3.3TT - SSR Performance Dual Front Mount CAI - PRE-ORDER SPECIAL! (pics/vid inside)

A little late development teaser... up for pre-order now!

Very cool, what about rain hitting the filters? I would expect these filters to get dirty quite fast. Does the bumper have to come off to clean/change the filters?

Applications very similar to these have been well tested in the rain, so unless you're driving through a hurricane / freakish storm.. you'll be just fine

Yes, the bumper would have to come off to clean / replace the filters. Only takes about 15 minutes after you've done it the first time.

Great to see a true CAI finally available for our Stingers!

Looks badass and 29HP gain is very impressive. I love my DIY intakes but this looks like the winner so far.

I wonder how accurate these hp gains are. I just don’t see a car gaining 60whp with just a intake and downpipes. I could be wrong but from what I’ve seen over the years of doing full builds 60whp is not easy to get unless we are talking adding a good amount of boost.

Considering that these are done at the absolute best conditions for their product (assuming that they are in fact publishing honest results), that is very much a valid concern. I suspect intake gains are not recorded in real world conditions with with the hood closed on a hot day, after heat has built in the engine compartment.

Whenever you start combining components I don't think you ever get the sum of all of the stated HP increases but My results on just the intakes on a stock car were favorable according to Dragy.
Stock - 13.67 @ 103.8
W/ Stillen Intakes - 13.24 @ 106.6
Same stretch of road 2 days apart. Second day was 10* cooler though.

According to this HP calculator when you put the MPH & in 4023# for the car it was a 28.8 HP increase

Edit: Forgot to add the link

I really like this chart idea. Props on that..... Would it be too much to add a colunm for availability on 2.0T and 3.3TT? That way we can have a quick reference also? And if you want to add the BIG Mouth ram intake that just came out this month?

I highly doubt any reputable company would risk fraud by lying on public documents, but I completely agree their results will be the absolute best they can produce for their own products.

Unfortunately most dynos are rarely done in real world conditions so hoods open & fans blowing is common practice today. Simply consider manufacturers numbers to be at the top of the potential increases and drop about 25% off their results for realistic gains.

The peak HP gain for SSR is not accurate. Peak is closer to 15. You are showing max hp gain. All the intakes are about 15 peak and 25-30 hp max give or take. Most manufacturrers don't mention the max.

What's the difference between peak and max???

 

[Tonkabob]

Peak is the highest hp on both charts. Max is the largest HP difference. Near redline the difference is 30 hp but that isnt the peak for either line. Total or peak only goes up 15.

 

[Schumi Jr]

I updated the chart. Any thoughts?

My Injen install was a breeze and everything fit great. I only wish I had a choice of filter color.

Ordered the K&N drop in filters today. Looking for a bit more versus the OEM filters. Will use the Seat Of The Pants Dyno.

Don't forget another option is installing any cold air intake of your choice and complimenting it with our BIG MOUTH ram air intake ducts which are optimized to capture as much frontal dynamic pressure available.

Kia Stinger 3.3T and 2.0T - BIG MOUTH - Ram Air Intake | Velossa Tech Design





















For those who want to keep it simple yet effective and go with an off the shelf cold air intake (stillen, K&N, injen etc..), our ram ducts will feed your intake (aftermarket or stock) all the air it needs and then some. Our specialty is low pressure drop ram ducting and CFD analysis and fluid optimization of our BIG MOUTH line of ram inlets.



We 3D scanned a stingers radiator support and shroud to ensure the design had OEM fitment and ease of installation with our full color instructions available as well.

Also, 28 colors to choose from to add some style to your ride!

Contrary to what that chart says the drop in filters will not help with getting cool air to the engine. The most you can expect from them is increased longevity.

The stock ducting is cold air but a bit restrictive from the stock snorkle and paper filter. K&N will help cold air flow a little and combined with a stock snorkle mod (DIY or big mouth) could be pretty effective.

I wonder if anyone with a Dyno would do a pull with the K&N Drop In filters. I would suspect not, as the ones with the dynos are probably the ones selling the more expensive solutions?

Not necessarily. Most people who have dynos don't even sell Stinger parts. It would be really easy for someone to test out if they're already visiting a dyno, for sure.

The filter isn't going to do anything to add cool air to the system. It sits in the same box as the stock filter. Flow may be slightly increased but temps will remain unchanged.

When I had them installed I felt no difference from stock.

I didn't do a before and after but on the same dyno my AWD made 10hp more than another stock AWD and i had a catback and the k&n panels. My muffler is not quite straight through. (Flowmaster dbx). Since a muffler delete is about 12 hp, I'd say the K&N contributed little to none of my 10 hp gain.
