Damn I barely have time to take my car to get necessary work done on it, but this guy found the time to take his car to another state to get it modded out. That's some serious dedication.
Watching this in 2017, Hyundai competes in WRC, the Elantra sport is fun to drive and well reviewed , Genesis is a luxury brand and they will release their performance brand, N. Im pretty sure most of the people that talked shit about about Hyundai in the comment will continue to talk shit about Hyundai/Kia, despite all the great thing they have accomplished in such a short time.
Not really, when every 18 year old with a mustang wants to take off at every light because your engine sounds like you're gunning it all the time it gets old. Plus the Veloster is a 4 banger as well.
4Leaf36 Get a bigger intercooler and get the turbo and turbo lines off a Vigen, its a mitsubishi turbo that some older evos (I think), WRXs, Fozzy XTs, and Volvo 240 turobs use, its really not all that expensive as far as turbos can go, and its much better than the stock Garret that Saabs come with. More durable and higher boost. Also a new blow off valve could be useful as the bosch ones (at least the ones I had) are not very good and have to be replaced often. Then get a tune. Mind you this is all if you have a factory turbo car like a 900s, 9-3, 9-5 or (if you're really fucking lucky) a 99 turbo.If you dont have a turbo saab buy a turbo saab engine and do the above listed mods
until you drive one and realize the front diff is bullshit. he will never put the power tot he ground until he mods the differential. i test drove one of these when they first came out and they 1 wheel peel all day long.
LeeVai666 You have no idea. You need to have bigger tires to not spin. I have 245's no issues at all. Besides, with future upgrades include a quaife lsd.
cheapo911 The fact that it was 161whp stock is questionable. The Stock Veloster Turbo (with the 201hp engine) pushes 180whp on the Dyno on premium fuel, translating to about 210 at the crank.
I live in PA, the guy got his car tuned at a place called seoulful racing in Westchester. Their website has a few dyno graphs up that show some promising numbers.
Yes these figures are from a Dyno, I had it dynoed on a Dynojet 161 whp 196tq stock. Installed the FMIC, downpipe, CAI and straight pipe, had it dynoed again on a mustang dyno, 192whp 198tq, no tune.
Why wouldn't the engine last? And I doubt he's lying, turbo charged engines are held back quite a bit from the factory. My Audi I went from 250hp to 350hp with similar mods. Exhaust, intake, tune. Haven't even done an intercooler upgrade. If anything won't last, it would be the turbo. I don't think my turbos will last more than 60k miles at this level of boost pressure. Which is fine by me. They are getting upgraded later anyway
Somehow they confused the non turbo Veloster with the turbo Veloster, the non turbo makes 145 from the factory while the turbo model makes 201 from the factory. So he got his turbo model from 201 to 245
The owner of SXTH Engineering drove a 400 whp Elantra with the same engine as a daily for several years. Had over 100,000 miles with the setup, last I heard of it. Zero work was done to the engine itself. The blocks are actually solid.
Cold air intake on a turbo is counter productive. Yes colder air is more dense, but you're going to heat the air up by compressing it anyways. You're pretty much making the turbo suck through a longer straw. You would get more air into the turbo by shortening the intake path before the compressor....
sure the air heats up going through the turbo, but it's intercooled so that'll cool the air back down again, but i think the reason the air filter isn't up behind the headlight is because there wouldn't be enough airflow up there and you'd be sucking in too much hot engine air
PsH00tEr right the cold air is going through the turbo to create hot air which is then cooled by the intercooler BEFORE entering the engine. cold air intakes on turbo cars are beyond worthless.
spit fire The 2013 one is fine if you get the one that was made on the 2nd factory line. The way to tell is to look into valves with a borescope and you should either see a letter A or B. The A is the first lineup, which you should avoid. The B is fine as long as you get the 6 speed.
Is there a way to do all this stuff to a vehicle but still make it sound more stock [in terms of just exhaust]? Im sure most people actually prefer this but it just sounds cheap to my ears. To each their own.
Yep. Depending on the car you can forgo the intake and go with a quieter exhaust system. I've done similar things on my GTI but it's still reasonably quiet when I'm just putzing around town.
