What's up fellow G70 owners and admirers. I will post a pic or 2 of the car. What I need is some input on EXHAUST options? The car is awesome just needs deeper voice but not Barry White deep?

Hey @Kbracy53 there are a couple of aftermarket exhaust options here you can take a look at.

What cars did you own before your Genesis?

I'll start: 2000 Civic Si 2002 Audi S4 2005 Acura TL 2013 Audi S4

Here's a video of a G70 with a custom MagnaFlow exhaust.

I like how it sounds but being throatier would go a long way. It would mean spending more for a broader system. Worth it in my opinion.

Whats everyone's budget?

 

[MikeyTX]

Have you tried changing the sound enhancement settings ?

Have you tried changing the sound enhancement settings ?

Spent some time playing around with it and liked the subtle changes, more so the fact we can turn it off. What setting are you on?

 

[MikeyTX]

I finally shut the damn thing off. I want less noise in the cabin, not more. GM is doing the same thing with the new C8 Corvette.

 

[Bryan]

I did the same, turned that sound option off.
& no desire to turn it back on

 

[MikeyTX]

I never could hear a difference.

I have the ARK exhaust on order. It being a cat back, it should be interesting to hear the sound difference.

Are u planning on doing your own installation?

No. Taking the car to Alamo Autosports in Arlington TX (http://www.alamoautosports.com/Page-Home_1.aspx) He's also going to do the install/tune of the Vivid Racing tuner. Alamo has a dyno so we'll be doing before and after runs. VR Tuned ECU Tuning Box Kit V2 Genesis G70 3.3 T-GDi 365bhp 2017-2020

Very simple plug and play. No ECU exchange needed. Once installed, the head unit simply mounts in the upper right corner of the engine compartment. https://www.vrtuned.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/VRTuned-hyundai-kia-3.3tgdi-Instructions.pdf Picture on pg 17 of instructions.

ARK exhaust was installed today. I've put around 200 miles on it already. A combination of twisties, country two lane, city stop and go, lastly interstate at 80/85 mph. Gotta love TX ? Noticeable difference in sound quality. Not fart can ! Very mellow. Unnoticeable at highway speeds. No cabin drone. Both Corsa and Borla could learn from ARK. Excellent build quality. Techs at Alamo were very impressed. They work on a lot of metrics and have seen some real garbage come through the shop. Think back alley eBay type.

 

[Kbracy53]

I ordered my ARK performance exhaust 2 days ago. Can't wait should be installed in a few weeks

 

[Kbracy53]

Did you notice any HP gains?

 

[MikeyTX]

Won't know until the VR tuner goes in.

 

[Kbracy53]

So are you still loving the ARK exhaust and is there any cabin drone vibration noticed at certain RPM?

 

[MikeyTX]

No ! Re installed the OE muffler cans yesterday. Left the ARK mid pipe in place. Better flow based on design. True X vs the restrictive H crossover factory mid pipe. After the initial install, I took a 600 mile jaunt to burn in the ARK exhaust. A combination of interstate and back road twisties. https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/texas/windiest-road-tx/ Dyno showed a mid range power loss. Not what one wants. Max gain was at WOT ......... WTF, I don't drive that way. The cabin drone around town is insidious to say the least. It sounds like a bunch of pebbles in a can being shaken violently. Exterior sound is just as annoying. Total Honda fart can effect. Not what one wants from a G70. The irony is that the ARK mid pipe w/ the OE mufflers provided the best sound/performance combination. Oh well, live and learn. I've lost more at the tables in Vegas.
