliminating drone. We have also used Ball sockets for optimum adjustment and better sealing at the connections. For the greatest performance and tone, choose both the QuickPower™ pipe and the Austenite™ Cat Back!

cp-e® does not use mild "junk" steel or even cut and welded intermediate bends on this pipe. Our exhaust systems are crafted from premium "bright annealed" 304 stainless steel and is mandrel bent to provide a less turbulent exhaust flow. The flanges are 3/8" thick, and laser cut 304 stainless steel for high strength and durability. All critical portions of the pipe are TIG welded. TIG welds are usually avoided in this industry because they require more time and skill than a MIG weld, despite the fact that TIG welds are better suited for thin metals, are better looking, and create a more durable bond. We held nothing back with this product.
