What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Gargamel]

And today with the latest beta app for jb4 mobile, it connected and i can change maps.
Map 2 enabled and idle around 1k rpm. I guess its supposed to do that
Mucho Wroomo now.

Not super scenic, but took her for a drive to a local bar that was formerly a shooting location for a popular series.

Remind me to never move to a state that requires license plates on the front...

When you have always had them on your cars since you were in diapers, you get used to them. I have smaller custom plates which look far neater than the standard state plates. But I know where you are coming from.

Gee, to think that I complain that the Stinger is rather low and hard to climb out of...

Last monday I had a muffler delete done (with new pipes being 2.5" rather than 2") and I had not done my homework too well and did not know that I would require new tips instantly, therefore I've been driving around with an enormous level of inside the cabin noise (especially low rpm-slow acceleration reverberation as well as 3000+rpm in 2nd/3rd/4th gear).
So today I ordered new tips that I will get welded on to the new Y pipes on both sides on wednesday and also some STP sound deadening materials to sound deaden the whole trunk area + below the rear seats. My understanding is that these two things together should kill the reverberation inside.
We tested how big of an effect the poorly shaped bottom area of the trunk has on the reverberation and it was huge, when things are inside the way it creates the extra noise is crazy compared to when the trunk is completely empty.
But until then, a picture of the beautiful handicraft under the car.
In the long run will make it into a custom system with remote EVC-s and probably some crazy sound when the valves are open!View attachment 45579

Do you have KW coilovers installed? If so, do you like them?

[Shrike]

Put on my tinted taillight overlays.They look good from this distance, but there are quite a few bubbles. Hope they go away on there own.

Left home before sunrise for another drive this morning.

Stopped at a park for a walk..


Then by a lake..

What series??

On netflix..

I have KW lowering springs installed and they are absolutely amazing, exactly the right drop and stiffness. Coilovers would be the next step in terms of adjustability etc but don't need it.

 

[TimT]

Can you do a sound clip when you get the Y-pipes on?

Hey, the Y pipes are on (as on the picture) but they are missing the new tips, but clips as it currently is:

These should work and be unlisted

Poke the center of each bubble with a needle. They'll seal right up in a day or two.

Works around here. But that's because no front plate is not a first offense; cops can tack "no front plate" onto a moving violation, though they seldom do.

I wish we had that law. Front plates are required here, but the Stinger is the first car I've run them on (I got black ones which look less bad) since the bumper was already mutilated by the dealership when they put the front plate bracket on. Cops here tend to leave "nicer" cars alone. I have never run a plate on my Vette and I haven't been harassed. I NEVER see Lambos, Ferraris, McLarens, etc with front plates and I doubt they get messed with either. But given that I take the Stinger on much longer trips into East Bumblefuck, AND my tint is below the legal limit, I want to take away any other option they have to ticket me.

Yeah the Evora is low. Also being an earlier one it has a huge door sill to climb over as well.

Hah I wish I need to order new ones that fit better but these do the job for now of minimizing MBRP exhaust drone.

I have the Akrapovics tips and it was night and day in terms of drone "sounds"

good luck and your cars are looking great !
