Hyundai Tucson Muffler
Muffler for the Hyundai Tucson — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which Tucson you are running
What Are Hyundai Tucson Muffler?
The muffler, or silencer, is the rear-most exhaust box that dampens sound waves leaving the engine. On Hyundai i20, Accent we see the rear silencer rust through at the weld seams long before the rest of the exhaust starts to corrode.

Tucson Muffler: what actually decides fitment
What changes across the range
Tucson owners are usually surprised by how much turns on the generation code — JM, LM, TL and NX4 all sold here.
The LM Tucson and the ix35 are the same vehicle sold under two names in different markets, so ix35 stock is a legitimate source for LM-generation parts and vice versa.
Worth knowing: the Tucsonruns in lockstep with the Kia Sportage — JM with KM, LM with SL, TL with QL, NX4 with NQ5.
What we check on muffler
- •The generation code, because Tucson parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this Tucson was sold with Beta II 2.0 (JM), Theta II 2.0 (LM), Gamma 1.6 T-GDi (TL), Nu 2.0 and R-line 2.0 CRDi (TL)
- •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 Tucson is mostly the family SUV that does school runs during the week and gravel-road holiday mileage over December, a duty cycle that is hard on suspension and cooling components. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Tucson Muffler FAQs
Will muffler from another Tucson fit mine?
Not automatically. The Tucson sold in South Africa as JM, LM, TL and NX4, and the LM Tucson and the ix35 are the same vehicle sold under two names in different markets, so ix35 stock is a legitimate source for LM-generation parts and vice versa. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
What should I send you when asking about Tucson muffler?
The VIN is the single most useful thing — a photo of the plate is fine. Failing that, the generation code and the engine code off the block. The Tucson ran as JM, LM, TL and NX4, so the generation is what narrows the search.
How much does a Hyundai muffler cost in South Africa?
SA muffler pricing ranges R100-R2,800. A twin-pipe stainless rear silencer lands around R999 at fitment centres. Pro Hyundai Spares and our supplier network carry stock for i20, Accent.
Why is my Hyundai exhaust so loud?
Nine times in ten the rear muffler has rusted through. A cracked manifold, a blown flex pipe or a fallen heat shield make it louder still. Crawl under the car with the engine idling to locate the leak by ear.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai silencer?
Fitted, budget R1,450-R4,650 at an SA indie for a quality stainless rear silencer. Mild steel is cheaper but often rots out inside three SA coastal winters. Stainless lasts a decade and sounds better too.
Can a rusty Hyundai muffler be repaired?
Small pinholes can be patched, but thin-wall perforation tears further as soon as you weld to it. Exhaust paste and bandage last a few weeks. A stainless replacement works out cheaper than repeated patch jobs.