If you aren't looking to make huge horsepower gains on most small turbo cars, you can leave the stock cat-back on and just upgrade the downpipe. Also, the intake is usually fine stock. THere are always exceptions, but most of the time the downpipe and intercooler are your two best simple upgrades for easy power when tuning without changing sound very much. Most stock downpipes have multiple cats that are not very free flowing and they are usually very restrictive around the area right after the turbo. So a good downpipe can easily eliminate one of the cats and replace the other with a higher flowing performance cat, plus a good downpipe should be much more open and smooth where the exhaust is first exiting the turbo. Keep in mind that as exhaust travels toward the back of the car it is rapidly cooling and therefore compressing, so the further back in the system it goes the less important it is for the piping diameter to be large. As a result many factory cat-back systems are free flowing enough to do the job even when the car is mildly tuned. 90% of the reason why people put intakes and cat-backs on 4banger turbo cars using the stock turbo is because of the sound. The power gains are rarely noticeable from those particular parts until you heavily modify the engine, swap turbos, or run Ethanol/race gas with aggressive tuning.
***** dude I feel for you. I respect all cars but the hate you are getting is just ridiculous. As long as you are happy with your ride at the end of the day is all that matters.
The drone from this car's exhaust is going to make him go crazy. I owned a 2008 Ford Focus SES coupe, and it was a great little car. Peppy Duratec engine that returned great MPG along with a fun 5 speed. I started tuning it until I went too far and ruined it. A set of H&R springs, FSWerks cold air intake, FSWerks RACE exhaust, and 40 series tires (I live in Michigan) and I was done. I destroyed my awesome highway cruiser. Uncomfortable, loud, and obnoxious. Don't know what I was thinking. Nothin wrong with a Focus, just don't do what I did.
The hyundai engines never had a good sound, but they run pretty good, even the small ones and SOHC. I had a 98 model Accent, four doors, manual, 12 valves SOHC 1.3 lt, it could go over 170 km/h (thats like 105 mph) with no trouble.. a couple of years ago I drove a Hyundai Getz, 2009 model, automatic, 16 valve DOHC 1.6 lt. in an steep and stretch mountain road. The performance was amazing, I felt like in a Rally.. pretty cool and fun drive.
Leonardo Antonio The post-refresh Genesis Coupe 3.8 has to be an exception. Granted, a tuned exhaust, but it's a really rich-sounding V6. I just wished it was smaller displacement so it revved higher and faster.
VdevoV 1st gear ratio is 3.615 - so its not terribly long. But then again, Kia's ratios mated to the European version of this engine are all shorter than the Veloster (except 2nd, which is longer in the Kia).
I have a base model veloster. It currently has 138 horse power with the 1.7liter 4 cylinder engine that comes with it. I want to get up there in the 200+ without losing any of the gas mileage advantages. Is this possible? And if it is what do I need and how much would it cost?
itd be prohibitively expensive and damn near possible without some forced induction which would both affect your mpg negatively, and would be a whole clown car of headaches. In short, no. You'd be much better off buying the veloster turbo. Hang in there I was 26 and on my 4th car before I cracked 200 hp
Zachary Blair mostly yes. Most modern cars that are factory turbo, their stock airbox is good enough. I was going to get a ram air CAI that hooked up to my mini's hood scoop (since it was just for looks they moved the intercooler to the bottom) and all my tuner buddies just kept telling me to leave it be.
Billbill80s Just like the old school muscle car area. Alot noise and no go. Most people don't know how to build high performance sleeper. But the whole point of a noisy car is HEY LOOK ME I NEVER GOT THE ATTENTION IN MY CHILDHOOD...
Thomas Ford Nope, I'm talking about the exhaust note. As someone who drives a turbo 4 cylinder who has also driven it with an open downpipe quite a few times. It's a very familiar sound. Not refined, unnecessarily loud under light load, and after a while, irritating.
wooo wait, so it takes the air from the bumper, just BEHIND the fog light.. the fog light that is still there and block the air ? That should be effective !
that engine knocks like my 90s nissan, must be great having to hear that 4 pot on long journeys too. I'd own one, but with a muffler, a bigger turbo if they prove to last.
***** plus my testicles vibrated with the gear knob and my anus has a tendency to tingle at the resonant frequency of the final drive while tugging at it trying to get every last pop of it clear on summer days where I hang my spine out the window and shaft myself thinking about days gone.
That's the right way to do a cold air intake; mounted so actual cold air from the front of the car can get in. Those silly intakes with the filter element in the engine compartment actually lose power when compared to stock.
