Exhaust Hyundai Veloster (2011-2016)

The Hyundai Veloster exhaust system often experiences issues such as increased exhaust noise, valve (flap) errors, and faulty sensors. For example, models like the 2022 Veloster may have mechanical or electronic malfunctions with the exhaust valves that affect sound and emissions control. Additionally, the 1.6L engine variants sometimes show loud exhaust noises combined with engine misfires, often necessitating professional diagnosis of gaskets, mufflers, or catalytic converter components.

If your Veloster shows diagnostic errors related to exhaust valves or sensors, starting with an OBD scan is recommended to retrieve error codes. Common faults include valve actuator issues or defective back-pressure sensors that measure exhaust gas pressure to optimise engine performance and reduce emissions. Repair usually involves checking wiring and replacing faulty valves, sensors, or exhaust components as needed for proper function and compliance with emission standards.

Many Veloster owners with a 1.6 GDI 140 hp petrol engine upgrade their exhaust systems to improve performance and sound. Typical modifications include installing sport exhaust kits and engine remapping, which can result in estimated power gains of +20 to +30 horsepower depending on the kit used.

• Sport exhaust systems with features like stainless steel construction and polished tips
• Cat-back or axle-back exhaust setups tailored for specific Veloster models
• Reprogramming the engine control unit (ECU) after exhaust upgrade to optimize power delivery

Always ensure the upgraded system fits your Veloster model year and complies with local emissions regulations including EPA and California standards where applicable.

Exhaust options for Veloster vehicles commonly include:

• Axle-back systems that replace the muffler section for better sound and moderate power gains
• Cat-back systems replacing everything from the catalytic converter rearwards, allowing for greater performance and distinctive tone
• Systems made from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability
• Variants with dual or single rear exit tips, often polished or rolled for aesthetics

Choosing the right exhaust type depends on your performance goals, model compatibility, and local emission regulations.

When ordering exhaust parts for your Veloster, consider the following:

• Proper installation requires checking for correct fitment to your vehicle’s specific year, engine type, and emission standards.
• Installation manuals or technical support are often available from professional suppliers to ensure correct assembly and to avoid issues like leaks or sensor errors.
• Shipping times and costs can vary; fast or express delivery options are often available for urgent needs.
• Always verify local regulations especially concerning catalytic converters and emissions-related components.

Professional installation by experienced mechanics is recommended to ensure optimal performance and compliance.

The engine warning light can activate due to various exhaust-related problems including:

• Defective back-pressure sensors in the exhaust system that monitor gas flow and pressure
• Malfunctioning exhaust valves causing errors in emissions control
• Clogged or damaged catalytic converters leading to poor emission performance

Prompt diagnosis with an OBD-II scanner will help identify the exact cause and prevent further engine damage or emission failures.

Ensuring the exhaust system fits your Veloster involves:

• Verifying the model year (e.g., 2011-2022) and engine type (e.g., 1.6 GDI turbo) compatibility
• Confirming that the product meets local emission standards, including EPA or California regulations
• Requesting technical specs, such as diameter of tubing (typically 2.5 to 3 inch), exhaust tip style, and finish
• Using a reliable supplier who provides fitment lists and installation support

Choosing the right system prevents issues with OBD warnings, emission test failures, and mechanical fitment challenges.
