Hyundai/Kia - 1.6T Replacement Midpipe

How the i30 N-line exhaust should've came from the factory

Had the "muffler delete" (latest version with the growl mufflers) from Cherry but found it too loud once I started using the car to commute again so put the stock muffler back on. This mid-pipe is a dream! Gives a slight burble over stock during idle, and putting around town, even cruising on the highway the road noise takes over what is still a quiet exhaust so there is absolutely zero drone. But! put your foot down and it comes to life, it gives a real raspy "euro style" note which get's more angry the more you put your foot down. Personally would like it to be a touch little louder on idle and low revs, but otherwise can't fault it! Amazing for the price and how clean of an install it is, comes with everything but the gasket goop which I definitely recommend for the slip joint at the least. The reviews are not wrong. 5-stars! in tandem with a custom intake and intercooler resonator delete you get an awesome sounding 1.6T.

Made us both smile

Installed it at my old mans place while installed an racechip RS. We started it up with a smile and some new found light crackles on light free revs. No drone noise inside the car and has made the factory exhaust sound quite nice indeed. There is a hint of tinny-ness to the cold idle which I think are due to the tips Kia first put on. The DCT as others have said does make the crackles we all want and dream for, while keeping the car sounding road legal. Anyone with a tunnel to transverse will now how some real noise to hear, not just the factory sound box...

Better than expected.

Cold start is nice. Idle is lowkey (almost stock) Sounds real good when taking off. No drone noise in the car when cruising. 10/10 for the price
