Hyundai Accent Exhaust Tips
We source exhaust tips for every Accent generation sold in South Africa, then check the fit against your VIN before it leaves the warehouse
What Are Hyundai Accent Exhaust Tips?
Exhaust tips are the visible chrome or stainless trim on the back of your Hyundai's silencer — cosmetic on i20 and Accent standard trims, functional-looking on N models with twin-outlet setups. They don't add power but do clean up the rear of the car after years of SA road grime.
Signs You Need New Exhaust Tips
How we match exhaust tips to your Accent
What changes across the range
Sold here across X3, LC, MC and RB, the Accent is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.
The Accent ran for so long in South Africa that the same name covers four distinct platforms — the change from the Alpha to the Gamma petrol family is the single biggest fitment dividing line.
Worth knowing: the Accentthe RB generation is a close relative of the Kia Rio of the same era.
What we check on exhaust tips
- •The generation code, because Accent parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this Accent was sold with Alpha 1.5/1.6 (X3, LC), Alpha II 1.6 (MC), Gamma 1.6 (RB) and U-line 1.5/1.6 CRDi on selected RB-era derivatives
- •The model year and engine code, and which section has failed
- •Whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within its generation
In South Africa the Accent is mostly one of the deepest used-parts pools of any Hyundai in the country, which is exactly why sourcing to the correct generation matters more here than on a newer car. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Accent Exhaust Tips: Common Questions
Will exhaust tips from another Accent fit mine?
Not automatically. The Accent sold in South Africa as X3, LC, MC and RB, and the Accent ran for so long in South Africa that the same name covers four distinct platforms — the change from the Alpha to the Gamma petrol family is the single biggest fitment dividing line. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Can you source exhaust tips for the Accent if local stock is dry?
Usually, yes. The Accent the RB generation is a close relative of the Kia Rio of the same era, which gives us a second catalogue to search when Hyundai-listed stock runs out. We will tell you what we are quoting rather than leaving you to guess.
How much do Hyundai exhaust tips cost?
Tips are the cheapest exhaust upgrade — budget aftermarket stainless clamp-on tips are affordable, while bolt-on OEM-look twin-outlet units for i20 N cost more. SA sourcing is through our supplier network. Send your model for a quote.
Do exhaust tips change the sound of a Hyundai?
Very little. A larger-diameter tip can add a slight resonance but most of the sound comes from the silencer and cat. If you want a deeper note, a silencer or full cat-back is the right job — tips are purely cosmetic on most Hyundais.
What size exhaust tip fits a Hyundai i20?
Standard i20 silencer outlet runs around 45-55 mm OD; i20 N often has a larger twin-outlet arrangement. Measure the outlet diameter first, or send us a photo. We match clamp-on tips to exact OD so they sit square and don't rattle.
Where can I buy Hyundai exhaust tips in South Africa?
We source clamp-on and weld-on tips nationally through our SA supplier network. I20 N and i30 N twin-outlet look-alikes are the most-requested. Send your model year and a photo of the current silencer for a quote.
