You'll see it on the end of the exhaust tip, the left side has more heat treatment and shines much more gold, than the right side without the flap. So the left side releases generally more back pressure, if it can.

Engine How To: Remove sound generator
- Thread starter izybluffen

You either did it wrong or you're lying because taking out the fuse completely disables the sound generator... lol
To pull off the windscreen wipers, I red somewere: just leave them in normal position, you push a few times on the middle of the arm (push it to th windscreen, not too hard) and they will come of! Tried this and it worked really well. Car had about 20000km so wasn't new.
That's really interesting. I know we all struggled massively on first time removal. I used copper grease on the splines and it's not been a problem since. I'll try your method next time I need to remove them.
It's so easy in Australia where we can just pull the fuse but after a few months I put it back and now enjoy the sound enhancing the ambient sound track.
I've disabled mine on all 3 i20Ns i've had using the same 3 minute method -
Use a small screwdriver poked through the vent holes just above the SG and you can flick the connector off (lift tab and push at same time)
Pull up rubber trim on top of windscreen cowl and lift cowl up enough to get your hand/ finger under (prop it up with a block of wood)
Pull end of connector towards front of car and wrap in electrical/ waterproof tape (didn't bother doing this on 1st car as i didn't think it would get wet)
Push end of connector back under cowl, refit rubber, close bonnet - job done

Hi, what is the tightening torque for the front wiper arms? Thanks a lotSo this is pretty much the same as the i30n, just thought I would chuck some photos up for it, as I have seen people ask.
How To: Remove Sound Generator (ESG)
Just for the completeness of our HowTo section: I have found that I have not yet posted a tutorial to remove the sound generator (except on my member car thread). Sound Generator. Since I always had problems with the sound generator, I wanted to remove it completely this time. I was disturbed...n-cars.net
This is with the coweling out. I had the most stuck windscreen wiper arms ever, and it gave a loud pop once I finally cracked it, had to get a wiper arm puller !!
Basically mark up the wiper arms so you put them back on the same splines, pop out the 4 plastic rivets (push in with allen key or whatever you can find) disconnect the wiper water hose on left, lift off the wiper arms, click up the 2 coweling pieces next to the bonnet arms, then pull out the coweling.

Then disconnect the offending article and proceed to destroy it however you see fit.

Once the aforementioned article is destroyed, go ahead and wrap up the plug. I was going to use heat shrink and fold it over but couldnt find my heatshrink bag..... So I used a small sandwich bag and wrapped it up, cable tied the bottom then tied it up to the bracket it comes off:

Then re-assemble everything in reverse order. Check you put the wiper arms back lined up with your marks.
Go for a test drive and enjoy vibration and fake sound free driving. It's then you will notice the back seat rattle which is the next fix......
This modification will add 10 HP
I wouldn't worry about that. It's tapered and splined just nip it up
