2nd Gen 1.6T OEM Intercooler Hot Pipe Upgrade

Hi all, I bought this product for my Kia ceed gt 2019 (CD) 1.6tgdi two weeks ago.
My Kia ceed model is same compared to Elantra gt or Veloster gt with 1.6 tgdi.
I have read a lot of reviews and finally chose SXTH.
Communication with SXTH personal on very professional level.
Delivery to Slovakia in 1 week, superb.
Product quality is on very high level, maybe even better then OEM.
Product fits to my Kia perfect, no interference to another engine parts.
Better throttle response, and turbo spool.

This product was simple to install and looks great underneath the car. Only downside was the powder coating scratched off pretty quickly during install when it rubbed against a nut.

I originally bought this and the CPLT intake system to help out with the oscillating of my turbo spool when going under heavy throttle.

After installing both of these products the oscillation is gone , response is great and overall just a smooth feel to the spool now. Both of these parts added made for really nice noises too!

Definitely not a huge difference after installing but there was a change in the overall induction sound and maybe just the slightest pickup in acceleration.

The parts are well made and good looking, even though you really won’t be able to see this piece when looking at the car from the outside.

This product replaces the hot side intercooler piping, which from factory is a really strange multi piece thing that even has a sound resonator in it.

I had originally bought the intercooler resonator delete pipe for 30 bucks and had every intention of installing that during an oil change but I read reviews from people saying that the factory rubber pipes you connect the delete pipe too are crappy so if you can, just upgrade the whole thing to this solid one piece pipe.

The diameter of this pipe is maybe slightly larger than the factory ones but the elbows are factory sized so you can’t really be getting much air flow increase because the end pieces taper back down to exactly what they were from factory.

After having this installed for a bit I noticed a slightly louder induction noise but nothing really as far as a performance boost. I may have placebo’d myself into thinking the car was feeling more responsive honestly.

For whatever reason, Hyundai made this peppy motor with not so good solenoids so there is a lot of boost surging and power drop off. This part won’t address any of that. Go for solenoids, get those first and then get stuff like this, more of a support mod really.
