New Owner

[Evinarris]

Hey all, another new owner here.

Been lurking around for a few months and thought id finally make an account.
Bought the car a couple months ago and i'm enjoying every single drive.
I came from a VW Scirocco which i thoroughly enjoyed, however i needed a bigger car for work and after test driving a few cars (s3, 440i, golf r estate and the stinger), i decided to pull the trigger on this car.

The mods I've done so far are predominantly exterior (KIA debadging, front splitter, rear diffuser, rear spats, side skirts and spats), however my X-force exhaust has just arrived today and ill be spending sometime installing that tomorrow. Im pretty excited to hear what this thing sounds like once thats on! The exhaust will settle the tuner itch for a while, but once it sets back in i'm sure a tune, wheels and lowering springs will follow.

This car was meant to be my boring daily while i work on my project car, however this forum's posts and wealth of knowledge kinda messed that all up.. so thanks guys

Gday @Evinarris, welcome to the forum & to the Stinger Owners Fraternity, great choice in colour too, but I am a bit biased...

I've been building and modding cars for a while.. its become an addiction!

Had the day off work and bolted my new XFORCE exhaust onto the car today and took it for a 2 hour drive after... my face hurt from smiling the whole time. Also couldn't believe how restrictive the OEM exhaust was

Isn't your Aus OEM exhaust the equivalent of an aftermarket one? (blanking on the name) You'd really be POed at the US OEM, then. (But up here, we like our luxury rides to be quiet, hah.) (Except those who don't; and they start looking for ways to make their cars "fart proudly".)

Dynomotive are pretty great, ive worked with them before on a previous project car. I believe you get the K&N CAI, Xforce exhaust with that package. Im sure it would sound awesome and perform even better.

Im still undecided on which could air intake, although the Injen setup is looking more and more appealing.
