Another quality vid with good content. I always appreciate your efforts in presenting good information. Guess I have to add the VT snorkels to my shopping list now. 😀 Keep it up brother! The more mods you add the more I add!
Great content! Those stock inlets that face up have been measured to be very restrictive. Removing them drops the intake vacuum from 9 to 4 inches as tested by a Stinger forum member using a mano meter. There was also testing by another member that showed great gains in the 1/4 mile by removing those and adding the VT snorkels with the stock air boxes. The question I have is which one makes the most difference. Anyways. I'm enjoying your channel! The VTs and Injens look awesome!
I believe it! That’s awesome, I can definitely tell a difference when dropping down to 3 gear and doing a pull, esp right now since it’s colder out here.
Learning a lot as a new creator, I understand that audio quality is VERY important. With that said, I am going to invest in some wireless lav mics. I will need them when I start making content with Zo, the M3 competition. We are going to race, do digs, rolls, track days, and swap cars for a day. Subscribe for more 👊
Looking forward to meeting up with you one day soon! I actually just moved from Indy a little over a year ago, so to see your shots in the city, especially over off my old exit at 56th/Shadeland was cool! I’m new to the Stinger community, but I feel like mines is pretty badass already! Looking forward to some of these mods though!
your video helped with install. I ran the wire through the firewall, so its right next to my brake snip switch. love the kit though, hope the LED's last .
Sub earned looking at picking one up soon as a daily till I save up for a c7 zo6 or a trx and looking at the modding community by far your one of the best content quality wise.
The headlights can be hard to video , they always show up a little different. But I agree, I want to change them up with some brighter LEDs close to a pure white
You really should have done the MM intercooler since you were already in there. Anyways, I’ve been up and down about the snorkels for a few short months now. Seeing how they look along with how well they function, I’m now seriously considering them. Being that I am in central Florida I am for sure going to go with them as well as the MM intercooler as well.
Just installed mine last week, did you ever figure anything out or downsides of the package they give you for the kit?(dead battery video didn’t give me warm and fuzzies) I’m looking at a custom lighting shop to do headlight work and underglow. Was thinking of having them integrate the Lit Kit into that circuit. Love your content man, if there is a go to for Stinger vids, it’s you!! Keep pumping them out!
Yes and yes, so I narrowed down what happened and I think it has to do with the app. If you leave the lit kit connected and disconnect the negative battery terminal to work on your car, it will auto turn on when you put the negative battery terminal back on and then the app will not shut the kit off until you manually unplug the lit kit under the hood. I’ve had a couple other people message me the same thing so I’m pretty sure that was it. I want to tap my power into the fuse box, I think that would eliminate it. If not it’s an app issue
@@twn2rbo Thanks for the info, definitely some weirdness with the app. Just wasn’t sure how much I trusted the grounding points, I’ll be tapping into the fuse box in the future for sure. Thanks for the reply broski!
@@twn2rbo hi I’m a little late to the party, but I was wondering if you ran an actual dual in line fuse instead of adding to the post of the starter on the car? I just installed the light kit on my scoops today and when I first hooked it up the lights would actually stay on and then I disconnected the battery and reconnected it, connected to the lights with the app and then clicked shut off in the app and then when I turned the car off, the lights were not on all the time anymore. I still use the switch to shut the circuit down, but I was wondering if I left the switch on and the LEDs were not on if there were stall a draw on the battery because it was hooked up to the starter post? I hope that makes sense. 😂 Thank you.
Your page is incredible man, great info. Thanks for sharing. Just picked up a 2023 gt2 awd, excited to see where i can take it. I'll be referencing your videos a lot 😅
Went by the old dealership I used to work at it seems they made the 2022 recent models actually a little bit shorter. The body frame looks identical to the K5 other than the actual outer body pieces
Hey mate how are you, Love these and intend fitting some to my 22 GT. One question now you've had time to test in real world conditions: Water? Do the filter elements get wet from driving in rain, or say going through car wash. What checks are you doing routinely on the filter condition? Cheers from Straya, Ray
Excellent Video! I have just recently bought a Stinger GT and I love it! been watching a heap of your videos thank you for your commitment to your channel. I do have a question about the Lights... Would it be possible to wire them up to the headlights so that they turn on when the headlights turn on? Thanks again for your content!
No tune needed on the intakes, but after I added a cat back with the intake, I did. It would go into limp mode all the time. The JB4 fixed that. Intakes only, no issues
At 6:05 in this video, you mention you like the concept of the "glow" and that it's not too bright... Does this mean that the non-glow or other colored scoop bodies that are available are brighter than the glow LEDs??
Good question, no the other ones will not glow on their own naturally like mine. They are just hard colored plastic but once you turn the lit kit on, they will be just as bright as mine. Mine are an off white glow plastic that charge with light which doesn’t drawl as much attention as a solid white air duct would. Tbh I don’t turn them on that often, I got them to lower the intake temps and cool off the engine bay. But when parked or showing people they love them. Sometimes I roll with the white LEDs turned on to match the DRLs
Regular. I ended up doing an update in a vid not long after and I was having an issue with the LEDs, it drained my batter over night and the app sucks, well it did at the time at least. Diode Dynamics is the software. They may have updated it since, but I never turns them on really bc it’s easy to forget you leave them on etc. I would do regular if I did it all over again, same performance just aesthetics change
Nope, I’ve made some IG posts and I know I put a clip in one of my RUclips videos pulling over after heavy rain on interstate and cones have been dry every time. The only time people have issues with the cones getting wet is with heat extracting hoods. Injen makes hydro covers that hep with that, but totally separate issue
im just surprised by how many people got this and haven't had any sort of water ingestion. Like its an amazing product and concept because its are right to the box and filter, but at the same time the factory system seems like it keeps water and FOD out?
@@twn2rbo that's quite interesting, they were probably dry because of the gap still between the intake snorkels and the cone filter, if it was connected to the factory box still, it probably would have soaked a panel filter?
@@twn2rbo true yeah, i got a buddy in FL that has a GT Line 2.5T with the snorkelers and im heavily wanting them, but living semi-rural its hard to find a good shop to help.
@@MrPl0xygen I have a step by step install video if that helps, I also have a 4 min video on how to remove the bumper, good luck! I hope you find success with it
@@twn2rbo sent you a video on IG.. installed a AEM cold air intake system in the 2022 Kia stinger GT line. Kept the main hose, installed filter, modified cone!!!! The ppffff!!! Of the intake and turbo sounds awesome. Thanks for videos made me want to modify my whip
So many lol, I quit turning them on bc I had issues with them. One time it drained my battery with only 10k miles on it.. I would get the not lit ones if I did it all over again
I’ve considered it, I want to fit the dyno next to see where we stand. I’m also looking at CPI mod. Intercooler will need to be one of the next performance mods, it’s winter now so I can get away with it, but come spring

