Hello again. I have been trying to keep up with this ever-changing market. There are plenty of downpipes to choose from (Shark/Tork/Scorpion/RPM Performance/AFE/SXTH). But, which is the most well-rounded? From engineering, construction, hardware, performance, and does it throw codes? Personally, Im looking for a: bolt-on (heat shield retention), well-constructed, high-performance downpipe - with no codes. I am not going to tune any time soon, as i wish to keep my warranty intact. I am clear about the work-around with j-bends. I would prefer to not have to do that, if possible.

Shark: 2019+ Veloster N Performance Downpipe
Extremely well constructed. I have purchased a header from them before, and was not disappointed. Seems like a good choice.
Shark quote: The catted downpipe may trigger a CEL, while the de-catted downpipe definitely will trigger a CEL. You must use a tune to eliminate the CEL.

Tork: Hyundai 2.0 Turbo N Downpipe

Scorpion: Scorpion Hyundai i30N De-cat Downpipe - i30N Performance - Exhausts - Scorpion - Pumaspeed Milltek Ford Performance Tuning Milltek Sport Exhaust Ford Fiesta Focus ST RS Parts Specialist

RPM Performance: Hyundai I30N / Veloster N / Kona N 200cel Sports Cat Downpipe | RPM PERFORMANCE
RPM Performance quote: No EML/CEL.

AFE: https://afepower.com/afe-power-48-37005-hc-twisted-steel-down-pipe-street-series
This is a fine piece, here. Hard to argue with the form of this one. However, beware: https://n-cars.net/forums/threads/veloster-n-aftermarket-exhaust.2345/page-5
AFE quote: 'There is a chance that the downpipe may trigger a CEL. It is normal to get a PO420 or PO430 code with the downpipe. In order to get rid of the code you will need to have the vehicle tuned'.
'Unfortunately, part # 48-37005-HC is no longer an item we manufacture and currently have no replacement'.

SXTH: Veloster N Downpipe
Sublime engineering, precise construction, and almost no chance of a CEL.
SXTH quote: 'Our catted units don’t throw a code 99% of the time. I don’t recall anyone contacting us about that happening to them, although I can’t 100% guarantee that for you'.

Its been over 2 years now since the 1st downpipes started hitting the market, I figured it was a good time to gauge the lead dogs again. The SXTH seems like the obvious choice. I'm happy to be all wrong. Delighted as well, if I actually chose correctly. Thank you.

You need to stay with a down-pipe that has a 200 cell catalytic converter and the stud mounting for the OEM heat shields.

There are several other units available then what you’ve listed.

No matter what DP you go with you will most likely need a J-bend. Even ones with a cat sometimes throw a code. If money was no object I would go with a complete Milltek DP with a cat. If money is tight, I'd go with a Scorpion with no cat. I went with the latter but I had mine Jet-Hot coated. I also had my Ark mid Jet-Hot coated as well. I have that set-up going into the stock PP muffler. Hope this helps?

Best regards,

Thanks Red. Yo Red, u mean this one? https://dynomotive.com.au/product/hyundai-i30n-4-stainless-steel-dump-pipe-with-cat/
Wow, that looks amazing. Soo damn hard lookin'. That's 4" though. That gonna fit? Looks like too much for a stock turbo, no?

Might go with the tork imo since they sell a carb legal one and I’m in CA

Thanks Guy. You gotta do what ya gotta do, no? AFAIK they (Tork) are the only ones who offer a CARB-legal downpipe.

Any good J-bend (the ones with the restrictors inside) will do, no? I'm sure I got one lyin' around here...somewhere.

Yes there are two, a 3” and 4”. The 3” pipe is fine for any application. Both will fit well and retain the OEM heat shielding.👍🇺🇸

I love the beefy look of the 4", but I'm wondering if it will have any negative effects - as opposed to the 3". I would love to get it, but just never seen one that big and don't know exactly what that could mean - downstream. Thanks Red.

Only go a 4" for a stuffed turbo. No need for the puny factory one.... Just an opinion.
