Hyundai Veloster 2019-present Exhaust Specifications

The 2019-Present Hyundai Veloster exhaust system is compatible with 1.6L Gamma and 2.0L Nu engine variants. It features a dual-outlet design for the Turbo model and a single outlet for the base model. The system is designed to fit factory mounting points and includes catalytic converters, mufflers, and resonators. Ensure compatibility with your specific trim level and engine type before purchase.

Regular maintenance includes inspecting for rust, cracks, or leaks every 10,000 miles. Clean the exhaust tips to prevent buildup and check hangers and clamps for wear. Replace gaskets and seals as needed. For turbo models, monitor the exhaust backpressure to ensure optimal performance. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended service intervals for catalytic converter and oxygen sensor checks.

To install or replace the exhaust system, first, lift the vehicle securely. Remove the old exhaust by loosening clamps and hangers. Align the new exhaust system with factory mounting points, ensuring proper fitment. Secure with new clamps and hangers, and tighten bolts to the specified torque. Check for leaks and ensure all components are properly aligned before lowering the vehicle.

Common issues include rattling, excessive noise, or reduced performance. Check for loose clamps, damaged hangers, or leaks at joints. Inspect the catalytic converter for blockages and the oxygen sensors for proper function. If the exhaust smells unusual, it may indicate a fuel mixture issue or a failing catalytic converter. Address these issues promptly to avoid further damage.

To optimize performance, consider upgrading to a high-flow catalytic converter or a performance muffler. Ensure the exhaust system is free of leaks and properly aligned. For turbo models, a cat-back exhaust system can improve airflow and boost performance. Regularly inspect and maintain components to ensure peak efficiency and longevity.
