Hyundai Santa Fe Exhaust Tips
Whether your Santa Fe is an early or late build, we match the exhaust tips to your derivative rather than to the badge
What Are Hyundai Santa Fe 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
Getting the right exhaust tips for your Santa Fe first time
Does one exhaust tips listing cover every Santa Fe?
No. On the Santa Fe, SM, CM, DM and TM are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.Five- and seven-seat derivatives differ well beyond the third-row seat itself — floor pan, trim, glass and rear HVAC parts all follow the seating configuration.
Which engine is in my Santa Fe?
SA-market cars were sold with Delta 2.7 V6 (SM), 2.2 CRDi (CM) and R-line 2.2 CRDi (DM, TM). The code stamped on the block settles it — the badge on the boot does not.
What do you need from me to quote exhaust tips?
The model year and engine code, and which section has failed. Catalytic converters and sensors are emissions-standard specific, so a part from a different market or a different production year of the same Hyundai may physically fit and still not satisfy the engine management.
In South Africa the Santa Fe is mostly the tow car of the range, so cooling, driveline and rear-suspension components carry loads the same parts never see on a lighter Hyundai. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Before You Order Santa Fe Exhaust Tips
Will exhaust tips from another Santa Fe fit mine?
Not automatically. The Santa Fe sold in South Africa as SM, CM, DM and TM, and five- and seven-seat derivatives differ well beyond the third-row seat itself — floor pan, trim, glass and rear HVAC parts all follow the seating configuration. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
How do you check exhaust tips actually fits a Santa Fe?
We work backwards from the VIN: generation first, then engine family, then whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. On the Santa Fe specifically, five- and seven-seat derivatives differ well beyond the third-row seat itself — floor pan, trim, glass and rear HVAC parts all follow the seating configuration.
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.
Let us confirm the exhaust tips before you buy
Photos of the old part and your VIN are usually all we need. We confirm the exhaust tips against your Santa Fe before quoting, not after.
