More recently I’ve been looking for 3d-printing files for the Stinger, and the closest thing I’ve found to a front-mounted intakes has been snorkels, which someone posted here a few years ago, and the file is available on Thingiverse.
That being said, other than that, I haven’t really been able to find anything else for the Stinger. My main question is if anyone has designed and printed front mounted intakes before? But also, if anyone has experience 3d printing in general, and knows the ins-and-outs of 3d design.
I say this because I think it might not be too difficult to redesign the snorkel that’s already available, since all that would really be necessary for a front-mount intakes would be the two adapters, one for the grille side and one for the engine bay side, and those adapters would be the same size as the snorkels, as the snorkels use the same connection.
The snorkel from Thingiverse is a two-piece design, with a base piece and front piece, yet the base would be all that would be needed, and it would have to be essentially sliced in half, and modified to fit the 3” (or bigger) intake tubing. Basically the same design as the old SSR intake, or the new IMR intake.
If anyone has experience with 3d printing, and also is interested in trying to design something like this, so the whole community also has access to it, let me know, I’d help out in any way possible! I’ll post the IMR & SSR Intakes, plus the 3d Printed Snorkel Pictures for reference!
Thank you! I hope everyone is having a beautiful day!

The individual who came up with the design made this for me to test out. It was part of the dyno day results I posted in the past. It was worth somewhere between 7-10 HP over stock.
