So, as some of you already know, I recently installed a K&N intake and my ISG stopped working. This lead me to look into several things, but long story short, I figured out that the pressure of a particular line affects whether ISG engages or not when the brake pedal is depressed. First things...

UPDATE: I figured out what caused ISG to stop working and applied a fix. The good news is: I now know how to disable ISG relatively easily! It also seems K&N was aware of this because I had to use a fitting that was not listed anywhere in the installation instructions but was included in the...

I've now had the K&N Typhoon intake installed for a couple hundred miles, and not all is smooth sailing. It seems that the intake has caused ISG (Idle Stop and Go) to stop working***. While for some of you this is great, I do a lot of driving and this feature actually adds up to being...

So far, it seems to be doing pretty well in the FedEx truck it's still on making it's way from the midwest... [^] I also have some plans on modding it, so I'll post the thread up when the time comes!

Welp, I ran out of patience: I ordered the K&N Typhoon intake kit (and have mods planned) so it won't matter if they even post up the product tomorrow, lol... Those of you who have seen my Magnaflow exhaust review should know what to expect. [biggrin]

This guy gets it [histerical]

I never served in the military, I apologize as I never thought about the letters as Killed In Action until you mentioned it... [sad] Other than THAT, though, a lot of badges are ugly... especially from brands that are focused on economy/budget/value [8]

Maybe someone has posted this somewhere which makes me a repeat, and maybe not, but... I think it's incredibly mean to debadge the "Kia" from the Stinger. They made a good car at good value. It's not perfect, and it's not meant to be. It's meant to be great bang for your buck. They did a...

What is taking so long to post this product up along with pics?! [dunno] Of course, this is a tough win for them: if they take too long, I go K&N Typhoon. If they post an outrageous price, I go K&N Typhoon... lmao

Interesting to know... I rudely skipped to the last page, but voted 1k miles. Oil changes on new cars is such a widely varying and practically opinionated subject, but I'll be switching to Royal Purple which has been my oil of choice for well over a decade. I've also always done my first oil...

I promised pics, and at the end of this is my finalized review: Just some pics of the exhaust "tips" behind the fascia. They're painted with black primer (though one of them is already flaking off a bit), and are quite a bit off center (more on that later): Here are pics of the mufflers and...

See graphs? I don't see any graphs... [8]

Just providing a sort of shout-out update: Props to John over at hottexhaust.com for getting me a replacement muffler for the one damaged in transit. I'll finally be swapping that out and working on pics hopefully by the end of the week. Though, I suspect most of you don't care so much about...

I was going to just get some rattle cans and chrome/aluminum paint the quasi-open box [biggrin] Of course, assuming the price is fair... If they priced it the same as the K&N, they'd probably outsell it, heh

The option I plan on isn't there: just Eibach sway bars on their "hard" setting. I'll keep the ride somewhat firm yet somewhat mushy for passengers [:p]

The real question is who's going to be first to dyno it to corroborate advertised gains for the rest of us? [biggrin]

Same as before: car no longer slams me in my seat, but more pushes me into my seat with a stronger 5k+ RPM pull. As mentioned: at those speeds, the road/wind noise drowns it out entirely (which is why I skipped those speeds). I know I'm slow on getting the pics, but there's a good reason for...

Update - Quick exhaust video posted just below. Used a lavalier mic and mounted on the rear fascia outside the vehicle and then again on the inside against the driver's side headrest. https://youtu.be/u0-5An65wR0

either $5,000 for the whole Drive Wise package plus the LSD and installation :P

I'm just hoping they price it reasonably and don't try to shaft us [rolleyes]
