Great day everyone,

I have a 2019 Stinger GTS i have owned it since October of 2019, it took me a few months to find the GTS but my local dealer had one an I grabbed it as fast as I could! My current Mods are K&N drop in filters with a deck plate mod on the factory air boxes for more flow, Primary&Secondary Cat deletes, with the inlet/outlet of the primary cats ported to 1.75in over the stock 1.5 in inlet, HKSM40 spark plugs, Tork Motorsports Stage 1 flash tune, and dual catch can set up!

My Velossa ram air inlets and sub-frame connectors are in the mail as we speak. Im also looking to by the add the shark racing big bore throttle body and light weight under drive aluminum pully but cant find any dyno numbers for either so I may wait! Also Id like to get a progressive water meth tune in which I will not have to re-retune my Stinger some thing that can be set bases on RPM I guess like the snow performance kit thats offered from Tork Motorsports.

All in all im happy to be apart of the team!

V/r,

SS

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us! What did the Stinger replace for you?

From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
That last pic makes me drool a little bit. :P You've apparently been having a lot of fun. Glad you found your way over here. :thumbup:

Lol yes just a little fun!! And thank you!
 
Welcome to the group! What is the deck plate mod? I might not be using the right search terms but I haven't found info on it yet. I also have a GTS and am on the fence about the carbon fiber fuel door. Do you have any straight on profile pictures of the car on the fuel door side?

Great day and thanks so much. So the deck plate mod search this on Amazon (SEFLO 4-8) since we cant put links in this forum is just cutting a hole in the bottom of your factory air box, you can find the kits on Amazon I used two 4in circle plates (you will not be able to go any bigger then this due to the shape of the air box) and you cant see them until you take the K&N filters out I notices an increase in throttle response and the intakes have a nice grunt to them lol! I felt confident doing this do to the positive response I got from doing this mod on my 97 4runner and my pops 05 GMC SUV.

Now for the fuel door thats just carbon fiber film I wanted to see how it looked prior to dishing out money for the actual fuel door since I had additional film left over from doing the rear side reflectors.
 
Very interesting. Thank you! When you say grunt, do you mean torque or sound?

When I say grunt I mean sound lol, and the butt dyno feels some added power! Sadly I didnt get any numbers prior to my Stage 1 tune and cat deletes but im sure if put a gain or two in there somewhere! I love the fact that you can hear them but cant see them just like with the cat deletes it looks like a normal exhaust until you cold start and get on the throttle! then its all smiles!!
 
Thank you. Sounds like a dealership friendlier alternative to the formal CAI systems out there.

100%, I want power but I also want that factory look!

Looks great. What powder did you find to match the Fed Orange?
I coated my struts wrinkle black. I couldn’t find a RAL equivalent based on our color code.

Thanks, and nice wrinkly black is a mean color, your going to laugh but I had some bright orange paint left over from when I shoot out doors. I just decided to try the color an it came out pretty good!

Hey Super Stinger,

Welcome to the pack! Sounds like you already have a pretty epic set up planned for your GTS and I cant wait to see it come together in the future. The Federal Orange is a fantastic color and looks so good in person it is unreal. If you ever need to grab some additional parts feel free to reach out any time and I would be glad to hook you up with a discount. We have a huge library of Kia Stinger specific modifications at www.K8StingerStore.com but if you ever come across something you need and we don't have it listed just let me know in a message and I will see what we can do for you.

Hope you have a great 4th and a nice drive this weekend,
Daniel
