Mate! what a great informative vid, just in the process of getting myself a Stinger and seeing what upgrades people are doing, and stumbled on your channel. Thanks again!
They are some cable management sleeves I found on Amazon - amzn.to/44VFVzI Make sure you get the ones that are slit down the middle so you can wrap it around the hoses. The non-slit kind are really hard to get the hoses thru.
can you elaborate How others have connected them so they turn on/off with the car? Second could you explain a little more how you secured wiring, esp the bluetooth control box? Thanks, excellent video by the way
To get the lights to turn on/off with the car you would need to put them in a different fuse spot in that box. I’m not exactly sure which one as I only researched plugging them in the way I did in the video so they could be used with the car off. I just secured the cables up under the edge of the engine bay with zip ties and in some areas a little high bond tape.
Great video! Easy to follow. I was curious why you chose to take the Shroud out completely and not just cut a little spot for the snorkels? Is that shroud just a waste of space? Or did you feel the benefit of the factory shroud was not worth the hassle?
Thank you! Most people I watched and read instructions from just removed the shroud all together as it doesn’t seem to hinder performance with it gone, so I went ahead and did that too. Plus if you end up damaging the shroud you can’t go back to stock if there is a need.
@@donnaramirez696 I keep trying to reply to you but my message keeps going away. I tried to share the link with the pictures I used as a reference but long story short, I felt the same about the shroud so I used a dremel to cut holes in the shroud so they slipped in.
Driven with them in heavy rain 3 times now, filters were dry every time. The snorkels curve up inside in a way that makes it so any water that would get past the grill and to the snorkel would just drip down out of the front of the snorkel. You would have to drive into a pond for these things to suck up enough water to get your filters wet.
I believe it will work. The mounting points should all still be there for the GT-Lines, the only thing is one snorkel will just be supplying air to nothing since it has the single turbo.
Everything I have done so far has kept my warranty intact as confirmed by my Kia Dealer. However once you start modifying things like exhaust and bigger engine components that’s when dealerships start to look at you funny and talk about voiding.
Nice vid. Did you have to change any of the ECU settings with the installation of the cold air intake and new duct work? I was warned that with the installation, the ECU should be upgraded since airflow is being increased. Thoughts?
Nope never had to adjust ECU at all, most newer cars the ECU will automatically adjust to compensate for the new amount of airflow unless it’s just a crazy amount the engine can’t handle.
What’s up bro, just installed these. Do you leave the switch to the actual wires on and just turn off the lights through your phone when you’re not using them. Or do you flip the switch completely to save the battery. Will it affect my battery if I don’t flip it every time?
The fuse tap just allows you to plug it in to the fuse box, now which fuse spot you plug it in to is what matters when powering them on/off. The fuse spot I plugged them in to supports power even when the car is off so I can use the lights when I’m parked at a car show.
It’s the Q1 Tech one for Stingers from Amazon but unfortunately it seems to be out of stock. amzn.to/3NC1m0Z just keep an eye out for when they re-stock.
Has to be done manually in the app if it’s connected the way I did it. I’ve seen people do it another way that shuts off with the car but then you can’t turn them on when you’re parked somewhere.
@@KDMCurt can you elaborate How others have connected them so they turn on/off with the car? Second could you explain a little more how you secured wiring, esp the bluetooth control box? Thanks, excellent video by the way
They have a kit for the GT-Line that is just a single scoop, not sure you would be able to mount these the same since they are made for the twin-turbo models.
Thank you! Looks bad ass though! I should of got the gt1 but they were marking it up too high and they wouldn't budge. All good though, I'll probably just get an underglow kit lol
@@ianolsen6389 well you might still be able to mount them, I’m just not 100% sure and I don’t want to tell you yes and then you end up wasting your money.
Out of all the video showing how to do this, this one the best.
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Very precise, love your videos because these upgrades are what I’m going to do to my stinger this winter
Awesome, thanks for the support!
Mate! what a great informative vid, just in the process of getting myself a Stinger and seeing what upgrades people are doing, and stumbled on your channel. Thanks again!
Glad my videos could help, if you have any questions about any of the installs feel free to ask.
Great video, I wanted to ask where you get the red braided hoses from?
They are some cable management sleeves I found on Amazon - amzn.to/44VFVzI
Make sure you get the ones that are slit down the middle so you can wrap it around the hoses. The non-slit kind are really hard to get the hoses thru.
@@KDMCurt appreciate the info
Nice bro! Good advice on hooking them up before install to make sure they are working first 👊
Thanks man! Yeah no worse feeling than having your car taken apart and realizing what you were going to install doesn’t work 😅
@@KDMCurt it’s happened to us all! 😂 Great vids bTW, keep up the good work 👊
@@KDMCurt Just ordered mine for my 2022 like 5 minutes ago lol. I still gotta make a new youtube so I can dedicate it to Stinger content
Great video. After installing the snorkels did you notice a change in induction sound?