I like the "revisited" idea... Youse guys are welcome to revisit my car down the line... The sound this car is making is EXACTLY why I've kept stock exhaust (except for the 2nd Cat Delete pipe) Direct Injected turbo 4s just seem to have an extremely raspy odd sound. To each his own, on if that exhaust sounds good or not... I'm not a fan... I do like the look of the veloster... It's weird without going too far ...Cough JUKE Cough...
Yep, I've noticed that raspiness with the MK5 GTIs as well. That's one of the reasons I installed a resonated exhaust system when I upgraded it. Keeps the rasp in check!
Posted brochure power numbers are drastically inflated for marketing sake. Besides, when tuning, your initial number is merely a jumping off point to show gains after modification. 161 seems low compared to the advertised 201, but the dyno it was tuned on was probably calibrated low (usually for race regulation standards). The jump from 161 to 245 simply means that he got an 84 HP gain from the mods, which is absolutely huge (or 201 to 285 if you go on the advertised power rating).
It seems like an awesome 'do-everything' kind of car, if only it was awd/rwd instead of fwd. The owner must be getting pretty bad torque steer with an extra 80 hp.
You really didn't drive that car to its potential. Of course, if I were driving someone else's car, I wouldn't pound on it either but the Veloster totally changes around 5k RPM. I have a 2013 Veloster turbo and I drove it conservatively for the first few months, I tend to shift around 4k then one time I decided to flog it and push it up to 6k and I was surprised at how much it wakes up at 5+. It was like night and day.
It's definitely louder, but it seems a little droney. Seems like a lot of work and money for what a fiesta ST or focus ST can do right out of the box. Yeah the veloster looks cool, but you only buy one because it's kinda practical and has a 10 year warranty, which all these mods will probably void. I'm sure it's fast though, and fast is good.
Comparing this to a Dodge Neon is insulting! This Hyundai is ten times the car that a Neon will ever be!!! Most Dodge Neons have been crushed by now. Hyundai's will survive for many years to come.
I live out side of Winston-Salem NC. A'nit much tuning going on around here, sad really. Hope to see this guy out on the street so cool he meet a You Tube celebrity.
Damn I barely have time to take my car to get necessary work done on it, but this guy found the time to take his car to another state to get it modded out. That's some serious dedication.
Insists on pronouncing "Hyundai" in a way no other english speaking American does, then goes on to pronounce Illinois as "Illi-NOISE". lol good stuff.
I thought that was pretty funny, too.
Watching this in 2017, Hyundai competes in WRC, the Elantra sport is fun to drive and well reviewed , Genesis is a luxury brand and they will release their performance brand, N.
Im pretty sure most of the people that talked shit about about Hyundai in the comment will continue to talk shit about Hyundai/Kia, despite all the great thing they have accomplished in such a short time.
I have a 2001 Accent. Last time it had a battery, it still ran, with low squeeze on two pots.
As someone who did nothing more than put a short ram intake on his CRX Si and regretted it forever, I could never live with that level of noise.
intakes usually are completely unnecessary anyways.
***** not if the stock intake is really restrictive. if not, then an sri still makes the throttle response quicker
That's because you had a honda 4 cylinder...Now if you have a VR6 on the otherhand, it's a completely different story.
Not really, when every 18 year old with a mustang wants to take off at every light because your engine sounds like you're gunning it all the time it gets old.
Plus the Veloster is a 4 banger as well.
Trevor Reis
It doesn't sound like you're gunning it. It sounds like the shitbox is struggling to hit 50km/h.
Loud and slow. Great combo.
Stopped what I was doing to immediately watch this new video
me too lol
3:57 "track day bro" at the Miata was hilarious!
Hyundai really is the new iteration of 90s Japanese 4 banger tuner cars.
Hey, you guys need to do a Saab Sonett.
Speaking of tuning...Saabs and tuning go hand in hand (the ones with turbos)
kirbyswarp so i have a saab, but dont really know where to start with tuning. Any tips?
4Leaf36 Get a bigger intercooler and get the turbo and turbo lines off a Vigen, its a mitsubishi turbo that some older evos (I think), WRXs, Fozzy XTs, and Volvo 240 turobs use, its really not all that expensive as far as turbos can go, and its much better than the stock Garret that Saabs come with. More durable and higher boost. Also a new blow off valve could be useful as the bosch ones (at least the ones I had) are not very good and have to be replaced often. Then get a tune.
