Drag/Acceleration Kia Stinger 1/4 Mile Times

I’m definitely deep into the research. I don’t think I’ll end up with DPs or removing the primary cats. That’s a bit too aggressive for my interest. But the mids and back, I’m considering some options. Thanks for the input.

Oh man I love my SSR down pipes!

I would most defenetely reccomend anyone to get the SSR DP. I have had 0 issues at all and very easy to install and remove for dealer visits. The only issues I have heard of are with primary downpipes not with secondary.

Get the SSR Down pipes and Muffler deletes lol!!!
This is the sound the Stinger should of had from the factory.
I don't work for SSR and I am not a paid actor from SSR.

I’m looking at those. They are my top option. But those are actually midpipes, correct? They eliminate the secondary cats and don’t bolt directly off the turbos. At least, that is how I understand it.

Yes you are correct. Some people call them midpipes or secondary downpipes, it means the same thing. Yes they remove the secondary cat and connect after the primary Downpipe. They are very easy to install 4 bolts and you can do the install in a garage with basic tools.
I provided you a video of the sound.

Yeah. I’ll be getting mids, but I don’t plan on getting primary.

The dp and mid are a bit of a mistery hp wise. David posted his dynos on fb with and with out dps and the dps added 3 hp! I did before and after dragy same day as my mid install and no gains. Not saying the vendors are lying on hp gains but strange. Tork who is super honest and don't even sell either pipe saw the same gains as other vendors, 25 hp mid and more for dp. There shouldn't be adaptive time on exhaust like there is on an intake.
My ark catback was 10hp. Intake showed huge gains but not until the next day - .2, FMIC, .07, wheels .1
Locke and i were both tuned/ piggy. Maybe the dp and mp gains are measured on stock cars?

Gimme a sec and I'll post a sheet with stock vs dps with oem tune.

 

[Terry@BMS]

Power gains with exhaust modifications depends on the tuning. If the tuning itself is WGDC dependent then you'll see more "gain" as the mods are actually augmenting something that could be done via tuning but wasn't done.

good call. Its been nothing but a nightmare for me lol

That's likely, doing it this way will probably increase boost a little bit which would result in higher power

JohnB is just trolling per usual. All posts made here are available for anyone with a 5th grade or higher reading level to review. My posts on the subject are pretty clear.

For the detectives: If the timeslip says 3/1/19 then a Corvette having the same number 3/8/19 doesn't seem relevant unless they confirmed the timeslip in question was actually from 3/8/19 but has the wrong date on it. Did they confirm there is a date printing error on their slip or are they saying the date was forged? Doesn't seem clear to me.

They confirmed that the track was not open on either the 1st of the 15th of this month and the last car to run #106 was a corvette that number hasnt been used for some time.

Just trying to get the story here. So he took a 10 second slip from 3/8/19, and forged the date to 3/1/19? Or they are saying the entire slip is forged? That seems like a lot of work it was clearly printed out on a some sort of timeslip printer.

Their date is off on their slips. Give the track a call and find out for yourself Terry. Multiple people got the same story from multiple people who work at the track. Just stop trying to defend this your making yourself look bad.

No where does it say 3/8/19...

Where are you getting the date 3/8?

3/08 is the date from the track that they had racing. The track didnt have racing on the 1st or 15th.

Yeah, Miguel and I (and the rest of Stung By Kia) chill all the time. Yes. We have videos. Yes, I’m having traction issues with AWD. No. Right now, my best time was in manual launch. I just mashed it at green. No. I wouldn’t say his car is faster. In that race where he hit 12.09, I’m trapping higher. I trap between 116-118mph.

How are you breaking traction when our 11.5 car doesnt have any traction issues.

Getting a clear understanding of the facts isn't defending.

So the story is: Bal took a timeslip from 3/8/19, this specific timeslip had the wrong 3/1/19 date printed on it by the track, and then Bal passed it off as his own timeslip on 3/15/19?

Tonka's Dragy run was done on Pilot Sport 4S's, Kato's track run was done on Pilot Sport 4's. There's a big difference between the tires apparently in cold weather performance. Also, we don't have a dyno from each to compare torque so that may play a factor as well, but it's probably mostly the tires from what others are saying

Kato has Michelin Sport 4 and I have 4S. The 4 appears to get harder at cold temps.

Boy this is like explain it to a child lol. If you cant understand it from what has been presented I am sorry I wont help you anymore. Facts are its fake its from a corvette end of story keep trying.

Very informative and you solved my mystery. As advertised gains on stock boost and marginal gains on tuned boost.
This also explains why the tuned catless cars don't perform much better than the tuned stock exhaust cars.

Agree, its either a Corvette or just totally fabricated. Either way 90% of us knew it was bogus all along.

I agree with the previous two posters. I think the tires and weather played a big issue.

I dynoed mine a couple weeks ago, but it was on a Mustang dyno. Thus, a couple people did not find the numbers accurate, especially the high torque.
