The i30 is one of Australia's most popular small cars, and its exhaust upgrade path is usually a cat-back system to add a sportier note and free up a small amount of flow, particularly on turbo-petrol variants. Fitment differs between the older GD generation and the newer PD generation, so it's worth confirming your exact model year and engine before ordering. If you're after more aggressive parts for the turbocharged hot hatch, head to our dedicated i30 N range, or browse the wider Hyundai collection for other model options.

Will a performance exhaust fit any Hyundai i30 model?

Fitment depends on the generation (GD or PD) and engine, so always confirm your exact model year before ordering to avoid a mismatch.

Does an i30 exhaust upgrade add real power?

A free-flowing cat-back system can free up a small amount of power, but most owners notice the biggest change is a deeper, sportier exhaust note rather than a dramatic power gain.

Is the i30 N exhaust different to the standard i30?

Yes. The i30 N generally uses a larger pipe diameter suited to its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, so parts aren't interchangeable with the standard i30 — check our i30 N collection instead.

What's involved in fitting an i30 exhaust?

Most cat-back systems bolt onto existing hangers and flanges. A qualified exhaust fitter can usually complete the job in under two hours with the right gasket and clamps on hand.