Mind you this is all if you have a factory turbo car like a 900s, 9-3, 9-5 or (if you're really fucking lucky) a 99 turbo.If you dont have a turbo saab buy a turbo saab engine and do the above listed mods
4Leaf36 brew city boost and jzw tunes are very reliable. Intercooler intake and full exhaust with a tune will really open your saab up.
and a mercedes w123
Really enjoyed the focus on the driving in this video, thanks guys!
That hill climb was hilarious. All noise and no go.
245 horses? that's borderline respectable actually
until you drive one and realize the front diff is bullshit. he will never put the power tot he ground until he mods the differential. i test drove one of these when they first came out and they 1 wheel peel all day long.
LeeVai666 You have no idea. You need to have bigger tires to not spin. I have 245's no issues at all. Besides, with future upgrades include a quaife lsd.
***** SRT4's had issues with the open diffs at stock power even, that's why only the first year had them.
blown4six I have had no issue with it as of yet, but plan to have a quaife lsd installed.
Over exaggerated. I want to see a dyno graph. 240whp with just basic bolt ons and a tune. Highly doubtful.
Did you even get on the throttle that much? Sounded pretty loud, but overall pretty lethargic
"track day bro" at 3:56 when an mx5 want past hahaha
where was the full throttle pass
Are those HP figures from a dyno? Seems hard to believe those handful of mods took it from 161 to 245.
totally agree. The car should've had an lsd out the box.
cheapo911 The fact that it was 161whp stock is questionable. The Stock Veloster Turbo (with the 201hp engine) pushes 180whp on the Dyno on premium fuel, translating to about 210 at the crank.
A handful of mods and a tune
I live in PA, the guy got his car tuned at a place called seoulful racing in Westchester. Their website has a few dyno graphs up that show some promising numbers.

3:54 that "track day bro" love this your vids always make me laugh keep making more
161hp to 245hp on a Velsoter with only those mods...?
Either this guy is giving us a big fish story or this engine won't last 10k miles.
Why wouldn't the engine last? And I doubt he's lying, turbo charged engines are held back quite a bit from the factory. My Audi I went from 250hp to 350hp with similar mods. Exhaust, intake, tune.

It sounds like a 13b Rotary crossed with a SR20. What an odd mix of sounds, hah.
Haha yeah, you're right
This reminded me of my 12a 1st gen rx7 w/ an open header. Glad im not the only one who thought rotary
like that sound.
awesome car and awesome vid... thanks.

PsH00tEr right the cold air is going through the turbo to create hot air which is then cooled by the intercooler BEFORE entering the engine. cold air intakes on turbo cars are beyond worthless.
Having colder air to begin with decreases the amount of work the intercooler has to do.
***** Not by much. People get it for the induction sound.
I've always liked the look of the Veloster. I wonder how reliable they are, anyone know?
Stonefate 83 don't get the 2013 models. That's all you gotta know
spit fire The 2013 one is fine if you get the one that was made on the 2nd factory line. The way to tell is to look into valves with a borescope and you should either see a letter A or B. The A is the first lineup, which you should avoid. The B is fine as long as you get the 6 speed.

Is there a way to do all this stuff to a vehicle but still make it sound more stock [in terms of just exhaust]? Im sure most people actually prefer this but it just sounds cheap to my ears. To each their own.
Yep. Depending on the car you can forgo the intake and go with a quieter exhaust system. I've done similar things on my GTI but it's still reasonably quiet when I'm just putzing around town.

With all these parts, I gained 31hp together without a tune. But really you cant take full advantage of most bolt ons without a tune.
I'm making that sort of gurgling noise that comes from just pure happy, lol. Beautiful.
Keep all the great videos Mr. Regular me and my friend go up behind people and talk about THE BOER WAR
Is it just me, or does it still seem really slow even with a tune and mods?
Yah im thinking the same too, maybe he didnt floor it, and its way too loud in the early rpms
was thinking the same thing.. that looked pretty slow for all that noise it made
The fact that it was never full throttle and that there were 3 people in the car.
***** dude I feel for you. I respect all cars but the hate you are getting is just ridiculous. As long as you are happy with your ride at the end of the day is all that matters.

How did you get that turbo/BOV sound?
+Jayson Huffman Its just the intake, I have an Injen SRI on my Veloster and it makes that same exact sound!
your guys' videos are hilarious
I plan on getting a Veloster Turbo. What shop did he go to?
