I'm digging what you did to your stinger buddy it looks nice af...you did way more than I was able to with my gt-line b4 it was totaled in an accident....I had yellow big fella brakes snorkels(was one of the first 22 gt-line with them) jb4 spectra air filter underglow inside and outside I had a splitter and decklid I never got to install but it's great to see gt-line content
@sycopupy big fella brakes cost money but they worth it...not only to they look great and enhance the look of the stinger but they work like a charm....the name is what they are Big Brakes lol
@@LunAticSTINGER2.5t hey so i recently installed the snorkel lights in the front grill and i noticed i lost some power in acceleration speed. And i think its because they had to take out my factory front mount intercooler? Or the original parts that go in the front grill in order to place the snorkel lights. Did this happen to you? My stinger is the 2.5 and now im thinking if i should have the snorkel lights removed & restore the factor parts back in the grill😳 any advise?
Nice man you wont regret it! I dont have any links cause it would be alot of links lol most of my stuff was bough on ebay, amazon, k8 stinger store and velossa tech
Dude! I just ordered that VT ram air. I also have the 2.5. Pls show me how you hooked up the 2nd side. I can't find a video for the 2.5 install. I'm getting pink wrap next week. Black top. And I ordered claws front and back I'll put them on right after the wrap.
Yo amanda! I didn’t do the install so unfortunately i wont be able to help you on how they did it, but apparently it isnt different from the 3.3tt. But nice! You should post all the things you are doing to it, there is community behind the 2.5’s always looking for content!
@Luna i totally wish I knew how to make cool videos but unfortunately I missed out of social media university. I do post on fb and insta....if there cars communities here pls point me in the direction!
How hard was it to install the led round vents? Did you have to take the whole dash apart? Where did you connect the wiring since the gt-line doesn't come with ambient lighting?

Tbh i have no clue because i wasn’t the one who installed the snorkels to my car. I didn’t notice any lost of HP after my installation. Strange you are experiencing that something is off.
I'm really curious about this engine. sounds like a great compromise with better mpg over 3.3 version. Did You happen to check 0-60 times? And what numbers can we expect after some hardware mods like exhaust, intercooler etc?
I have yet to check 0-60 time. The 2.5 is the perfect balance of having power and having good mpg. Sure with a good tune this car can give you great 0-60 times.
@fernando alvarez yes it is....I had a 22 gt-line with jb4....but to answer the 2.5L question it was great on gas...the jb4 was very nice along with spectra air filter which sounded great...I lost my stinger in a crash then got a 22 gt1 and listen that 3.3 ain't no joke it's way better to have the 3.3 than the 2.5
Look out for trunk rattling and AC rattling. I have a brand new 2023 lease with just 1.6k miles and every time i turn on the AC you can hear an annoying rattling sound. The issue have been reported since 2019 models. The dealership are no help worthless. Cool car but am starting to regret it and am stuck with it for 3 years car looks beautiful not gonna lie but the build quality from Kia is just bad.
@@Genaro2Goated my car has AC rattling and trunk I had hockey tape and that fixed it for me to but again comes down to the built quality just bad. Not all stingers have the AC issues but they been reported since 2019 models.
@@LunAticSTINGER2.5t yea but I don’t know why nothing pops up on the Lcd screen, the rpm goes to 2k and nothing happens, should appear launch control Ready right ?
I would say stinger just because you rarely see them on the road, plus i feel it looks overall better than the k5 but the k5 are really nice and go for a good price for what it offers
Coming from a current k5 owner, GET THE STINGER!!! Don't be me wrong, they are nice but no comparison to the Stinger. I have the GT-Line and the power is terrible. If you do go with k5, definitely get the GT model.
Love it! Just got my 2.5 Stinger a week ago. Looking around for some ideas on what to do with mine :)
Finally more people doing content on the 2.5. I've done a couple myself and glad to have bought it.
Yoo brotha i actually follow you on insta, my ig is iitslunatic. Your 2.5 is crazy fire man keep it up 🤙🏼

What's your opinion on the Big Fella brakes?
@sycopupy big fella brakes cost money but they worth it...not only to they look great and enhance the look of the stinger but they work like a charm....the name is what they are Big Brakes lol
Just bought mine love it
Year in with my car and still love it just as much as when i first bought it
Neat And Clean 👍👌
Thanks!
Your obviously a real car lover so it’s a big endorsement for the stinger
Clean AF. How much more HP do you get with the jb4 with the GT-Line? Looking at a 22' GT-Line and GT1/GT2.
I haven’t jb4 my car just yet so i am unsure
I just got a 2022 kia stinger gt line I love it I love all your mods one question tho where you got the red halo rings on your grilled? Thanks
I got them on the velossa tech website!

Wasn’t hard but yes have to take the dash apart which wasn’t hard at all, i wired it to the fuse box in the front by the steering wheel
kia needs to make a coupe that weight less than 3000lbs with this engine and rear wheel drive at around $35k

Gotta let me know where you got that wing , and the front splitter ?
Got them both from ebay. Front splitter is the ck style splitter and the rear lip spoiler is the duckbill lip
You happy with the sound from the interior? How's the engine sound and road noise dampening?
No complaints tbh
Where did you get your ambient light vents ?
Aliexpress
Nice I’m looking to get one this month any problems or things to beware of?
So far so good no problems 👍🏼

Where did you get the carbon fiber front lip and side skirts? Do you have a link?
Got it off ebay
Love the look bro can you send the links to some of the mods
Thanks man. most mods came from ebay, k8stingerstore, velossatech website, kdmwarehouse website and amazon.
what is that fire appearing round effects behind the grille?
They are the velossa tech air snorkels
Her where did you get that stinger plaque for your front plate?
Ebay
Bro I have the 2023 stinger gt line do you know if it comes with launch control ? Your have it ?
Yes it does, ive done it a few times. Got to take off traction control and be on sport mode
@@LunAticSTINGER2.5t yea but I don’t know why nothing pops up on the Lcd screen, the rpm goes to 2k and nothing happens, should appear launch control
Ready right ?
Mine is RWD
what do u have done to the exhaust
Deleted the mufflers and replaced them with ultra quiet resonators, had a deep mean tone but not overly loud and no drone.
Damn I’m deciding between this and the k5 GT with the GT1 package. Touch choice.
I would say stinger just because you rarely see them on the road, plus i feel it looks overall better than the k5 but the k5 are really nice and go for a good price for what it offers
The k5 nice af but if you gonna get a k5 gt you might as well get a gt-like stinger price/power wise but get that gt1 you won't be disappointed

Did you really covered air intakes for cooling brakes with lights? That is so stupid...
Lights aren’t covering the vents big homie, look up ck71’s you’ll see how they are made, vents are still open for ventilation to the brakes
2.5?? W.T.F ? I have a GT2 3.3TT. ( without the lip smack )
Yup this is the 2022 2.5t they started making them last year to replace the 2.0
