I've been sort of compiling and validating some combinations. Criteria: avoiding poke, trying to find ways to improve on the stock look without compromising performance too much, etc. Seems like an okay start, might be cool if we could add to it (original in Excel has formulas and all that bit.) Thoughts?

Hi all,

Just into my second week of Stinger ownership and unfortunately I’m unconvinced this is going to be the car for me, but I’ve always tried to participate in owners clubs and communities so here I am. Also thanks to the community for all the content already on here, it was very useful when researching the car.

Bit of background: I’m U.K. based and have a red over black Stinger GTS (which I think is a GT2 RWD everywhere else in the world). I’m coming to this car from the love of my automotive life, a 2004 350z that I owned for 15 years, maintained mostly myself and did some significant but tasteful mods to. The stinger is supposed to be my grown up car now that I’ve got a new 120 mile round trip I’ll have to do once or twice a week.

I was sure before buying that this was the car for me but I have to say it’s not been a great ownership experience so far, although a lot of that is to do with the dealer and the particular car, not the Stinger in general. Buying an in-warranty car from a main dealer I figured I’d be pretty safe, but every time I drive the car I find something else not right with it. Some of this I’m just annoyed at myself for not noticing when I viewed the car, but some of this is stuff that the dealer had hidden or was done to the car between me seeing it and it being delivered, which is the kind of thing you’d expect from shady used car types, not a main dealer franchise.

I’m pretty much 50/50 right now on whether I keep the car and try to make the most of it or cut my losses and take the hit on trading it in for something else. Hoping the community can inject me with a bit of enthusiasm, as it’s running really low right now.

Many thanks,

MS

My driver's side just went out. And I don't want to putvthe OE reflectors back in.

Good morning,

I've been waiting to have this exhaust installed since mid December when I received it and yesterday it all went down at a reputable shop I decided on. I went without the resonators and am very impressed by the tone of this exhaust and the theatrics it offers for the Stinger, especially ripping on the highway.

I had the entire exhaust welded, starting with a mid pipe flange delete. The mild steel of the OEM (2023) flange was heavily rusted and this was the way to go. It was mated up nicely with the cats and welded directly. I don't have a picture of the work done on this section.

I requested to have the quad exit pipes extended to match how the OEM setup was positioned in the bezels. I am very happy with how it looks, it is hard to tell that it is modified at first glance but if you know you know and that's exactly how I like it.

This exhaust has an intense low frequency drone right around 2.5K RPM - I knew this going in and it was the primary reason for extending the exit pipes.

The passenger side exhaust actuator connector wiring had to have its retainer clip disconnected to allow connection to the actuator when mounted on the MBRP catback. The wiring was pulled tight here and is just long enough to connect - I will probably need to extend the connector wiring on this side to accommodate my 11Mode controller.

Here are some pictures:

Anyone else have oil leaking from this location?

Went to do an oil change today, and notice oil dripping on the steering rack motor. seems to be either coming out of the top of the oil filter housing near the crank and or from where the oil cooler attaches to the filter housing.

Anyone else have this issue?

I have the stinger gt and I’m thinking about going for intakes first then a dyno tune and an exhaust, will this net me the most power reliably?

Hello I hope this gets a little traction, I just bought my 19 Kia stinger gt, I think want to get it around 400-450 who, I see alot of people talking about the jb4 piggy back tune but I have a really hard time trusting it. Any insight? Theres a reputable dyno shop near me I can get a dyno tune at. Should I go down that route?

My GT2 has been in storage for 5 months so I wanted to circulate the oil before starting the car. I pulled the 15A "sensor 1" fuse in the engine bay. It's described as the fuel pump fuse. Pushed the start button and the car started right up and ran great. No warning lights on the dash or anything. So, so much for circulating oil before starting.

Does anyone have a way of turning over the engine to circulate oil without starting it that actually works?

Hi folks, I'm excited to take her on the final roadtrip in my bucket list (NC500).

I'm planning on going in March and aiming to be back home before the kids are released from school.

I'm hoping to alternate between hotel and car camping for a balanced budget and experience. My only worry is getting a flat as I have patch kits but hoping I get signal for the AA incase I breakdown.

I really want to do the apple cross pass but given the size of the vehicle, I might skip.

Given the 300mile range I think I'm safe without a petrol can as I will fill up as much as I can between towns

Starting in Inverness, 7 days counter clockwise.

Let me know if you have any tips for this trip.
