In this video I pick up the car from ‪@borla‬ after having it there for R&D on a new ATAK exhaust. I tried taking some sound clips in the heavy rain, but might need to do another comparison video in the future. No word yet on when it will be released but I will share an update the second I hear news of it!
Excited again for the opportunity to help bring more parts to market for the Kona N. Thanks to Ian and Eric at Borla for am awesome experience and shoutout ‪@Snooz.n‬ for help in facilitating communication. Stay tuned for more!

The sound is amazing!! As expected, you are my best friend kn bro !!

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Ah man thank you KN BFF!

@oraclemiata845 Год назад

Super excited for that track day video.

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Ha same, but kinda nervous! Never been ever and don't wanna crash the car lol. Thinking of taking it easy and not go too crazy.

@Damo1998 Год назад

I have one of these coming for my i30n here in Australia! Very excited. It sounds awesome 👌

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Awesomeeeee, man I wish we got the i30N here :( let me know how you like it when it comes!

@ChannelMaster720 Год назад

Way sick there, bro!! Nice work!

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Thank you!

@TheHarlemtwin Год назад

Looks like they did a great job! Awesome video man. I hope they do something for the Elantra N

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Thank you! Yes, in the last vid I saw an EN there, and they're looking to have a setup for the Elentra N as well!

@lordzedd9453 Год назад

Gives me something to wait on. Hopefully they take there time making them nice and ready for the road! I'm excited

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Ah yes hopefully they come out soon!

@marks1059 Год назад

@@CaliforniaKonaNstill not out?? Borlas website still says coming soon..

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

@@marks1059 Yeah still no word. I'm assuming that once its listed and the video has been out, that it should be coming but probably waiting on production to finalize for distribution. I'll post an update if I hear any news!

@KDMStation Год назад

It sounds so good! I need to hear this in person 😭🙌🏽

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Ah ya it sounds amazing! Hope to meet you guys soon. Gonna do a track day with Derek on the 25th!

@rmarvelous Год назад

Beautiful. I have the Elantra N and I'm starting to like the Kona N 🫣🙂

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Ah love the KN for sure, but the EN is amazing, and probably the only N ICE engine left in production since it looks like they are ending the KN after this year to focus on N-line and EV Konas!

@ChannelMaster720 Год назад

@@CaliforniaKonaN - Hey, the N-Line is a pretty rad ride and not to be merely dismissed. Hyundai named it as part of their N car product selection for a reason, you know. I'm extremely happy with mine! LOL. Just saying, you know...

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

@@ChannelMaster720 For sure! I think I was mentioning more of the full N not going for another generation but the N-Line goin through for 2024 (all based on your reasons)!

@garymayfield3974 Год назад

Sounds so good! Loving the build so far bro. Definitely inspiring me to do more to my KN. Did they say when they plan on releasing it?

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Ah thank you man appreciate it. They didn't say when it'll release but I'll try to post an update the second I hear when!

@oraclemiata845 Год назад

Hopefully they don’t get cold feet since it looks like the KN is going away. Those black tips are fire.

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

@@oraclemiata845 fingers crossed! They had filmed a video for their channel so hopefully it'll follow through!

@jacrispy6694 Год назад

Sounds insane. Did they give idea as far as when it will be avail on market

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Not yet! I'll post an update if I hear anything tho!

@JacesOwnWorld Год назад

That’s actually pretty sweet looking in red on black! How are they when tuned? Does Hyundai void warranties once you tune it?

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Yeah there are some full ECU swaps that are tuned and make good power that I’ve seen. And knowing any dealer it would prolly be best not to tune or mod if worried about warranty for sure!

@Talaria567 Год назад

Is it possible to do an exhaust comparison with the different modes vs the stock exhaust in the same modes? Obviously sounds great in sport/n but would like to see the comparison of the stock sport mode vs the Borla normal mode. It’s really nice being able to make the car sound like a Prius when passing cops! Thanks!

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Might have to search for some stock exhaust vids on here to get a comparison. The valving system works yes but def not going to sound like a Prius lol in normal mode. The Borla the exhaust note is more apparent /louder than oem in normal though not obnoxiously loud and at cruising speeds its lower. They have filmed the car though and Borla typically releases sound comparisons videos of the different modes so I'll look to share once they post! Also might might to check out the aFe exhaust videos to get some comparisons with their system. They have a cat-back system option that keeps the resonator so won't be as loud in normal mode.

