    Missing double-clutching while down-shifting

    Hello, one feature that I really miss from my previous car (VW Scirocco R) is the automated double-clutching when the car shifts down. It was a feature that it had while driving in Sport mode and it sounded very nice. Esspecially if you mount a nice exhaust system on the Stinger, that...

    Kia Stinger getting an Italian voice!

    Please be fair and keep in mind that Tubi-Style is an italian company and that they are not responsible for current exchange rates. In Germany a Bastuck bi-modal exhaust (cat-back) costs 2.200 EUR (excl. taxes) if you order it with your car from Kia. That also means that you won't be able to...

    There is a very nice remote, which is part of the system.

    Please play this with good speakers to get an authentic impression of what it sounds like! Also keep in mind that only back silencers are installed. Mid silencers and cats/pipes are OEM to pass Homologation. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/3gWGgeelfSc

    Kia Stinger getting an Italian voice!

    Laws in europe are quite strict - to be able to pass homologation they had to re-install the oem middle silencer. Cat replacements (downpipes) were not installed because replacing the cats is illegal in Europe. So in my car there are only the two back silencers installed, which were developed...

    Kia Stinger getting an Italian voice!

    I?ve picked up my car and drove back to Germany last weekend. The exhaust sound is amazing even if Tubi Style had to re-install the oem middle silencer to pass the eu homologation. For everyone who doesn?t need to care about eu laws they have developed a replacement for the middle silencer and...

    Kia Stinger getting an Italian voice!

    First update - development of the exhaust is almost completed: Here you can see the electric valve system: These will be my exhaust tipps (Nikel with titanium coating, double wall with insulating fiber inside, black). They were designed and developed based on my individual preferences...

    They won?t develop an exhaust for the V4. I?m sorry.

    Kia Stinger getting an Italian voice!

    Guys, please let?s get back to topic - we are talking about a premium product, done by the Ferrari series supplier. I think for many people the quality, sound and sophisticated control unit will be worth the money. It?s a product playing in the top league of exhaust systems and anyhow it will be...

    Kia Stinger getting an Italian voice!

    Dear Stinger Fans, end of March the waiting time was over and I could pick up my brand new Kia Stinger 3.3 European full trim in Germany. I've ordered back in late 2017 and it was a long waiting time. The Stinger replaced a VW Scirocco R. During waiting time I got in touch with the CEO of...

    20x10.5 - 285/30-20 Test Fit... THEY'RE IN THERE!!

    That was the first thing that came to my mind as well when I saw the photos. It definitely needs some springs. Question to BestWheelDeals: Would that exact setup work with a lower car (like Eibach ProKit) too?

    Who would purchase the bi-modal exhaust if it was available in North America?

    No you got it right. It?s car speed based. Has to do with the german regulations. It?s like that because that?s the only way to run it legally here and that exhaust system development was focussed on the german market. In Germany a car is not allowed to be louder as stock at low speeds. So...

    Who would purchase the bi-modal exhaust if it was available in North America?

    Yes, exactly. So it also doesn?t harm the warranty. I will get my Stinger with this exhaust system in 3-4 weeks.

    Who would purchase the bi-modal exhaust if it was available in North America?

    The australien bi-modal exhaust is not the only one available worldwide. In Germany Kia also offers a bi-modal exhaust as an official option for the Stinger. Here it?s speed controlled. Valves open at 70km/h. You get a new button next to the steering wheel. With that button you can just close...

    Kia Stinger Interior LED Door Handle Plate

    Would be good to know for all Stinger owners who don?t get the Ambient light (everyone from Europe for example) if the wires are there anyway. If they are not then there is probably nothing to connect with.

    Would you purchase a Kia Stinger Coupe?

    For me one of the big pros of the stinger is, that it looks very sporty and coupe-like considering that it?s a four door sedan. Compared to an A5 Sportback for example (which also is a hatchback), the Stinger looks much more dynamic and much more like a coupe. So it?s basically a car that...
