Elantra N Gets One Of The First SXTH Downpipes | Install and Sound Review 

Personally, this confirms the stock exhaust sounds pretty great.

Nice to see new N content fellas! I really appreciate the honest take on the installation. Not something I'll ever do for my N, but still cool to watch.

Thanks for all the tips and DIY install. Trying to not break or strip studs and figuring out how to maneuver down pipes or headers out of cars are my least favorite things to tackle. Glad you guys figured it out and despite it taking longer than you anticipated, you got it done. It sounds amazing!

Going to the track this summer for the first time in my VN thanks to you guys. Cant wait for more N content.

Love the elenrta n and will be purchasing the 2024 facelift version spring/summer of 2024. The stock exhaust sounds just fine, gives it a deep tone and doesn't sound like a fart cannon. All of the videos i have seen of resonator deletes or downpipes for this car make it sound like a fart cannon. the stock exhaust is just fine.

Awesome video! I am a new subscriber!! I am a big fan of the Elantra N!! They are great cars! I just traded my 2019 Type r fk8 and bought a 2023 type R Fl5! It’s been fun! Looks like an awesome channel! I look forward to seeing more videos! 🚙🚙👍🏼👍🏼

awesome video! Keep up the good work.

Great channel 👍 Jus finished installing my dp. Def need to move the charge pipe. My old dp came out super easy with it out the way. I worked off car ramps, took bout 5hr

Great video! All the videos you produce are great. Been watching the Civic Si videos too. Interesting how the downpipe goes straight to the exhaust side of the turbo. I know on the SRT-4 Neon there's what we call an '02 housing AKA turbo elbow that's a small piece that connects the exhaust side of the turbo and then the downpipe connects to that. But it looks like this is just one big piece, which is good ..one less area for potential exhaust leaks. To me it's not worth it unless you plan on taking the factory turbo to its limit. Looks like the OEM piece is a good solid piece and flows well. Cars sounds amazing with the new DP though.

Awesome vid and install! Inspiring to see content creators for the N platforms, love to see it!

This car amazing! Guys the new downpipe with the cat makes it sound much deeper, the pops an crackles are definitely more pronounced it sounds crazy!!

Wow that’s a big job thanks for the video!

Been waiting on another EN vid 🔥🔥

Good video, kinda glad I was not the only person who had some trouble getting the old DP out. took me about 3-4 hours to get it out, if you notice the Veloster does not have the metal bracket that our EN's have which gives it way more room. I did not take out that engine fire wall, but it definitely was something I was gonna try to take out but just by pushing the engine around enough I got the new DP in without having to do that. SXTH also does have instructions for it, which cleared up some issues for me, but its not on the website yet. I also put on the titanium turbo studs and if anyone else decides to do this I recommend being VERY careful, we ended up having to tap one stud hole. Car sounds amazing though, definitely worth all of the work

Thats the cleanest shop I've ever seen

I wish I found the channel before ordering my EM3 for my Kona N. Haha sweet video

Found ways to have a straight flow-through exhaust system but having it much quieter than the original factory exhaust and having have better performance without attracting cops. It's nice to be able to hear the music in the car without having it too loud.

That sound very nice. Good job

Wow looks really nice with the black wrapped pieces instead of the red. Way better!

Sxth just launched pre-orders for the 2.5T CPLT Intake for the K5 GT and Sonata N-Line! Grabbed a pre-order with your code! Thanks

🙋🏻‍♂️🙌🏻 best Elantra N content out there. Ready to see the new wheels set up

This car is so popular right now which is awesome

Glad i found a great channel that has content on the eleantra n. this will deffentaly help me when i start my build

Thanks for this gentlemen!! Very informative video. I'm still on the fence about touching the exhaust system on my N because I really enjoy how quiet I can make the car on demand. After driving a Isis Catback tuned 2.0T Genesis previously quiet wasn't on the menu! LOL But when I want more power there is no getting around the sound. Thanks again for this though guys. We appreciate it!

Sounds great!

It sounds so much like my straight piped big turbo Cobalt SS with a resonator it's scary. The Cobalt SS has a pretty unique sound for a four cylinder, well,,, I guess it use to. Would sure like to hear yours in person because video rarely does them any justice, only two videos that I've found. Stay safe and God bless

What size was the socket to take off the o2 sensor on top. You didn’t say in the video.

