Borla exhaust installed a few weeks ago and broken in if anyone contemplating buying it and wants to hear it live. The sound clips online do not do it justice. It farts, gurgles, growls, and whines. Throttle becomes a character dial, it can sound like a muscle car hard on the throttle or whine nearly identical to a Ferrari when light on the throttle revving between 2500 and 4000 rpm.

It's what the car should of sounded like from factory isn't it? I've had mine on for a few thousand KM's now and it sounds amazing, K&N CAI for me as well, might be getting the down/pipe mid pipes next and BOV.

Nice! It really is how it should come from the factory. Next on the list for me is downpipes and midpipes. I've got twin HKS valves on and injen intakes. Eventually intercooler will be upgraded when a worthy tune is out.

Just saw my first blue Stinger up close in Ottawa. Loblaws Merivale parking lot.

Happy Easter everyone, I see lots of Nepean/Barrhaven/Riverside owners here, add me to the list.

I signed the paperwork yesterday for a Black on Red Limited, should have it in just over a week.

 

[YOWStinger]

I'll get the info and pass it along. Cost was $200.

Hey @Patty_P ,

What badges did that include? I might sign up for that. While we were looking at pictures of Stingers she pointed out a rebadged Stinger and asked "Can we do that?" Would like to do at least the front and rear.

Hi, welcome, and congrats yowstinger. While you were signing paperwork my car was turning on a check engine light lol. 17k km in an already 1 shot spark plug . Taking it in for service tomorrow to see if they'll do it on the spot for me. Cracked plug without tune or chip, pretty disappointed in Kia's choice of plugs for the 3.3l.

I hear that’s one of the major issues, maybe buy a set of HKS and have them swap all of them while they’re in there...

Not sure I'd want to spend $300+ for them to swap em or run the car long enough for the hks plugs to get here with 1 cylinder completely disabled by the ECU lol. I do plan on swapping them myself this summer though.

They really missed the ball on this one, customers shouldn't have to upgrade parts like this for the sake driveability. Hearing it misfire with borla exhaust really has me wishing someone would tune the car to misfire on upshifts, the pop is unreal. Borla pops and farts but misfire pop is on a hole different level.

 

[YOWStinger]

Yup, that's certainly fair

 

[YOWStinger]

Saw a red Stinger on Sunday driving down River road, we had just walked out of Kelley's Landing, my black Stinger was parked on the side of the road. Was that anyone here?

 

[Hydrajin]

Loud ghost grey, not enough local stinger owners on the forum if you ask me lol.

Hi!,

I'm currently buying a white GT Limited in Gatineau! I would be interested to know how much did you guys paid for the car ? (If that's not too personal of course). Can't wait to drive it around!

Go to Kia on huntclub, they give you free oil changes for life on the car, well worth it seeing how its a 150$ oil change lol

 

[YOWStinger]

I wouldn't recommend Kia on Hunt Club, I bought from them but felt like I got screwed around during the deal, particularly by Kia Canada, but there was all sorts of damage to my car when I picked it up, some of it I didn't discover until I got home and of course we went straight to "prove it didn't happen between the dealership and when you got it home", and they weren't willing to help out. They will push you hard for a 5 star review on Google and with Kia Canada but don't seem to want to earn it, apparently asking for it is all they feel they need to do to get it.

Avoid any dilawri stealership period, nothing but bad experiences from the Kia and Dodge dilawris from me and my friends. I bought mine from Orleans Kia, at the time they didn't include anything but they gave me the full autotrader value of my trade-in which made a big dent in the price and saved quite a bit with tax difference with trade in. My sister bought a stinger from them and her conditions to sell were good trade in value for her old car, red leather seats on a 2.0l, and free lifetime conplimentary service similar to what genesis offers. They actually had her choose the design and red/black accents of the seats at a custom leather shop that did the install. All at no extra cost.

Kia on hunt club not only ripped me off for service but they also oil/grease stained my roof liner with 4 nice oil/grease spots lol.