Excellent review/video! However for me, not feeling the lit part of the kit. As you said I'll just take the functionality! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, I'll use this video for my G70, it should be similar.🙂

Very nice looking stinger and perfect mods 👍.
Any future heat shields going to be installed for the air filters?
Yes - I would like to grab some carbon fiber ones but I’m checking into options
I like it, I would just install different LED headlights to match the new lights you put in.
The headlights can be hard to video , they always show up a little different. But I agree, I want to change them up with some brighter LEDs close to a pure white
@@twn2rbo nice 👍 I'll be here for it 🤘
Nice! Just wish I had a personal mechanic like Papa!
Hahaha facts! I’m on my own here but it gets me out of the office so

100% agree. I’m holding off on it for a couple months while the weather is really cold here right now. FMIC is a must with the mods I have.
Awesome how to video! I just recently bought a 2019 kia stinger as my daily and will def be doing these modz! much appreciated!!! :)

Love the informative vids!
Thanks bro! Yeah that was a nightmare man, the audio was destroyed on the primer lol , I had to reupload it. Learning as I go 😆
Went by the old dealership I used to work at it seems they made the 2022 recent models actually a little bit shorter. The body frame looks identical to the K5 other than the actual outer body pieces
I have the AWD too but I swear I get sideways too easy when it rains lol
Have you noticed any overheating issues since you removed the shroud that directs air into the radiator?
I'm wondering about this as well. That's not a required step of the install, right? Can we leave it in and still use the snorkel(s)?
Looks amazing
Wow ❤🔥🔥🔥 that’s is so siiick
Hey mate how are you,
Love these and intend fitting some to my 22 GT. One question now you've had time to test in real world conditions: Water? Do the filter elements get wet from driving in rain, or say going through car wash.

