Enthusiasm for the Kia Stinger GT remains high as consumers around the country continue to snap up this fantastic platform. Kia has done an incredible job with the release of the twin turbo V6 3.3L Stinger GT. Inspired by European styling with true muscle under the hood enthusiasts have been devouring these sedans as quickly as they can. Who knew that a reasonably priced 4 door hot rod would be so highly sought after!
To keep the excitement level high on these cars Kia invited STILLEN to offer our parts through the North American dealer network at last year’s Las Vegas dealers meeting. Since then we have been shipping kits around the country to dealerships looking to offer their customers an opportunity for added value through personalized customizations. The latest dealer to increase the heart rate is Crown Kia of Dublin in Dublin, Ohio. The team there selected a ceramic silver example to adorn with the STILLEN poly urethane front splitter, STILLEN poly urethane rear diffuser, STILLEN cat-back exhaust and STILLEN cold air intake.
The complete package of performance parts creates the GT400 package unveiled at the Kia Dealer Summit in 2019.
For nearly 30 years STILLEN has been working very closely with dealerships around the world. Many dealerships recognize the benefits of being able to offer their customers the ability to personalize their new cars and make sure that the customer can not only enjoy their new car, but have the satisfaction of knowing it is even more special due to the personal touches made to the car.
Infiniti of Melbourne truly “gets it” and they’ve been customizing new cars for their customers for years now. STILLEN has supplied them the necessary parts that allow their customers to add the finishing touches to accentuate these great Infiniti Q50 platforms. The latest creation coming out of Infiniti of Melbourne is this 2020 Infiniti Q50 RS400. This particular example features the striking Q50 iridium blue finish and after the modifications made to the car has affectionately been dubbed “spiderman” by its new owner.
Exterior modifications on the car consist of STILLEN poly-urethane front splitter and rear diffuser. Vossen HF5 wheels in anthracite finish accented by red wheel locks. Exterior modifications are tastefully rounded out with a 15% window tint. Wanting to bring the STILLEN body kit closer to the ground and those fenders truly wrapped around the Vossen wheels the team at Infiniti of Melbourne installed a set of RSR Down Suspension System lowering springs. The finishing touch to wrap off an elegant build is the INFINITI illuminated front emblem. making sure every who sees this rocket in the rear view mirror will know what is coming up behind them.

STILLEN® is proud to announce the development of the Trupower by STILLEN cold air intake scoop for the 2019 Chevy Silverado. Follow along as we let you in on all of the behind the scenes details that goes into developing this True cold air intake system to enhance the Chevy Silverado.
To start with the team began analyzing the 3D scanned CAD data to see how the factory air intake works. By understanding how Chevrolet has engineered the factory system we are able to begin working on our concept for how to improve it.
We immediately saw that Chevy has developed a very unique air intake system from the factory that pulls air from the factory radiator covers to duct air into a tube that then goes in to the filter box. The enters this tract by first traveling through the front grille area and then working its way up the radiator, through the lattice work material and the design of the hood and core support guides the air into the inlet tube.
Once we had a thorough understanding of this we began to look at ways to introduce even fresher, colder air into the system. The team began mocking up some renderings in CAD until we had a few design ideas and were ready to bring in a vehicle for physical test fitment.
We always bring in a vehicle for physical test fitment before we proceed with building prototype parts because it is pretty common that the CAD data is missing a part, or some detail that you can only see once you have the subject vehicle in front of you. This was the case again with the Chevy Silverado. We immediately noticed that there were some support braces on the truck that were not present in the CAD data.
Additionally, with the vehicle in hand we are able to begin gathering engineering data from the vehicle. We start by installing a series of sensors under the hood that allow us to monitor the temperature of the air in specific areas around the engine bay. This way we can design our air intake system to bring in the coldest, freshest air possible.
With all of our engineering data, CAD models, and physical inspections completed we are able to begin building our prototypes. Stay tuned for our next post and videos that walk through the product design and function in more detail.
Kia Dealerships across North America have started taking advantage of the STILLEN GT400 package featuring the STILLEN Cold Air Intake and Cat-Back Exhaust combination. Chuck Olson Kia in Seattle, Washington are one of the latest STILLEN authorized dealerships to begin carrying and installing our high performance Kia Stinger GT performance products.
In November 2019 STILLEN was invited by Kia North America to introduce our performance parts and poly-urethane styling accessories to the Las Vegas dealer summit. This was a great opportunity for Kia dealerships to learn about all of the ways they can offer aftermarket accessories by STILLEN to allow their customers to get even more enjoyment out of such a fantastic car.
STILLEN is proud to say that all of the parts on this Kia Stinger are Made in USA in our Southern California manufacturing facilities.
It is with tremendous pride and excitement that STILLEN announces the launch of the 2014-2020 Toyota Tundra Trupower by STILLEN cold air intake system. This product release culminates 18 months of product development and testing on this particular air intake. STILLEN has developed the only true cold air intake available for the third generation Toyota Tundra.
With this particular air intake STILLEN has increased the volume of the air box while also increasing the flow. The increased flow comes from the radiator shroud inlet system which guides air through the vehicle’s core support and into the larger poly-ethylene airbox. This design lowers the intake air temperatures back to ambient more than 60 seconds before the factory intake system and far sooner than any other aftermarket intake available. The Trupower by STILLEN air intake is the best Toyota Tundra intake available today.
Features and Benefits:
Achieves ambient air temperatures faster than any other intake on the market
Achieves ambient air temperatures 60 seconds faster than factory air intake
+20 horsepower increase*
+20 torque increase*