@@KDMCurt Thanks for the quick reply. I can’t decide how I want to do it. Maybe I’ll decide once the bumper is off 😆
Nice video. I love that front stinger plate sign
Thanks, got it from eBay!
Great installation really detailed ! Cool Job
Where'd you order the braided hose line from? Also what size?
amzn.to/401avso - I believe I used 3/8in and 1/4in for the different size hoses.
This is a great instal video. Used it to put mine in. I did keep the shroud though 😬.
Very nice, glad I could help you out!
To C Mack, how did you keep the shroud, can you elaborate? Seems shroud is there for a purpose.

Hey bro which model of the stinger have the head lights that you have?
These are the GT1 package headlights.
Great video, looking to do the same to my Stinger. Could you tell me where did you get the front bumper lip spoiler?
Amazon, I have a video for it on here as well and theirs a link in the description of that video for it.
In heavy rain and at speed wouldn't water get sucked in?
I never had any issues, they seem to be angled enough so that water doesn't get up into them.
Great videos Curt!
Thank you!!
How do they handle rain? The reason for the stock location was to avoid elements like rain getting to the air filters.
Driven with them in heavy rain 3 times now, filters were dry every time. The snorkels curve up inside in a way that makes it so any water that would get past the grill and to the snorkel would just drip down out of the front of the snorkel. You would have to drive into a pond for these things to suck up enough water to get your filters wet.
Should I turn the switch off when my vehicle isn’t ruining even if I turned it off with the app? I’m worried about my car battery dying.
If you’ve turned them off with the app you should be perfectly fine. They use barely any energy at all.
What is all that red hose/shield stuff in the engine called and for ?
Wonderful love it now the big question is this only for the GT2 trims? Can this be done on the GTLine trims as well ??
I believe it will work. The mounting points should all still be there for the GT-Lines, the only thing is one snorkel will just be supplying air to nothing since it has the single turbo.
Thanks for the video. So this kit should fit the gt line model.
Want to start modding my 2018 gt1 but scared of voiding any warranty’s ):

@@KDMCurt gotcha. I hear the sound an engine can make with the intake installed. Much more aggressive sound.
What’s up bro, just installed these. Do you leave the switch to the actual wires on and just turn off the lights through your phone when you’re not using them. Or do you flip the switch completely to save the battery. Will it affect my battery if I don’t flip it every time?
I just turned them off with my phone, no need to disconnect each time to save battery. It won’t drain when they aren’t on.
Does the fuse tap make it so they cut on with lights?
The fuse tap just allows you to plug it in to the fuse box, now which fuse spot you plug it in to is what matters when powering them on/off. The fuse spot I plugged them in to supports power even when the car is off so I can use the lights when I’m parked at a car show.
what front splitter you got there may I kindly ask

you, as always, surprise us
Thanks!
Do I have to put the Air intakes on first or can I put the Snorkles on first.
You can do the snorkels first.
What kind of rims are those? Very sharp!
👂
Looks good!
Thank you!!
Awesome broh🔥
Thank you!
Wow great video!
Plenty on Ebay for $190. The under cover.
Good to know, I’ve managed to keep my stock one intact and I’ve had my bumper off 3-4 times now.
tell me about that hood please
Stock hood, wrapped in flat black vinyl.
Do yours automatically turn off? Or do you have to manually do it??
Has to be done manually in the app if it’s connected the way I did it. I’ve seen people do it another way that shuts off with the car but then you can’t turn them on when you’re parked somewhere.
@@KDMCurt can you elaborate How others have connected them so they turn on/off with the car? Second could you explain a little more how you secured wiring, esp the bluetooth control box? Thanks, excellent video by the way
Where you wiring it to ?
They are wired to the fusebox in the engine bay.
@@KDMCurt thanks make sense lol good work
The only part I would get nervous about is removing the bumper...
It’s actually very easy and can be done pretty quickly.
What brand are your blow off valves?
ADD W1, I have an install video for them on here and there’s a link to them in the description.
@@KDMCurt adjustable ?
@@bryanreid4559 yes, there is a nut on top that you can loosen or tighten depending on the sound you want.
@@KDMCurt sweet thanks bro 🙏🏽
