Don’t know if this has been posted, I find when reversing the music will automatically lower.

 

[Ucinn]

You see better when the volume is lower!

Just as an FYI the lowering of volume in reverse is a setting you can change.

I have to sit down and read my manuals, so much to learn. Which is why this thread is very useful.

I didn't watch the video, but in general a catalytic converter is downstream of the exhaust and has nothing directly to do with the turbocharger system upstream. Catalytic converters these days are very free-flowing.
The 3.3TT uses two twin spool turbochargers. A better term would be (in my opinion) a dual step turbo. Each bank is separate and has 3 cylinders. Looking at only one bank:
The turbine wheel on the exhaust side has a graduated surface, one a smaller diameter than the other. Exhaust from one cylinder is sent to the smaller diameter surface of the turbo wheel. Exhaust from another exhaust is sent to the larger diameter surface of the turbo wheel. (The remaining exhaust is simply sent out the tailpipe.) By having two diameters, the turbine can react quickly on quick acceleration (large diameter) and with more force once the turbine spins up (small diameter).

Well, this explanation has sense and congruence, even though I'm not an automotive engineer.
So, besides the cat back's "awesome sound", my stubborn question has not been answered by the main cat backs manufacturers (Borla, Magnaflow, ARK, etc)....how many horse power this system will add to the Stinger engine....for Christ sake?????. The premise is , the cat back is designed and manufactured, so it must be dyno proven too, isn't it???, or they are in "beta tested" stage still......

Cute.

My husband is the one that tells me I am obsessed with my Stinger. He has no real interest in cars... /sigh

Has anyone discovered how to stop the radio from playing when you turn the car off? Without having to open the doors.

 

[bugaboo90]

Does any car not do this now? Every new or newish car I drive and have been in leaves the audio on until the door is opened or after a lengthy time-out of several minutes.

Only Jeeps and now the Stinger that “I” know of. Had a 2015 KIA K900 turned radio turned off right away.