Sounds great

Hey Patty, Love the video! My turbo nuts and studs were really big pain, got 3/4 to come off but one would not budge didnt want to risk it and our shop was closing up so i reinstalled everything. You mentioned WD40-ing the nuts and studs and driving it around for it to get hot? Does that help loosen them?

What o2 sensor socket did you guys use?

Can you do a long term ownership review of the Elantra so far? Since you've now had it for about a year or more at this point would like to hear your thoughts

Do you guys have any numbers (HP/torque increases) or curves (any loss of low-end)? The SXTH website doesn't have any information about expected performance gains.

I enjoyed your video. I own the same elantran, but I have a downpipe working too. I have a question. I know there are 4 nuts in total that are attached to the stud bolt. I saw the top nut loosening, how did you release the bottom bolt?

I have the "AFE Takeda" non resonated mid pipe on my Elantra N and it sounds INCREDIBLE in "N mode". Bigger/louder/more POPS AND BANGS! Eco/normal mode back to dead quite again for when you don't want attention. Its perfect!

What dimension is the O2 sensor socket? How many mm?

any lbs min gains for airflow in data logs? Im wondering how much power gains is to be had

I am currently saving up to buy an elantra N, and it’s nice to see you guys doing what I wanna do on mines! Great video!

can someone explain why pops and bangs when you blip is longer and sounds better in dct than manual? only way to make it sound better in pop and bangs is to tune it or remap it ?

in this i cannot see the itner cooler and the air intake and the ecu and the new wheels that u had installed previously? is this video old?

Getting my trim done this week how has the vinly held up

Will this fit the Australian version of the manual Elantra N?

is it need tuning after instilled in my kona n 2022 or no need i need fast flow and little bit sound good i need anyone help me in this my plan is air filter from pipercross and turbo inilit and Mishimoto MMTS-SEN-13 Racing Thermostat, Fits Nissan Sentra 2013-2018 and intercooler forge and change coolants because in Saudi is 46 47 C so the temperature coolants up and down

amazing car

Great video! Can’t wait to get an EN! In the meantime I bought a used 2017 Elantra Sport. It had 65k miles on it. No pops and bangs from the exhaust. I back in 2018 I test drove a new 2018 Elantra Sport and new stock it had pops and bang. Does anyone know if the tune or something else is different between the 2017 and 2018? I’m trying to figure out why my car doesn’t have any.

Putting on this down pike you don’t remove the catalytic converter ?

I just got a 24 N Line. I'd love to do an intake and exhaust upgrade, but soooo afraid of voiding the warranty 😞

Is it dumping fuel into the exhaust to make that sound is what I'm wondering

Can you tell me what size o2 sensor socket that was

Did you guys remove the red trim at the bottom? Looks like a more grown up car that way

hey man I loved the video. What would be your opinion on the shark racing catless downpipe vs the one in the video?

If I did this would I have to get a tune?

Only down pipe? The rest of exhaust is stock?

i want an elantra N soooo bad, the dct version for those sweet braps after each shift, i have a 10th gen civic Si rn...my downpipe is 100 times easier than the N cause its right there when you open the hood but of course the turbo inlet is right above it but easy removal, sounds amazing and im surprised the exhaust modes still work

i gonna call ur method the corkscrew technique how you twisted it in there, lol

you guys plan on replacing the shift knob? obviously its down to preference but in my experience its one of the first mods most 6mt owners do

Does this mod void Hyundai's power train warranty?

Dude with the veloster N was just as hard I don't know who told you otherwise I own one and I had to do the same shit with the crow bar

Traded my DCT in 03/20/23 I'll keep you on watch,, need more content from you guys on the EN. Possible to cancel still though, change my mind. Thanks

Will it void the warranty ?

What does the down pipe do?

all my boi need now is a nice size trubo

Does this void warranty?

waited so long for the video on the downpipe, knew it had to be coming! and didnt you have an intake?

Does sxth not sell these anymore?

Is there a reason why you put the stock intake back in?

Great video! Installing this downpipe would have to be significantly better performance for the work for me do bother doing this.

i put the depo catless on my N solo in the garage with some jackstands lol

Got a link to this??

