This thread leaves a lot of unanswered questions ...

Many dealers can (and should) void warranties for some of the stuff people do to their cars. But mufflers? Nah, not one of them! What they might "void" is any issues that arise from the rest of your exhaust system, but even that's a stretch.

Wow, I sense somone took a financial beating ...

I have nearly 30,000 miles on my car, occasionally experience the disc pad caused brake vibration issue. Never had any loud noises associated with it though. Good call though on your being ready ahead of time. When my brakes need replacing, definitely going aftermarket unless KIA has a fix for...

Backed out of the driveway, heard a sound coming from the chassis. Drove further and the problem intensified. Only occurred when moving. Called a dealer. They were backed up and couldn't look at my car for over a week. They suggested I have it towed in as a precaution. YIKES! Remembered I knew a...

Awesome for snow traction. Never buying a RWD vehicle again.

Great story! For me, I've owned new Mustang GT's for decades. Recently was trading them in for new one's almost every year. But only ever wanting to own one car, driving in snow with them was a white knuckled experience at best (no matter what tire you used). Enter the Stinger GT AWD. It fit my...

KIA recommends 91 across the board. 2022 KIA Stinger Owner's Manual Fuel requirements For the optimal engine perfor- mance, we recommend you use unleaded gasoline which has an octane rating of RON (Research 0ctane Number) 95/AKI (Anti Knock Index) 91 or higher.

Ouch! I'm not against the Type S (competition benefits everyone). But across the net most people are asking why Acura didn't put a little more "oomph" in the Type S.

A lot of nice wheels here, but for me, my car stays 100% bumper-to-bumper bone stock!

Don't worry, you're not being combative. Just that some people don't like hearing the truth. Oh well ...

I'm don't really want an aftermarket exhaust, but if I did, this dedicated KIA Stinger site is certainly the place to look for one.

I noticed that in tests for the Stinger GT AWD, I matched MotorWeek's 13.1 sec quarter, beat C&D's 13.2 sec time, and walloped MT's abysmal 13.6 sec time. I'm game if the last two are in need of a driver. :cool:

Seriously, only a 3.6% loss to the wheels should raise some eyebrows. Should be more like 310-315 whp for a RWD, not 352 hp.

This was Test & Tune, I was literally surrounded by radically modified race cars including an 850 hp 1970 Chevy Nova. As for me, I spent decades at Test & Tunes running mildly modded Fox body 5.0's. I bracket raced a few times (boring), and won my class once (pic below).

Only had time for one run, was very happy with the results. Density Altitude 988 ft, zero mods, base GT, spare in trunk, 1/2 tank of 93 octane, launch control:

I know this is an older post, but after recently experiencing the Stinger GT brake shudder issue, I found that the bedding procedure reduced the issue considerably. And because of traffic I was only able to do the procedure 4-5 times, so I'm guessing had I been able to do a few more the problem...

Stinger GT is plenty faster. C&D's Sti test got them to 60 mph in 5.1 sec and the quarter in 13.6 sec@102 mph. C&D's Stinger GT AWD test ran to 60 mph in 4.6 sec and the quarter in 13.2 sec@108 mph. The Stinger GT RWD was even faster ...
