    What Did You Do With Your Stinger Today?

    Another member had this issue and the fuel level has to be replaced. There are wires that can block the float from going lower than 1/2 a tank. He ran out of gas and thought there was something wrong with his car, put gas in it and it started right up. Dealer replaced the float in the tank and...

    What Did You Do With Your Stinger Today?

    We just got 10" of heavy wet snow. I got my AWD Stinger majorly stuck, and then scratched the side skirt shoveling it out. Time for a winter rat.

    FS LAP3 Uncle Chip FS

    Selling for $250, works great. Tabs are broken on the connectors but they stay in place or you can cable tie them. Great for easy power, does require better plugs or factory plugs gapped to .28 and catch cans are recommended.

    Lap 3 3.3T downpipes

    I currently run a Lap 3 and have SSR downpipes with 2nd cat deletes and Ark Grip exhaust along with K&N intakes and I have not once run into an issue with limp mode or over boost. Just leave the primary cats on and avoid all the headaches with codes and over boost. Car did gain power with down...

    Auger Style exhaust silencer inserts

    I will only be able to go by my butt dyno but I'll let you know how it works. Perhaps having one or two coils could dial back the sound without creating as much obstruction. Will be an interesting experiment.

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    It sounds very impressive, and maybe when I've owned the car for a few years and feel like pushing it further and have money to burn on parts I might break I'd go this route. Having more options is better than having less for sure and I think I speak for everyone when I say keep up the good...

    Auger Style exhaust silencer inserts

    From what I've been reading even though it does effect airflow the back pressure it creates is minimal. I have a welder friend who has access to 304 stainless tubing and sheet steel so we are going to make or own that matches the material of the exhaust. I'll be making sure I have a way to...

    Auger Style exhaust silencer inserts

    While I love the sound of my Ark Grip Exhaust the drone on the highway is a little much. I've sound deadened my trunk as far as I can go with it. I found some 3" auger style exhaust silencers that would fit in the straight runs from the axle back break point so very easy to install and pretty...

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    Not to mention the difficulty of hooking up the LAP3. There are way more wires running all over the place from what I could see in the images. I have not seen one actually installed but it has to be much more difficult than the JB4. I also agree on the price, at $1200 you are in actual ECU...

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    The JB4 has optional fuel wires that can control the AFR which helps to gain a lot of power on the top end. It also has bluetooth so you can change the tune or disable it on the fly using your phone. It has a lot more intelligence built in and has an ODBII hookup so it can monitor and keep the...

    The Piggyback Chip feedback, reviews, issues, diagnostic and questions thread

    I have been running the LAP3 on 93 setting with the HKS M45il plugs for a couple thousand miles now without any issues other than wheel grip. I have an AWD GT2 Stinger and when the roads are wet I can spin all 4 tires in comfort mode. In sport mode you need to have your sh!t together, it will...

    Velossa Tech BIG MOUTH Ram Air Inlets

    Did you notice any improvements on the top end? They don't have any dyno numbers but I guess it would be hard to test something like this with a car that isn't moving. Any different in sound from the BOV's since you basically have a nice horn for the sound to play through? I'll probably get...

    Kia Stinger may not get a second generation

    If any of this were true the K900 and the Cadenza would have gotten axed a long time ago. Look at their numbers vs the Stinger and they have been on the market for a while now. The article is bogus.

    Grinding sound with turning, 3.3 GT

    I wonder if it could be the tires making this noise. I have a GT2 AWD and have not had any issues with noise that I've noticed. I you could get the car on a lift and put a jack under the tire to keep it at operating height and try turning it to see if the tire actually rubs something that seems...

    GPS Tracker in the Car and how to remove?

    You guys realize this car has GPS navigation and the only way that will works is if there is a GPS tracker in the car right? You probably can't remove it without voiding a major warranty. Do you leave GPS turned on on your phone? Everyone is tracking us all the time, it's the world we live in. I...