What happened to the lightweight battery that was in this car previously?

still hunting for one for the 2018 Sonata 2.0T

I'm really surprised that the downpipe isn't V banded like the 2.5T sonata N line is! If there was a V banded complete exhaust from downpipe and then the whole exhaust would make life better!?

Just looked it up on their website and it’s not listed anymore are they not selling it anymore or was there something wrong with the downpipe?

When I did my catless downpipe it took me about 12 hours of work because of those turbo studs. It was the biggest headache ever. I had to rethread it and everything

Silly question... is the right exhaust pipe not functional? Everytime you can see the steam it's only from the left side lol

Since the stock one is already too loud in California, what's the point?

Hows the smell on coldstarts on 200cel cats? My previous mazdaspeed3 was catless and im done with the smell lmfaoo.

It's a bit deeper but more drone. Hard to say if that was worth it.

how much would it cost to have this one done for me you think, I dont have a hoist and that looks like all no from here doing it on the ground

man i was doing the exact same install and all 4 turbo studs broke. i have been a month without my EN and i was hoping the sounds was gonna be worth it after the install is finished. really surprised me and it sounds great, cant wait till mine is finished this week!

It might have been easier if you dropped the subframe, it's a few extra steps but saves a headache and busted knuckles

Did y'all look so see or maybe try taking the downpipe out from above?

Would it be crazy to attempt this install without a Lift?

How the hell did you guys get the nut off the stock down pipe. The left nut on the first section for the stock down pipe is in such a weird angle and man I can not get that sucker off. The one I am talking about is the ones you're taking off at 7:00 in the video. I have an angle socket but man the angle is still so weird that it won't really turn. Its put my whole car on hold for the last 24 hours lol gonna give it a go again once I am off work lol I even tried using Aero Croil for it and still that thing is on there like a m'fer. I keep watching your video back at 7:00 to see if I can kinda mimic the angle you approach it at. This stupid nut is the only thing stopping me at the moment I have every else off, even got the turbo studs loosened with no problem just that left nut on the first section of the stock d pipe is pissing me off so much.

In my opinion, this car came from the factory with performance in mind. (Definitely not looks). The stock downpipe that is fitted on the car is perfectly fine. There is really no need to mod a car just for the sake of modding. Younger people you'll eventually learned that after thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars. Car is perfect the way it is performance-wise. You want to put some aftermarket lightweight Wheels and throw on some aesthetic pieces then please go ahead. The one thing the car does not need is to be louder, especially if it means adding some aftermarket piece that may or may not hold up, and may or may not void your warranty.

Font find this downpipe anymore

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

I thought you guys had the SXTH Element intake🤔

Dude you guys are from Michigan?!

Where'd the pops go

How much was the shipping for the catless down pipe?

OEM battery? Lol is everything back to stock besides the tune and mount?

Not trying to be rude. But is no one going to talk bout how he first shifted at the end of the video, or is it just me 😂😅.

I am going with the uniq performance catless DP, wanted sxth but they will never have a catless version

love everything about these cars...except for how they look. whyyyy couldn't we just get the i30n in the states.

I got that bitch on!!!!!! Holy shit that was a mission lmao Did by myself with no lift my god that was tough af but I got it done lol So funny every nut or bolt that you guys got off easy in your video mine were like close to seized on. it took me 2 1/2 hours to get the left nut off the stock down pipe first piece it was on there like a bitch. Anyone thinking about do this mod it can be done with out a lift but i wouldnt advise after all the work which accumulated to around 23 actual working hours and 3 day all together its worth the money to pay someone to do it. Or if you have access to a lift that would have help tremendously also of course.

I'm not sure how it would affect performance but I think European cars got it right and used exhaust pipes about half that diameter because you have this tiny little engine bladding around inside these giant pipes and it just sounds freaking awful

Nothing beats stock exhaust, the engineers who perfectly designed this vehicle knew what they were doing from the start. Compared to a waste of time with a mod exhaust that not engineered right to do anything.

Looks like a fun install!!! Jk. Downpipes suck. So worth it though.

Pair this with the new Borla and this would be louder than hell

I actually like the stock sound better, the downpipe sounds like it’s lagging 😂
