    XForce Catback with Varex Mufflers

    What kit does it come with the open/close the valves? Don't see any description on wires in the picture or the Xforce site.

    The joys of a heated steering wheel on a ?? winter day!

    The single most important feature in any car for my wife...heated steering wheel. I'll admit - once you have one, would be hard to go back.

    Any good recommends on a good floor jack for the Stinger?

    I don't use a jack often, but when needed my little aluminum race jack for Harbor Freight does the job. Hear their new Daytona line is really good. Agree with nhcowboy about getting the proper adapters so the jacking points are not damaged.

    Exhaust Thread

    I had a loaner car (BMW X3 340i Msport) the other day with some kind of crazy sport exhaust as a factory option. At startup, when standing next to it, it was awesome. Literally asked the service guy what car that was because it sounded out of place at a dealership that wasn't selling Dodges...

    Kia sold 1,173 Stingers in November

    Step up to a k900. That is exclusive. Stinger is rare, great car. I've only seen 2 stingers in the wild by me. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Official Thunder Grey & Panthera Metal Kia Stinger Pictures Thread

    Why is this not available in the states - or is it? Is there a difference between thunder grey and panthera metal? Just like is there a difference between ghost grey and ceramic silver? Looking the Canadian vs. US sites, they sure look the same. I can see Kia using different names for color...

    Drop-in VS. Air intake System

    Other than K&N drop in filters, what other performance drop in options are out there? I prefer non-oiled, but AFE doesn't make any for 3.3 engine (Kia/Genesis/Hyundai)

    My Kia Stinger detailing method, what's yours?

    For everyday washes, nothing wrong with meguairs gold class. Can get it at any auto part store, Walmart or Target . Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    My Kia Stinger detailing method, what's yours?

    You shouldn't need to use 'Clean Slate' or any other stripping shampoo for every wash. It will take all the wax on the car off. Once you get the car to a condition that looks good to you, wash with a good car soap, your drying method is spot on, and apply more wax or the spray sealant, no need...

    Best Dealer - North Chicago Suburbs

    Thinking exhaust 2nd cat delete, wheels, drop in filters and jb4. Can easily take jb4 out for service. Any 3xperience with how they are handling the potential paint issues? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Best Dealer - North Chicago Suburbs

    Classic and Gary Lang seem to have the best reviews. How has Classic's service department been with your modified Stinger?

    What Tune are you using on your Kia Stinger?

    That sounds like other modifications wer done to the car (likely catless downpipes). I have a jb4 on my BMW, with no changes to the exhaust system. No check engine lights and can pass Illinois emissions when the system is off. I'm really happy with jb4, would likely add one to a Stinger when...

    Can't get enough in Clarksville TN

    Great service from Murlinator and thank you for the service to our country. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    MurlinatoR - to bad you are not closer. Like I said, buying is the easy part. After sale support, maintenance and not dealing with arguments over what is warranty vs. what isn't is the tough part.

    Best Dealer - North Chicago Suburbs

    Hey All, I'm pretty sold on the Stinger, but a big concern are the dealers. Any dealer can sell a car, but where is the best service department and any experience with warranty voiding issues? Closest dealer to me is Liberty Kia in Libertyville, IL, but willing to go a little out of my way...

    What Did You Do With Your Stinger Today?

    Why did you choose not to install the intake scoops that I've seen with the JT intakes? They look really good in black and appear to be provide the same protection as the factory intakes with better flow.

    Fully loaded 2019 Kia Stinger vs 2019 Genesis G70, can't believe they are so close in pricing

    The engine bay appears to be identical. Obviously the exhausts will be different. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Kia Stinger may not get a second generation

    I hope it continues. The local dealer by me in the North Chicago suburbs has at least 3 fully loaded GT2's available for a big discount (including a black with red interior...tempting, very tempting)

    Fully loaded 2019 Kia Stinger vs 2019 Genesis G70, can't believe they are so close in pricing

    Same dilemma here. Kia is a little bigger, G70 is same size as my 3 series. I think the big hurdle that will hurt Kia here is the ownership experience. The G70 is all valet service and it comes with 5 years maintenance included. All the go fast goodies for the Stinger will fit the G70 (even...
