3.3TT Kia Stinger 3.3TT SSR Downpipes +30WHP / +26WTQ NO TUNE!!!!! Dyno Runs and Testing

[Jonathan Lasich]

Seems like SSR designed these with a RWD in mind and the AWD was merely an afterthought!

Kia Corp Eng,
Your GT-R Nismo with the AMS Ronin package must be quite the beast!!
I had the privilege of driving a GT-R with the Switzer 800 HP package and it was amazing in it's own right.
AMS does phenomenal work. I had several of their components on my full bolt on 2010 (only 545 WHP)--top notch engineering and quality! Wish they made aftermarket components for the Stinger!!

Beast is an understatement, Demonic is more like it. It’s scary to say the least. Switzer does great work.

AMS is expensive but well worth the money. I personally delivered and pick up my GTR in Chicago from AMS.

Driving a GTR is an amazing experience. In my opinion the GTR is an engineering masterpiece. My GTR makes my Aventador feel slow.

Do you still own the GTR?

Has anyone had experience with Jun bl down pipes ? There only seems to be 2 downpipes on the market right now.

Jealous of your garage. Mine is a stinger and a 2013 Dodge Journey.

Anyone else have leaks between the ssr mid and catback? Both sides leaking badly. Can see the exhaust blowing out, and water dripping out. SSR is having a look at my pictures.

I think there is only 2. Tork has been thinking about it.
Edit , un tagged tork as they can't post in another vendors thread.

Downpipes come with the Xforce exhaust, but are not sold separately.

This thread is about the SSR Pipes, let’s please keep it to that.

I was looking at getting the SSR downpipes this summer for my AWD along with an ECU tune, but all of these fitment complaints with AWD vehicles has me worried. I like plug-and-play with no subsequent worries/problems. Don't want to start another "Regretting My Mod" thread.

It seems at least a few people have installed them without posting about fitment issues. Maybe somebody has some 'post installation' pics they can share showing the transmission clearance.

Mine show up on Monday, I'll keep you posted

Once I got the fit right, I have had zero issues. I started the “regretting my mod” thread and I mention that I love the SSR.

Seems like you had to make adjustments to the initial install.
So, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly did you do to get "the fit right" after the initial install?
If I end up getting them, I'd like to do everything only once.

Jun BL is another cat delete to consider. I am assuming it’s available for AWD and I’ve never heard of fitment issues with their products (although there could be issues, just never heard of any).

 

[Jonathan Lasich]

Yes, I know, but I didn't want to start a conversation about another company's product here. This thread is about SSR and I wanted to keep it that way. I was going to start another thread about the Jun BL downpipes separately.

The collars on the midpipes are slotted so when you install them there is some adjustment that can be made to position them where they won’t contact the transmission or heat shielding. Best bet is to position the forward connection of the drivers side pipe as far as necessary towards the outside of the car.

Got it. Thanks for the info.

Bingo, exactly what I did.

I pulled the trigger and ordered the SSR mid pipes last Friday. Hopping they ship out soon!

 

[MisterMac]

I still love my SSR downpipes. The first set had a slight issue with the bends on the driver side which caused rubbing on the corner transmission bolt.

SSR sent me new pipes from a subsequent production run. I had them professionally installed ($40.00) and have had zero issues. Yes, mine is AWD.
