Great news. Let us know how the car behaves now when pushed hard
. Curious to see if its a bit too much or not as I've heard upgrading to a thick rear sway can cause you to spin a little too easily.

It’s hard to get too much oversteer in a fwd car for autocross. If it’s too much for the street, that’s what ESC is for. And once I install the Sxth Element end links, I’ll be able adjust it back to near stock.
Yea I should've specified that I meant overall (during and outside of autocross) if it seems to spin too easily. You'd obviously need to build up some speed for it to happen.
Let’s avoid giving out incorrect info. It’s on SXTH’s website and was already referenced in post #14.
Not technically a new part, but since our G4KH shares very similar traits as the Genesis Coupe 2.0T plant, some aftermarket parts will be compatible, such as this:

Picked up for $52. It was so cheap I sprung for overnight shipping and even with tax it was just under $92.
Now I can install my WAI kit. Throttle response is a bit smoother and more granular. Little bump in fuel economy. ECM is still adapting so nothing to report on power improvement. I had these made for the VT1 and it was one of the best cheap foundational mods that has multiple positive effects and zero negatives.
Biggest surprise when installing was that there is no coolant going through the TB... Huzzah!

Magna Flow has at least started to project and advertised a Catback System coming.

Freer flowing exhaust, change in sound output and tonal qualities, less back pressure, more performance etc.. Sometimes it comes down to personal taste and aesthetics. Wait till some of the aftermarket companies like ARK, Meisterschaft, Remus and others, you'll understand what I mean. Listen to some of the i30N exhausts on You Tube you'll hear the differences. There are also links posted on this forum to those i30 Exhausts
For our cars the exhaust "upgrades" are mostly just for sound. The stock exhaust is a 2.5" ID from beginning to end which will support a decent amount of power (more than the stock turbo can produce) and the muffler, when the exhaust valve is open, is a true straight-through design that completely bypasses any muffling/restrictions.
You'll still notice a bit of a power bump from upgrading to a 3" or larger turbo back system, but it won't be too drastic an increase.