Cheers from Straya,
Ray
Great question and I’ve tested that throughly, no water has made it on the cones so no worries
Amazing Stuff
My dude thanks for the detailed video. How did you unclip those wire harnesses at around 13:20 when taking shroud out?
NP bro, just grab some needle nose pliers and squeeze/pull
Excellent Video! I have just recently bought a Stinger GT and I love it! been watching a heap of your videos thank you for your commitment to your channel. I do have a question about the Lights... Would it be possible to wire them up to the headlights so that they turn on when the headlights turn on?
Thanks again for your content!
You have happen to know the part number to the part where you removed the rubber seal to use on the new kit?
I do not sorry. Check with Velossa Tech
Well done 👌.
. It's time to change those tiny charge pipes. Bump it up to 3" And let some air flow through
I know this was a year ago, but do you remember having to tune the stinger after installing the intakes?
No tune needed on the intakes, but after I added a cat back with the intake, I did. It would go into limp mode all the time. The JB4 fixed that. Intakes only, no issues

Nice video for sure. . About how long did it actually take to do the install?
Real time it took about an hour my first go. Now I can get it done in about 30 mins not rushing
I'm thinking of getting the regular ram air or lit kit. Which one do you recommend and why?
Regular. I ended up doing an update in a vid not long after and I was having an issue with the LEDs, it drained my batter over night and the app sucks, well it did at the time at least. Diode Dynamics is the software. They may have updated it since, but I never turns them on really bc it’s easy to forget you leave them on etc. I would do regular if I did it all over again, same performance just aesthetics change
@@twn2rbo thanks. I'll prob get the regular for simplicity of install
@@superflunker87 good choice, have you picked out an intake yet? These snorkels with the AFe / Takeda intakes are 100% the best option.
@@superflunker87 you can see them here ruclips.net/video/-Yjd2y1nMfo/видео.html
She's finna Bust!!!! 🤣
😆
Where did you get the grills
Grills are oem , I just masked them off and hyper dip them matte black
So did there end up being any difference in IATs?
Yes
Any problems with heavy rain?
Nope, I’ve made some IG posts and I know I put a clip in one of my RUclips videos pulling over after heavy rain on interstate and cones have been dry every time.

That’s a valid concern, I actually made a video shortly after doing a before after driving through a bad rain storm, cones were completely dry though
@@twn2rbo that's quite interesting, they were probably dry because of the gap still between the intake snorkels and the cone filter, if it was connected to the factory box still, it probably would have soaked a panel filter?
@@MrPl0xygen you would think but I know ppl that have dropped a k&n oem style filter in with the snorkels and have no issues after driving in the rain
@@twn2rbo true yeah, i got a buddy in FL that has a GT Line 2.5T with the snorkelers and im heavily wanting them, but living semi-rural its hard to find a good shop to help.

Are these fine to drive in the rain ?
Yep! I checked them after driving in the rain several times and the cones stay dry
Does anyone know where I can find a cold air intake filter for my 2022 Stinger GT line 2.5L turbo
I order most stuff from K8stinger Store and KMTuned - I’ve seen some 2.5 stuff there but not sure on the intakes
@@twn2rbo thank you!!! Appreciate you
@@Etwize83 no problem, They have some Black Friday and cyber Monday sales right now too

@@Etwize83 nice bro!! 👊👊
What year car is this? My 2022 looks slightly different than yours
Mine is a 2021, I purchased it 2 months before they announced a refresh was coming
I hit the Velossa link and only shows 6% off; no 15% discount code
Hanks for letting me know, I will ask them and update the description accordingly if they changed it. This was a few months ago
Nice accent.
How many times have you forgotten to turn them off… hahah kinda annoying to have to remember to turn them off every time.
So many lol, I quit turning them on bc I had issues with them. One time it drained my battery with only 10k miles on it.. I would get the not lit ones if I did it all over again
Will you be adding a water meth injection in the future?
I’ve considered it, I want to fit the dyno next to see where we stand. I’m also looking at CPI mod. Intercooler will need to be one of the next performance mods, it’s winter now so I can get away with it, but come spring
Whats next street glo? lol