I have a strong feeling that car would need a better ratio'd gearbox to take advantage of *any* power. That 1st gear seems waaaaayyyy to long.
for realls... way to long
VdevoV 1st gear ratio is 3.615 - so its not terribly long. But then again, Kia's ratios mated to the European version of this engine are all shorter than the Veloster (except 2nd, which is longer in the Kia).
1st goes to 30 mph
I have a base model veloster. It currently has 138 horse power with the 1.7liter 4 cylinder engine that comes with it. I want to get up there in the 200+ without losing any of the gas mileage advantages. Is this possible? And if it is what do I need and how much would it cost?
Sorry 1.6liter 4 cylinder.
+RasticMonster yea trade it in for antoher veloster turbo and then tune it or buy a different car
itd be prohibitively expensive and damn near possible without some forced induction which would both affect your mpg negatively, and would be a whole clown car of headaches. In short, no. You'd be much better off buying the veloster turbo. Hang in there I was 26 and on my 4th car before I cracked 200 hp
I love that grunt really nice.
Was the Duryea (sp?) road?
Was this up near Pine Grove?
arnt CAI's on turbo cars kinda useless? the turbo just heats up the air anyway before going to the intercooler...
It's the increased amount of air, plus the much more dense cold air, that makes a CAI useful on a turbocharged engine.
Completely useless without a tune, otherwise helps a bit. Better off upgrading the exhaust.
CAI are useless in general. Mighty car mods busted the myth. They had to make a ridiculous set up just to get more power on the dyno
Zachary Blair mostly yes. Most modern cars that are factory turbo, their stock airbox is good enough. I was going to get a ram air CAI that hooked up to my mini's hood scoop (since it was just for looks they moved the intercooler to the bottom) and all my tuner buddies just kept telling me to leave it be.
maybe worth like 1 or 2 hp, in other words not worth it and within statistical error.
What kind of down pipe and exhaust are you running?!?
you need to come out and drive the roads of east TN and west NC!
I like these kind of videos from you. theyre "normal" lol
what tune? sounds simple. how do i do it
Wonder how a fiesta ST with the cobb stage 3, the ford fiesta ST, and this veloster turbo would all stack up? Im sure there are videos but im lazy...
Track Day Bro. I lost my shit. That's fukken hilarious!
is this bryce bolz car?
North Carolina represent
Hes talking about seoulful racing!
While the ramp up in power sounds nice numbers wise, it didnt seem to be all that quick. :/
what road is that? is It off of 61?
How come after 4:10 I hear so much motor but see virtually no acceleration?
whats the exhaust setup on this guy?
Who's tune do you have?
The Dodge Neon is grown up and refined. It's called Dodge Dart R/T now.
witch sucks also like this car. if not worse.It looks like a stratus.
Grant l Agreed. Personally,I think they should have given the Dart more power. Rear lights are cool...
It's too heavy though so it will never match the Neon. Fiatslyer forgot how to do a small inexpensive car right.
I walked on my brothers V with minor bolt ons . I wonder how my 250hp mini fares against yours
please review a 02 Monte Carlo SS. why because I drive one thanks.
wonder if that's the roman in back
what tuning shop was it?
Isn't it interesting...the treble in your voice rose when you opened the windows. Am i right?
Probably because the bass levels went down. With open windows and wind you tend to hear less lower frequencies.
yeah i have a sub in the back of my supra and with the windows up it resonates a lot more.
The sound it makes made me laugh so hard.
Looked really slow?
I just saw this for the first time... I’ve been watching since the Jetta
Exhaust sounds terrible.
Billbill80s Just like the old school muscle car area. Alot noise and no go. Most people don't know how to build high performance sleeper.
But the whole point of a noisy car is HEY LOOK ME I NEVER GOT THE ATTENTION IN MY CHILDHOOD...
Way too raspy sounding. Sounds like the owner is just running an open downpipe.
Pssshhh. On some cars it sounds great.
Direct injection makes it sound clicky. I'm assuming you meant when he started it with the hood open in the beginning.
But, after watching the vid, I can agree lol. Straight down pipes on my friends 350z? With a V6 engine instead of a 4 cylinder. Shit...
Thomas Ford Nope, I'm talking about the exhaust note. As someone who drives a turbo 4 cylinder who has also driven it with an open downpipe quite a few times. It's a very familiar sound. Not refined, unnecessarily loud under light load, and after a while, irritating.
