Exhaust- / Sound Discussion

Worst case scenario is that nothing can be done, I flog the guts out of it and have all the thrills, and I put up with the close to 15l/100km fuel guzzling.

Really hoping your dealer helps you out and gets your car working like the rest of the N's on here. You shouldn't have to push your car to that sort of fuel economy for it to be fun :(
 
I'm no expert, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the pops and bangs are a side effect of the Anti Lag System, right? So if you're not getting this, then maybe there's an issue with your ALS?
There's a good video on the forum that explains how the ALS works.

if you get 4 bangs your cars not running right i would have it checked the timing is preset you should not get more then the 3 as a max
 
So I took her out for another go today and still the same, had it running hot, one huge crack in 1st gear at 5k and shift lights are on, 2nd a slight pop, nothing after that, still nothing on downshift, not happy, it’s going in for a first service tomorrow, I’ll tell them about it but I’m sure they won’t be able to do anything, hopefully Hyundai can come up with a software update because there is definitely a problem somewhere..

@N-Raged I'd swap mine, but I'm a bit too far away for that!!
 
Sure you would Emma, easy to say that when your on the other side of the world lol..

I’m not fussed by pops and bangs, they don’t interest me! I’d have happily had a car without them - our other car is like this, demo popped and banged, ours never has done but it burbles more which I prefer!
 
@N-Raged mine will do it before 5k, I think it loosens up over time (I’ve just done 10k miles).

Our other car on test drive popped and crackled, ours never has, not once! But it burbles much more nicely. Swings and roundabouts!

I'm not too fussed about the pops and crackles but I love that burbling noise!

Well I need more than I’m getting, mine burbles nicely tho, especially in normal mode for some reason, which surprises me, but I just needs some pops now, I’m not stressing yet, if we can land probes on mars them I’m sure they can find a way to make my exhaust pop like it’s supposed to do, can’t be that hard to fix..

My car progressively got louder, the initial pops at 1500kms sounded like dsg farts then up to 2000kms machine gun fire. The demo I tested had 2500kms and was definitely louder, and I heard has only gotten louder since. Mine pops at 4k.

Was yours popping at 4K at 1500km? Do you get them on downshift as well?
