DCT owners. Do you enjoy the sound from your N ?

I am curious on this. The manual is glorious with its engine and exhaust note, and with the long delays in manual shifting, it sounds fantastic.

After listening to the Kona N on track it doesn't sound that good because it shifts so fast. so... I am curious... do you guys with DCT's get the same audible enjoyment? Do you feel you are missing anything?

I love it and think the volume is perfect. Hyundai really knocked it out of the park with the N exhaust in general.

I personally have just gotten to the point that I want to exhaust sound for myself and not to alert every cop within a mile radius.😄 The performance blue already draws enough attention.

I drove a 2019 Manual N, and remembered a more aggressive bang and pop note coming from the exhaust. But now with my DCT 2021 its quite different. I still love the sound but it's quieter and you have to try hard to get some pops sometimes. One of my friend got a reso delete and its pretty perfect. It doesn't pop like the manual but you can ear them much louder ... when you get one.

I'm a child, I know.

So no, yes (thinking about reso delete or mid pipe for the warranty) ... I just want a little more or maybe I'll start with a DP

I wonder how much of a difference the stock axel back actually makes. I've seen video but it's still hard to get a feel for it.

I can get a stock axelback off a manual for $399 or a midpipe which could run $450ish. I'd almost be inclined to use stock parts, but if you have an upgrade path in mind the mid pipe is probably the way to go.

Side note: Wonder if anyone who went aftermarket with their exhaust would be willing to part with their old axel back for cheap.

I love the sound of my DCT. The manual sounds awesome but I love that the DCT is a little more subtle. Also, if I want to play a little, I just push it in to manual/paddle shift and hang out the revs myself. I to am driving the “hey everyone look at me” colour way ,”ignite flame” and I love it👍🏾
