2010 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 Sedan Exhaust Options?
Posted by BLUEDOG418@reddit | askcarguys | View on Reddit | 2 comments
Hi, I am the owner of a 2010 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 sedan looking for an aftermarket exhaust option. Price range does not matter too much as I’m just looking for anything really. I cannot seem to find any aftermarket parts for this car.
Are there any suggested exhausts that would fit this car that sound aggressive? I’m looking for something to upgrade the sound not to wake the whole neighborhood. My friend is a mechanic and offered to straight pipe it but I feel like that is too much lol. Any suggestions are welcome.

Magniflow got some headers, get a xpipe in the resonators spot, and if you want remove the secondary cats should be good.

3 time first-gen 4.6 Genesis sedan owner here from a 2009 Tech in 2011 to a two different 2012s through 2024. My adult kid now has my last 2012 4.6.
Sorry to say there are little to no aftermarket anything for performance bolt-ons for these cars. The car sold too little volume and most of us "family men" were/are too old to mess with mods on our DDs and/or have weekend play-toys to make noise with. If you can read/speak Korean and have contacts in Korea, you may be able to get access to their KDM aftermarket. But that market doesn't reach North America. You won't want to pay the tariffs anyway.
The car is one of the last V8 luxury sedans that is available anywhere, and they're quite reliable once the HECU is replaced. If you look up the volumetric efficiency for the 4.6, you'll find it's already much more efficient than nearly all other normally aspirated V8's made in the early teens. And it runs on regular gas. Mods are unnecessary for most of us.
Most of what you can find will be on the genesisowners.com forms. There's a button at the top of the page to the shop Sal runs which supports the site. Mostly bling badges and wheel caps but there are a few mods. Most of what you can ever find will be available there. Sal is a great dude and the forum community is great.
But if you're intent on making it loud, go have a conversation with any local muffler shop or Asian performance shop. They can weld you up a set of whatever you want for however loud you want for however much you can afford. There was an old post 15 years ago or so on the forums were a guy made custom cutouts. If "look at me under the overpass" is your thing, check it out.
Welcome to the Genesis sedan life. It's a great car and they can be found cheap. But they are not cheap to keep on the road. Think BMW money. 100% of the OEM parts are imported from Korea and the HMA is the only supply network for most things, so they're very expensive. HECU/ABS units can be scarce, so rebuilds are the usual route.