STILLEN® set out to DYNO Challenge 3 different intakes for the 2014-2019 Toyota Tundra 5.7L.
FACTORY INTAKE
The first intake to hit the DYNO was the Factory Intake. The factory intake gave us what essentially be the baseline for the Tundra.
HP: 325.78
TQ: 325.96
LEADING COMPETITOR COLD AIR INTAKE
The second intake was the Leading Competitor. This intake did better than the Factory Intake.
HP: 335.85
TQ: 366.43
TRUPOWER BY STILLEN COLD AIR INTAKE
Finally, the TruPower by STILLEN Cold Air Intake hit the DYNO. This truly cold air intake made more HP and TQ than the factory and leading competitor intakes.
HP: 340.02
TQ: 367.93
AIR TEMPERATURE
But for STILLEN, we wanted prove to how good the TruPower by STILLEN Cold Air Intake truly is. So we tested all 3 intakes in a real world scenario. By far the TruPower by STILLEN Cold Air Intake out performance the Factory and the Leading Competitor intakes.
The TruPower intake proved that it can lower the intake air temperature and improve air flow. The TruPower CAI maintained a good consistent low intake air temperature, making the Toyota Tundra constantly perform as good as it can.

In early 2018, STILLEN President and CEO Kyle Millen purchased a new Toyota Tundra. With every new vehicle purchase Kyle sets a goal for the vehicle. This one was simple, a family hauler that would allow his family to go off roading, camping and have fun. Occasionally it would be used for towing project/race vehicles or parts but it was never intended to be a test bed for product development.
Right…
Well that obviously didn’t last long.
While installing a set of aftermarket headlight bulbs and a color matched grill assembly Kyle noticed that there was a large amount of room between the radiator shroud, core support and air box. After a little bit of tinkering and conceptualizing Kyle came back to the office Monday morning and showed the product development team what he’d found.
This is when the team began creating prototype parts to test. Following with our series of videos showing the testing of the best air intake for the Toyota Tundra 5.7 liter.

The New STILLEN Performance and Styling products for the 2019+ Nissan Maxima are here.
It was only natural that STILLEN will introduced a new line of power, performance and styling products for the 2019 Nissan Maxima. Our design goal was straightforward: offer enhanced performance and add a hint of aggression to the race-inspired styling, controls and luxurious appointments of the newly updated Maxima.
We finished off the 2019 Nissan Maxima Axle Back Exhaust with a polished 2 3/8-inch striaght cut exhaust tip. It fills the factory exhaust cut out nicely; delivering an aggressive look that matches the enhanced exhaust note. At the same time, it imparts a higher quality feel worthy of the restyled Maxima.
We felt the only way to do justice to the fresh styling was to enhance it with a suitably aggressive Front Splitter. We took the natural lines of the front bumper into account and designed our Front Splitter.
STILLEN front lips and splitters are made from durable and resilient polyurethane. They provide an easy way to dramatically improve the appearance of your vehicle. The 2019 Nissan Maxima front lip/splitter comes painted matte black and ready to install. However, it can still be prepped and painted the color of your choice. The part comes with proper 3M automotive trim foam tape pre-installed onto the splitter, as well as adhesion promoter to make your installation quick and easy. We also include screws to fully secure the splitter to the front bumper.
The STILLEN Rear Diffuser for the 2019 Nissan Maxima dramatically improves visual appearance of rear bumper giving it a race-inspired design features. The Rear Diffusers aggressive fins and deep air channels help create grip and reduce aerodynamic drag. It also gives it a look of a wider rear bumper adding a sexy and sporty look.
The STILLEN Rear Diffuser compliments the factory exhaust cut out nicely. The aggressive styling of the Rear Diffuser and Front Splitter help set your Nissan Maxima apart from the crowd. This Rear Diffuser is made of durable polyurethane, and installs without cutting, trimming or altering the Maxima in any way.
The STILLEN Hi-Flow Air Intake Kit for the 2019 Nissan Maxima helps to increase engine performance. The Hi-Flow Intake features the most optimal horsepower and torque gains for the Nissan Maxima. This A36 Maxima intake provides a better air flow to the engine with the smooth surface tubing construction.
The STILLEN Hi-Flow Air Intake retains the factory intake tract which leads into the STILLEN polyurethane air duct, ensuring the coldest possible air reaches the engine. A sleek, polished aluminum intake tube adds to the look and durability of the unit. A genuine High Flow Air Filter ensures your 2019 Nissan Maxima breathes cleanly and freely.
The STILLEN Rear Sway Bar for the Nissan Maxima helps control the weight shift that occurs during cornering, taking familiar corners at higher speed. Planted is the result of better weight distribution, traction, more control from the STILLEN Sway Bar. OEM Sway Bars are often too small for optimum performance.
The STILLEN Sway Bar helps control the rolling effect by twisting along its axis as the chassis and suspension moves. STILLEN Sway Bars are made from high strength aircraft grade steel for maximum torsional strength and durability.
