I was cruising around and found these new goodies from CX Racing.... two new intercoolers...we all know Mr.HP lives inside the intercooler....don't know a thing about the company ,but they give you a choice on the piping and cores.... what say yall? Products by Car Hyundai Kia Stinger 3.3TT ...........Wash
 
More options is always better. The cheaper setup that will be invisible from an under hood view will be a good option for us who desire to not garner attention from service advisors during warranty work.

I read a post about this setup... Minor fitment issues but none that were life changing.

And yes, agreed on the HP logic. With a protune, IC and a lead foot you can get places faster.

Agency power should be coming out with one soon that will also be powdercoated black to be a little more invisible. I think Nick said they will run around $850.
 
I’m pretty sure I read that this company doesn’t have the best track record for quality products. Not sure if that was said on this forum or elsewhere.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
You couldn't pay me to put anything CX racing anywhere near my cars.
 
I have the same issue with Agency Power...

Really? Please share.
To be fair, it was many years ago and involved my 2003 Evo 8. I don't even remember exactly what part it was - BOV, DV, something. I think they were just coming into being. I wouldn't NOT buy, but I'd make sure there were a lot of good+ reviews of the exact part in my exact configuration on my exact car. Of course, that should be said for any aftermarket part.

Yes I remember this back in the day; AP was not tried and tested so I wouldn't buy.

I had an 03 Evo 8. Great minds think a like! In my top cars list probably behind the stinger and my 87 Mr2 SC.
 
Honestly i would pay a little extra for the Ultimate performance intercooler

Lol nice man it’s looks beautiful.... I don’t know if it makes any difference performance wise but it sure does look good lol ... I did feel like my car pulled harder in the top end with the ic thou maybe just mental lol ... yeah when I seen the cold side ic piping I was like I want that lol ... I think I will end up powder coating my ic pipes Black this summer thou ...

How long should it take to install the UP FMIC?
Hour if you are good. Maybe an hour and a half if you haven't pulled the front end off before.

I will do it in 1 hour and 20 minutes now but I have done it 4 times .... your first time you will take 3-4 hours ... you have to cut a silicone hose to a proper size and so forward there some little things ... if you watch my video lol it should take you no more than 2 hours ... took me 3-4 hours the first time but I never pulled the front end off I really took my time

But honestly if you watch my video ... and then tackle it you will be fine it’s an easy job ... it’s not hard ... can be done with simple tools ... all you need is a ratchet and some extensions ... 10mm, 12mm and flat head ... that’s all .... and a jack ...

CX cores are garbage. I have the ultimate performance and I'm very happy with it. IMO the best out there is Johnny Tig but i don't want to cut my car to install it.

Talking about EVO's. The intercooler fits perfectly on ours. We're looking in to installing an ETS 3.5.