@Talaria567 Год назад

It seemed like the afe exhaust was louder than the Borla even with the resonator. What I am looking to know is, which is louder, the stock exhaust in sport mode vs the Borla in normal mode? Appreciate the quick response and subbed 👍

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

@@Talaria567 Ah maybe wait until the sound video comes out from Borla to compare. What they've said is they don't necessarily go for loudness but for tone and exhaust phonetics hitting certain notes. For me the normal mode in the Borla is def louder than stock sport to me. I'm getting a good amount of pops and bangs in normal with the borla vs I would only get them in N mode.

@luiscarbajal270 Год назад

Hey man love the Kona N content ! What % did you get on the window tinting ?

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Thanks man! I don't know the exact % but I had told him to match the rear windows that came from the factory.

@FkSCF 10 месяцев назад

20%

@exitixs5473 2 месяца назад

What’s the sound difference between this and the afe exhaust?

@punemax 3 месяца назад

Any power gains?

@cindysue5474 Год назад

Dyno sheet would be interesting any price yet on the setup?

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

Yeah they didn't dyno the car unfortunately. They had an EN there that they're release an exhaust for, and I would assume it would be similar in gain and price. The VN one's I've seen around $1500 for the cat-back system but I'll see if I can post an update if they let me know!

@ericburns5034 Год назад

Did they do a dyno for the horsepower results?

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

They did not unfortunately. Their big thing is the sound and phonetics. Car feels good tho (and sounds amazing) but wouldn't think its astronomical gains as far as power (5hp-10hp) at the most and similar to whatever the results of the VN are.

@family___man646 Год назад

Just got mine not sure if i wanna mod yet kinda need that warranty lol what you think i should do? Haha

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

hah man honestly out the box the car is great. Def wait for the break-in period and maybe first oil change just to get a feel for it stock but maybe some lowering springs or new wheels and tires and def the rally armor flaps or rally flapz are a must and great first little mod to do!

@josearredondo5023 Год назад

When installing the new pipes did they get rid of the BOV??

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

I took the BOV off and K&N Intake for R&D but have since put it back on and everything sounds good with all the noises ha!

@Sleeper47 Год назад

what is a Kona actually? Here it looks like a lifted hatchback but was it a compact SUV? Anyway, it looks really sick. I cannot wait to get my hands on the N lineup.. one day.

@klasseact6663 Год назад

Yes

@Damo1998 Год назад

I have an i30n and my mate has a Kona N, my i30N has more room in the car and boot space compared to the Kona, it's a strange car.

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

It is on the small side and more of a CUV but I do like how tall it is ha. But yeah the N cars are amazing, hope you get your hands on one soon!

@delasmoo Год назад

Did you keep your stock exhaust or left it at Borla shop?

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

I kept it just in case!

@lordzedd9453 Год назад

Yo Takeda intake k and n intake or sxth? I'm trynna decide Idk which one .

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

I have the K&N intake and love it, and I've see the Takeda intake and it's beefy and great quality. I would go with those 2 and then SXTH last (only because I haven't seen it in person).

@lordzedd9453 Год назад

I got the Takeda intake but I got a 2023 and don't know what turbo inlet matches only the 19-22 veloster N inlets says it matches. Could you help? its really confusing lol

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

@@lordzedd9453 no change to the engine for 2023 so the Veloster N inlet still works. I would still hit up SXTH just to ask and to also see if it pairs up with the Takeda intake not sure what the sizings are between the 2!

@FkSCF 10 месяцев назад

How much was the total cost?

@CaliforniaKonaN 10 месяцев назад

Cost of the exhaust is listed on their site here: www.borla.com/2022-2023-hyundai-kona-n-exhaust-systems so around 1.5k to 1.6k depending on the color tips you get. Not sure how much the install would be at a shop, depends on the shot in your area!

@veln8229 Год назад

can i buy this item in korea?

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

It depends if a shop or parts dealer will import and stock them to sell!

@CaliforniaKonaN Год назад

@auxil47 Год назад

Not for nothing but be wary friend municipalities are beginning to send summon's in the mail to vehicles they're recorded being operated above tolerable sound/decibel levels for music and excessive exhaust noise via the red light/speeding cameras that are already posted. In my town the fines are returnable to the Environment Control Bureau which can be very high and you can try and fight it but it'd be a waste of time one cannot refute whats been captured on video or audio for all to witness. Corsa has already started to sell a valve that allows the driver to hit a switch in the car in order to turn the sound down substantially which is great but who knows where these cameras are with out a detector for speed or red light, if even? Proceed cautiously my friend don't get caught out there, cheers.
