Hyundai Sonata & Kia Optima Test Pipe
*Optima cars that have a VIN starting with G*
The cp-e® exhaust system for the Optima/Sonata 2.0T comes in two sections: The QuickPower™ 2.0T Hyundai Sonata & Kia Optima Test Pipe and the Austenite™ Cat Back Exhaust. We have designed the cp-e® QuickPower™ pipe with thick laser cut flanges to bolt directly to your stock components or to the cp-e® catback exhaust. This 3" SS pipe is essentially a test pipe on steroids. It replaces the second catalytic converter on the vehicle, and runs from the downpipe back to the catback section. The cp-e® QuickPower™ 2.0T Hyundai Sonata & Kia Optima Test Pipe is available as a straight pipe with the option to add a resonator and/or a high flow cat. For the greatest performance and sound increase, choose both the QuickPower™ pipe and the Austenite™ Cat Back!
cp-e® does not use mild "junk" steel or even cut and welded intermediate bends on this pipe. Our exhaust systems are crafted from premium "bright annealed" 304 stainless steel and is mandrel bent to provide a less turbulent exhaust flow. The flanges are 3/8" thick, and laser cut 304 stainless steel for high strength and durability. All critical portions of the pipe are TIG welded. TIG welds are usually avoided in this industry because they require more time and skill than a MIG weld, despite the fact that TIG welds are better suited for thin metals, are better looking, and create a more durable bond. We held nothing back with this product.
