Kia Stinger - Australia discussions (pre-release)

[AV8R]

but when does a v6 ever sound like a v8? i'd love it if this could happen but i'm not holding my breath. i'm sure these aftermarket exhausts will help the car sound more aggressive like it should. but it's not going to sound like a mustang gt.

I have heard a stinger on youtube with after market exhaust that did growl like a v8 though.

Looks greaaaaaaaat! My one that’s coming is same colour, the ocean sets it off nice. Have you modded it as I see a lower door strip?

Hi fellow owners,

The 2 Harman Kardon systems sub-woofers under the front seats of my GT don't seem to be doing much if anything? Even when playing hard rock music at high volume with bass equalizer settings increased I cant feel any vibration putting my hand on the sub-woofers while the door speaker are clearly working/vibrating.

The overall system sounds OK but not as punchy as I expected given the spec so I'm thinking I may just have an issue with my subs?

Before I take it back to the dealership to query can anyone else confirm if they can or can not clearly feel their sub-woofers pumping out sound?

Thanks,

Hi, can you let us know more about which exhaust you fit. I find the Kia bimodal one is a bit pricey.

Hi AV8R. We build our own exhaust system which will be available very shortly. Its a front cat back system which is as much as the oem ecu will permit without clipping the torque tables with a soft cut. We raced it with the soft cut rearing its head and put down a lazy 12.3@114mph. Cost of the cat back in dual 3" will be around $1800. Have a look on my FB page Jonny Tig Industries if you would like to see the development so far

Hi,

Question for all you stinger GT owners. Does the GT come with footwell lights as standatd or are they dealer fit. I have seen some say they come standard ?. Reason I ask as footwell lights was included as part of my deal .... as i was told they were $320 dealer fit acessory (as per the accessory list posted on this thread a while ago). But maybe thats not the case...

Regards,
Paul

It was a demo car, and the dealer had the sticker custom made. It matches the vents pretty much exactly. I thought it looked pretty sweet. I'll find who did it and get back to you.

I had read some where that they are deactivated for transport. Maybe get the technicians to check the car.

Hi Paul, footwell lights are standard on the GT, I thought they were add on but mine came with them.
