Purchase from @NICK_KHAR at Khartunerz. First off Nick is awesome to work with this is my second purchase from him with many to come.
Injen Intake Short Ram Dual Intake Kit - Kia Stinger 3.3TT
First off these look awesome under your hood. The filters point right at where the air ducts filter air into the engine bay.
My mechanic had the old stuff out in 10 minutes and the new in about 20 minutes. He had ZERO issues with fit. One small hose included with it did need a small trim but that's ok would rather it be to long than to short.
He actually was so impressed and liked it so much that he got out some extra lighting so that he could take some good pictures of it. When he got in and reved it some and got out and gave me the huge smile of approval.
How does it sound? When you go to the doctor one of the things they have you do is breath while they listen. Inhale ..... Exhale and again. This is what your engine is doing. I literally have been driving around now with the radio off so I can hear the awesomeness it adds to an already awesome car. It really wakes the car up and man does it sound great!
So on to performance, the ECU will take some adjusting to get used to how well your engine can breathe so you might not notice anything at first but let me tell you it's like you woke up a sleeping beast.
From a rolling start, I wouldn't say you feel much but you definitely hear the turbos sucking in as much air as they can.
From a dead stop or almost a dead stop hold on tight boys and girls your about to have a little butt pucker happen, you definitely feel it from 0 to 60.
I even went by my dealership and gave my sales guy a test ride so he could see, he has a Stinger as well. The grin and excitement on his face were priceless I see his car getting this upgrade in the near future.
So I'm not a "Car" guy I'm learning all of this stuff as I go and if you have seen any of my posts that's obvious. There are several intakes you can pick from which include a DIY to the one that requires you to remove your bumper. Personally I think they are all going to give you similar results with maybe the one under the bumper giving you the best IAT's however my mechanic said that he likes to call them straw intakes because you'll be sucking water before you know it especially here in Florida where it's rained every day for the last week or so.
So why I went with Injen was based on where the filters are and the fact that it was red and I wanted to add a pop of color under the hood. The blue might grow on me but if not Injen makes pre-filters to cover them up. Also if your crazy about heat shields Injen makes those as well and both are available on Amazon.com
That said please excuse the dirty engine bay as I've not had a day without rain to be able to clean. Just a few pictures of the before and after. I do not have any videos of the sound yet due to rain and will be getting another dyno done in a couple of weeks when my guy is back from vacation and the power isn't flickering from thunderstorms.
Here is a video it's a little long but should let you hear as much as my phone would pick up. You can hear it better with headphones.
