  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Here is the rundown:

2012 Genesis R-Spec 7000 miles, purchased new approx $41,000.

My only two hangups: A) NO AWD OPTION WTF and B) NO V8 RUMBLE, ALSO WTF (on the R-spec, really? it should sound like something)...

So I purchased the MSA secondary cat delete. This did absoloutly NOTHING and actually caused a strange exhaust leak noise under full throttle. Dont waste your money!

After Summit Racing failed to deliver my $1000 Borla order, I decided to go with Magnaflows 4.6L cat-back system #16497 an modify the rear tips to fit the 2012 model. Product cost $600 + $150 install (required welding at the tip). I must say the exterior sound is almost perfect, however the interior drone is excessive. I wanted to hear the V8 while driving, not feel like I was sitting inside a sub-woofer!

I will attempt to remedy this at a custom performance shop tmrw or return the vehicle to stock. Just wanted to share my experience, in case you are considering any of these mods.
