First, thanks for the links in the posts above. I've found some nice mats - yes, industrial rubber - that I'll get. I put these in my Toyota Highlander and they have been great at keeping the vehicle clean. Getting the car on Sat! To the point of the post - I saw this on a Hyundai dealer site in Delray FL. We live in Boston MA area and called our local dealer. They said that they've only installed one in 15 years. Have any of you installed these? We had them on our Subarus and it make a difference on cold days. http://www.hyundaioemparts.com/Sonata_EngineHeater.asp

Where and how do you access the central locking control module on an 06 sonata in order to program a key remote?

Anyone familiar with the B & B Performance Cold Air Intake? You can find it at the following link...It is the first Cold Air Intake I have seen for the Sonata. www.globalautoshop.com/accessories/automotive/hyundai_index.htm I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this and how well it works. Thanks! |

Here is a link to the custom dual exhaust on my 2009 Sonata Limited 2.4 Liter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avs-p8ieLoo The exhaust consists of custom Y Pipe feeding into two dual pipes. The mufflers are two Cherry Bomb Turbo Mufflers (actual three chamber mufflers, not the glass packs). The factory resonator is still installed and an aftermarket 15 inch long 3 inch wide "bullet" glass packed resonator is added prior to the custom Y pipe to tone it down since the factory resonator is actually quite un-restrictive and left the Cherry Bomb Turbo mufflers too loud and raspy. If you want anything close to a stock sound (which I actually wanted) use OEM replacement type mufflers and just remove the factory resonator to get a more aggressive sound. If you use aftermarket performance mufflers or else you will have to add a big bullet resonator (like I did) to quiet them down. The Cherry Bombs replaced two Magnaflows that I tried with the factory resonator. The result was a disaster. The drone was terrible and did not go away even at highway speeds. Every single time I stepped on the gas it droned terribly and you could hear it from a block away. Driving the car was almost unbearable. I tried the bullet with the Magnaflows and it was still too loud so I replaced them with the Cherry Bombs. I was hoping to remove the 15 inch bullet resonator and just use the Cherry Bombs by themselves but it was still too loud and buzzy. The car drives quite well now and is only slightly louder than stock with a nice muscular tone you can really hear it when you step on it. The car has a lot more personality now and is more fun to drive now (especially when you use the manumatic mode). If you go with a custom dual set up or you want to replace your factory muffler I would recommend replacing the factory resonator with a big straight through bullet resonator to tone it down. The factory resonator will not tone it down enough by itself so I would recommend just cutting it out. If you want to keep the factory mufflers appearance I would also recommend cutting out the factory resonator entirely and replacing it with straight pipe. My first attempt at a an exhaust modification was to replace the factory resonator with a smaller bullet and I was happy with the results. However, after seeing how un-restrictive it is I figured I would have been better off either leaving it alone or removing it entirely if I would have kept the stock muffler. If I were doing this all over again, I would try to get the stock exhaust from a wrecked 2007 or later V6 Sonata. After you remove the plate that covers the unused space on the left rear side of the Sonata it already has the screw holes where you can attach the hangers for the stock V6 exhaust. Plus you could also use the heat shield from the V6 Sonata (which I don't have). Also, go with a recommended shop with a reputation for doing good custom exhaust work. I actually had to have my exhaust completely re-done by a second shop when the first shop overcharged me for a truly horrible job.
