It may not. A smaller washer will work. Problem with that is I didn’t see an easy way to remove the washer. It’s not a normal screw when you look at the point, but maybe you can find a replacement. Using the dremel was easy enough.

I'll make that opening a little bigger on future prints. For now if anyone else has this issue use a smaller washer if you can get it off or use a dremel.

Got mine installed. Love the look and seems to help lower temps a bit, thanks @Rakker!

@Rakker Thanks again for supporting the Stinger community and providing additional avenues for products!

I could use the OEM fastener and washer on one hole. I took my rachet and channel locks and unscrewed the stock washer off the other fastener and replaced it with a smaller one. Took a couple minutes. Overall the installation was pretty easy and the snorkels are a VERY nice improvement. Thanks again, Rakker! Only problem is my grill is one of those with the end holes filled in so I only see 2/3 of the snorkel. Debating between cutting them out or buying a new grill.

Yeah that really sucks that Kia decided to fill in those extra columns. Why wouldn't they just use the same grill thats on the GT1 and GT2? If it were me Id cut those with a dremel.

Can't wait to get mine, excited.. Great price too. Going to do the CK71 Daytime running light kit at the same time bumper is off. Wonder how many are ahead of me on the snorkels.

I removed the entire shroud when installing @Rakker snorkels. In case anyone is hesitant about removing the shroud I was driving in temps over 100 today for over three hours and the water temp didn’t rise beyond normal. I even had the car running while parked in 108 degrees for about 10 mins and again the temp did not rise.

@Rakker can you pm me plz. I'm ready to order.

Going with all blue. I'll post pics if anyone is interested.

Successful install of some orange snorkels. I saw an immediate change in IATs during my test drive. I’ve been watching the temps closely over the past few weeks with this mod in mind. I was actually shocked to see such a noticeable improvement. While I was moving I was just 10 over ambient, I was seeing in excess of 20 lately. Looking forward to watching temps over the next few days.
My triumph was almost undone by a near miss with a deer.

You should have a blue film on the headlights.
This color combo rocks!

I feel the same, the right color blue wheels would look great.

Do you have pics of the completed project? esp. how snorkels look behind the GTS grill

The GT and GTS have 2 extra columns on the grill filled in because they dont have the sensor in the middle of the grill like the GT1/2 have (see pic below). Id recommend cutting those out with a dremel.

Not at the moment. It’s not super dramatic, especially because of my grill issue at the edges.
