Default What kind of exhaust for a Santa Fe?

I want to add something to my Santa Fe to give it a little more of a growl. Problem though is that most exhausts are made for imports and I definitely dont want a rice cannon sticking out the back. Any one know where I can get an exhaust made for my Santy or at least a good muffler to have put in that wont make me look like a ricer (can SUVs even be riced out???)?





Thanks.

I'd recommend having a chat with your local exhaust shop. A nice 2.5 inch mild steel system with can muffler should louden it just enough without being too raspy or annoying.

Replace the muffler with like a Magnaflow or cheap Flowtech muffler then have a normal sized tip installed out the back to look stock.
