3.3TT SSR Performance Dual Front Mount CAI - PRE-ORDER SPECIAL! (pics/vid inside)

[StungBlueGT2]

Finally...
The time has come! I introduce to you, the world's first true cold air intake for the Kia Stinger 3.3TT! Below are some late-development photos. Final photos will be coming soon but this is exactly what you can expect sound and looks wise! Scroll down for sound clips!

THESE PHOTOS ARE MID DEVELOPMENT ZIP-TIES WILL NOT BE USED IN THE FINAL APPLICATION...lol

It has been a long time coming but we are extremely excited to finally announce the official pre-order release of our SSR Performance Dual Front Mount Cold Air Intakes! As you guys know we kept this project under wraps, and it was for good reason. This is the world's first true cold air intake for the Kia Stinger 3.3TT. Our in-house engineering team spent countless hours in R&D including 3D scanning, 3D design and modeling, and then finally 3D printing our custom intake ducts that make this intake possible.

As you can see, our all new front mount intakes take the filters from inside the hot engine bay and put them right where you have the coldest, most dense, air right behind the front grille. Given that the Kia Stinger 3.3TT is turbocharged, this is the best kind of air you can provide for your car to make optimal power.

Similar intakes have been used and proven on turbo motors for years now including applications on BMW's, Infiniti's, and more. This is the first time this application has been designed for use on a Kia.

For the first time ever, these intakes are available at a discounted rate!
PRE-ORDER $629.00
MSRP $729.00

Very impressive and glad someone finally made a true sealed CAI for our Stingers!

29HP just for intakes is awesome and easily the best intakes available for the money.

Pretty cool for someone that doesn't drive a bunch. But people who put a lot of miles on the car or live in a dusty environment will be taking the bumper off every few weeks to clean the filter.

If the Stinger wasn't my primary mode of transportation I might consider this.

 

[Mr Skillet]

Do the filters require the removal of the radiator shroud?

I think the photo's answer your question. You can see they've removed it.

 

[Never thought]

I think if you bought hydro shields and put them on the filters that would alleviate some concerns.

I was thinking the same it would be best if it was included at this price point. I’m in NY lots of snow and rain.

 

[Angel]

In chicago i mean i really love the design....and i know SSR says there would be no issue but of course its his product....he lives in California lol.....its never an issue into its an issue for me a 50k car its not worth the risk....winters are brutal in Chicago and rain and snow i am not risking it....now i am not a hater i bought there downpipes and axleback....and honestly if i was in florida i would buy these intakes....but for me i am not risking it....i am going with the JT and the snorkles...

Just wondering about the affects of cooling efficiency without the shroud, possible issue with hard driving in the summers in the southwest.

 

[Kazz]

Two things:

1. I'm reading things wrong or something, because when I read the two lines at the top of your dyno, the differences between "stock" and with the intake are off by 10 each?
2. Is there an actual restriction of airflow as you pass through the intake ducts? Is the rectangular area the same or less or greater than that of the tubing?

Eye-opening design!!

 

[StruttinSoul]

Curious how this would be against icing since I plan on driving my car in the winter, BC has fairly mild winters but I could imagine in a place like Calgary this intake would not be recommended? I remember with my old car on road trips I'd stop and have ice on the inter cooler.

The fortunate thing with the intakes is that the forced induction would likely cause any ice buildup to sublimate quickly and the ice would go away. Any heat that made its way from the engine bay forward to the intakes would only make that process faster.

I'm surprised there would be any ice buildup on the intercooler. As it built up you'd expect the intercooler efficiency to drop which would bring it's temperature up. I wouldn't expect any ice to be built up at steady state. Maybe that just means you need to drive it harder

 

[StruttinSoul]

It happens quite often in that area, this is what I'm concerned about building up on the filters too

 

[ZyroXZ2]

This is intriguing, but as many of the posts are (legitimately) concerned with, I think these should be track-use only (and I don't mean due to legality of road use). Something like that in inclement weather will be privy to a variety of issues that would reduce performance (though not necessarily be a "problem", per se), and the removal of the radiator shroud in addition to literally impeding radiator airflow could be a problem in the dead heat of the wrong traffic conditions in the summer.

This is something I'd basically put on right before a trip to the drag strip or to the race track, then take back off after the runs/laps are done. That's just my $0.02 on it.

And then when it melts off the top of the filter you'll have sandy/muddy/salty water seeping into the housing. Definitely a no-go for people who deal with snow, sand, and salt.

I agree this is a beautiful CAI, but not designed for midwestern weather. These CAI with ouur rain storms and winters would be receipt for a hydro locked engine.

 

[StruttinSoul]

Yeah which is too bad because this is honestly my favorite of all the intakes. I wonder if a hydroshield would provide enough protection.

 

[brancky3]

There's no way you're getting hydrolocked with this setup. Your filters literally need to be like 100% submerged for that to happen.

 

[Beejumz]

I'd run this in a street car no problem. Rain wont be an issue. This design will probably yield best gains/coldest air possible.

1. The maximum gains is based off the greatest delta, max hp made might be only increased by 10hp but a increase somewhere else in the power curve may be greater, but still less than the highest hp made.

2. The intake duct from the outside is quite restrictive. It comes in at a very weird angle and the entrance is very small. This seems to eliminate that bottle neck all together. Which is probably part of the gains.

 

[robz32]

Definitely the only true CAI in the market currently for the Stinger.

All concerns posted so far are valid, however similar setups have been ran on other platforms with success and no issues, ie: the G37, 370Z, M5 E60, etc

M5 E60

G37, 370Z

Now one major concern I have is servicing the filter elements. On the examples above you can gain access to the filters by removing the front grille and the radiator air guide. On the Stinger however, we can not remove the grille or the air guide without removing the front facia, so that would mean a facia removal every time the filters need cleaning.
