• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

Pictorial where did you go in your Stinger today

I hear a leg has lost a surfer at one of the local beaches up that way:D.

Went & visited my daughter tonight, not often the Stinger is intimidated by other cars, but she was a little nervous sitting next this beast.

It was a diver that went missing off Bundaberg in November. Doubt they’ll find much of the rest of him given how far down the coast the leg drifted, it’s about 750km

How terrible, Christmas is not a happy time for everyone.So many families end up devastated due to accidents, road toll etc, :(
 
Walked in Murray park again, while my wife communed with her reflexologist. (Last time she'll be doing that for a solid month, so, no more walks in Murray park till then, most likely).

Notice, I am not parked under a tree, yet I have a rightmost end stall.

You live and learn don't you Merlin. I think you would have been safe in any parking bay in that photo.

Nice little meet up yesterday at Liverpool Mega centre outside Krispy creme. We were checking out our various mods. Spoilers, splitters, chips, exhausts etc.

As it turned out of the 6 Stingers we had there were 5 different exhausts. JUN B1, Borla type 2, Jonny Tig, Varex and Ark grip. Quite an opportunity to hear the differences. The JT and Ark are quite cultured, the JUN B1 and Varex had some added rasp and a nice throaty note. But I think the Borla took some beating. Louder deeper and generally more X rated:laugh:.

One of the guys mates was from Kia marketing and wanted to know if we had any concerns or observations about the Stinger. Not short of a word I relayed such issues across such as Sunroof, squeaks ,rattles and my personal favourite the not so great infotainment hub.20191227_162344.webp 20191227_162228.webp 20191227_175710.webp

So which was your favorite exhaust note? Other than your own of course :D

The Borla IMHO was noticeably better than all others. Mine was the Ark. The question I forgot to ask or wasn't listening at the time is how much drone does the Borla have? In a perfect world a short trip in all vehicles would have been beneficial .

Yes, ideally being driven or driving around would really give you the best objective overview. I am however less concerned with drone these days having aftermarket tips and Dynamat and other such materials to deaden that dreaded drone. My worry is always the Civic fart can noise (no offense to any Civic guys:D)

To be honest I've not heard the "Civic fart can noise" coming from the exhausts of any Stingers thus far. Isn't that a four cylinder thing?

Yes mainly but I've heard some downpipe/exhaust combo's that reminded me of that sound. Maybe it's just me but growing up on the poor side of town it was a daily norm, LOL.