I am running a catless downpipe, this video was with a straight pipe. I now have just a turndown after the downpipe.
Why even have a video if you aren't going to bring the car to redline?
wooo wait, so it takes the air from the bumper, just BEHIND the fog light.. the fog light that is still there and block the air ? That should be effective !
+gunzoqc There's a foglight cutout that projects air at a CAI.
+gunzoqc It takes air coming in from the grille, by the Inter cooler.
You love doing videos 5mins away from my house

The official car of going 43 mph through a non-main Penn State campus parking lot.
relieved to know they have harbor freight in PA
It does sound like an angry Fox body, if that angry Fox body is an SVO or a Turbo Coupe with an exhaust.
That's the right way to do a cold air intake; mounted so actual cold air from the front of the car can get in. Those silly intakes with the filter element in the engine compartment actually lose power when compared to stock.

Yep, I've noticed that raspiness with the MK5 GTIs as well. That's one of the reasons I installed a resonated exhaust system when I upgraded it. Keeps the rasp in check!
If I ever do exhaust on my Speed 6, it'll DEFINITELY be resonated.
It's amazing how much that extra "muffler" does at refining the sound.
That thing sounds so good. HYUUNDIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
why would you buy and tune a Veloster Turbo?
the radioator of one of my cars was blocked by a stupid crash bar my solution was the angle grinder cut a nice window into it.
The what now? Radioator? Is that a new thing to keep the radio cool at high decibel levels or something?
you guys should do a Saab 9-3 Aero 2.8t
Posted brochure power numbers are drastically inflated for marketing sake. Besides, when tuning, your initial number is merely a jumping off point to show gains after modification. 161 seems low compared to the advertised 201, but the dyno it was tuned on was probably calibrated low (usually for race regulation standards). The jump from 161 to 245 simply means that he got an 84 HP gain from the mods, which is absolutely huge (or 201 to 285 if you go on the advertised power rating).
You guys should test my 2013 Mustang Boss 302
There's no way that's 245hp. It looked slow as hell. I bet the tuning shop told him it's now making 245 but I bet it was never dynoed
This thing is rad. Think I'd take one over a Mazdaspeed3
gli, gti, brz, ft86, focus st, fiesta st .... anything but mazda or hyundai (execpt rx7 and rx8 those are awsome !!)
Psychog two You forgot the NUMBER ONE Mazda. Track day bro?
Mazda speeds are pretty awesome.
It seems like an awesome 'do-everything' kind of car, if only it was awd/rwd instead of fwd. The owner must be getting pretty bad torque steer with an extra 80 hp.
Bwahahahah! Good one... Than again, you might as well buy this pos and leave a raw driver's car like the ms3 to real drivers...
You really didn't drive that car to its potential. Of course, if I were driving someone else's car, I wouldn't pound on it either but the Veloster totally changes around 5k RPM. I have a 2013 Veloster turbo and I drove it conservatively for the first few months, I tend to shift around 4k then one time I decided to flog it and push it up to 6k and I was surprised at how much it wakes up at 5+. It was like night and day.
dam that thing sounds so good
It's definitely louder, but it seems a little droney. Seems like a lot of work and money for what a fiesta ST or focus ST can do right out of the box. Yeah the veloster looks cool, but you only buy one because it's kinda practical and has a 10 year warranty, which all these mods will probably void. I'm sure it's fast though, and fast is good.
Those FMIC's do alot for turbo cars.
My guess is tuning shop added about 40bhp and told the customer they added 85
I still can't get over the fact that Hyundai have stared to make half-decent cars.
Please so a chrysler 300c, id love to see what you think of it!
*Ahem* High Pressure Fuel Regulator, Mr. Regular. (RegularCars)
Comparing this to a Dodge Neon is insulting! This Hyundai is ten times the car that a Neon will ever be!!! Most Dodge Neons have been crushed by now. Hyundai's will survive for many years to come.
I live out side of Winston-Salem NC. A'nit much tuning going on around here, sad really. Hope to see this guy out on the street so cool he meet a You Tube celebrity.
Its Illinois...THE "S" IS SILENT DAMMIT!!
Awesome, sound alot like my Kia Optima :)
Can you tell Bryce that you don't pronounce the "S" in Illinois. Its Illy-noi.
i was hoping you would really stop on the right pedal to get it moving...
Awwhh Man.. I thought you were going to floor it at one point to see what it sounds like under hard acceleration & boost
