Sounds like a real winner for people who purchase it and Hyundai. :goodjob2:

Good review, and as others have said makes me proud to drive it. Only done 600kms as been working away but the engine is starting to free up a bit which is refreshing. :goodjob2:

Like the review states, the premium sound system could be louder along with the exhaust note  :crazy1:

Exhaust note is an easy fix, replace the very restricted rear muffler with a stainless Walker straight through design and you'll be good to go, it will have a slight crackle to the note and probably a couple of HP gain :)

The factory cats and resonator will prevent any droning sound.

Have you tried stainless Walker rear box? may just drill a couple of  drainage holes  :victory:

I used a Walker straight through (still got a new one sitting in the garage🙂)when I first began testing different systems, it works well and sounds nice if only wanting to do the bare minimum.

I definitely wouldn't be drilling holes in the stock muffler :disapp: it wont give you the same effect.
