Cobra Sport, a renowned manufacturer of performance exhaust systems, has developed a range of products tailored for the Hyundai i30N, enhancing both its auditory presence and driving dynamics.
Product Offerings:
1. Cat-Back System:
Designed to maximise performance and sound, this system includes a 3 inch flex section and a Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) delete pipe. It's important to note that removing the GPF may not be road-legal in certain regions and could result in MOT failures. Therefore, Cobra Sport recommends the GPF-back system for those seeking compliance with road regulations.
2. GPF-Back System:
This system maintains the factory GPF while incorporating a rear back box silencer, ensuring full functionality of the original exhaust valve. When the valve is open, drivers experience a sharper, more aggressive exhaust note; when closed, the system produces a deep, refined burble. Constructed from high quality 3-inch (76.2mm) 304-grade stainless steel and fully TIG welded in Sheffield, this system exemplifies durability and craftsmanship. Cobra Sport backs this with a lifetime warranty, contingent upon registration.
Tailpipe Options:
To complement the i30N's aesthetics, Cobra Sport offers a selection of 4.5-inch tailpipes, including:
- Slash-cut stainless steel Jap style
- Inverted or inward rolled tips
- A premium carbon fibre variant
Each option enhances the vehicle's rear-end appearance, ensuring a distinctive on-road presence.
Performance and Sound:
The GPF-back system delivers a refined yet assertive tone, making it an ideal upgrade for daily drivers seeking a sportier edge. For those desiring a more exhilarating exhaust note, combining the GPF delete and flex section (to form a cat-back system) provides an unrestricted roar, suitable for track use. The i30N's valve function dynamically adjusts based on throttle input: under heavy acceleration, the exhaust note intensifies, creating an engaging driving experience; at cruising speeds, the valve closes, directing exhaust gases through the silencer for a deep but subdued tone, balancing performance with practicality.
Cobra Sport's exhaust systems for the Hyundai i30N offer an exciting blend of enhanced sound, improved performance, and high quality craftsmanship. With both cat-back and GPF-back options available, there's a setup to suit both road users and track enthusiasts.
