“Timing is everything” is an age-old adage that often rings true. In 2010, timing was definitely on Kia Motors’ side. With a stale reputation of being the manufacturer of inexpensive vehicles, Kia had been behind the scenes in the sport compact community for years. With the recent release of the Soul however, Kia has completely revamped its image. With that being said, the 2010 Kia Soul couldn’t have come at a better time for Kia Motors.

Adding to a growing lineup of box-shaped economy vehicles such as the Honda Element, Nissan Cube and Scion xB, the Kia Soul brings with it a unique style and plentiful list of features. The Soul, designed in Kia’s California-based Design Center, blends a combination of boxy shape and curvy bodylines to create an unusually attractive vehicle. In addition, the Soul is available with a slew of enthusiast “must-haves” such as steering wheel mounted audio controls, Bluetooth hands-free compatibility, auxiliary input jacks and much more.

One aspect of the Kia Soul that has left enthusiasts wanting more however is in the horsepower department. In an attempt to remedy this issue, Kia has offered the Soul with the choice of either an economical 1.6-liter engine or a more powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder powerplant. For horsepower-hungry enthusiasts that sprang for the 2.0-liter equipped Soul, even more horsepower is now available with the release of AEM‘s Axle-Back Exhaust System (part number: 600-0100).

With many criteria in mind, AEM‘s engineers tested several iterations of exhaust systems for the Kia Soul during the research and development stages. As data was collected and development continued, an axle-back version proved to offer the best combination of performance, sound and style. In this configuration, AEM concluded that 409 stainless steel tubing in a 2.5-inch diameter should be used to channel exhaust gases to a 304 stainless steel AEM muffler. From the high-flow muffler, a brushed stainless steel exhaust tip was welded with precision to mount in the factory exhaust exit location of the Soul’s rear bumper.

The new AEM Axle-Back Exhaust System for the Soul accents the Kia’s unique style appropriately. The system delivers a sporty sound while maintaining a comfortable drone-free cabin environment. On the dyno, the 600-0100 exhaust also enhances the Soul’s performance with additional horsepower and torque. A two horsepower increase was recorded at 5,500 RPM with the exhaust installed. Peak horsepower also realized an increase from 109 to 110 horsepower. Torque figures were increased by two ft/lb at 4,400 RPM as well. Additionally, peak torque increased from 106 to 107 ft/lb with the exhaust system in place. For an even bigger performance gain, AEM offers a Cold Air Intake System for the 2.0-liter Soul (part number: 21-691) that has been designed to complement the exhaust system. Testing of the air intake system revealed an increase of 6.67 horsepower at 6,500 RPM. The 21-691 cold air intake kit is available in either a polished finish (part number: 21-691P) or in a gunmetal gray finish (part number: 21-691C).

Since its introduction, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe has been subjected to several comparison-based reviews to higher-horsepower vehicles such as the Nissan 370Z and Ford Mustang. Despite the fact that the 2.0-liter turbocharged coupe generates a meager 210 horsepower, it has gone on to earn high accolades from performance enthusiasts. Additionally, the combination of aftermarket support and its tuner-friendly design has helped the four-cylinder coupe gain traction among its high-performance counterparts in the sports car market.

At the close of 2010, AEM had successfully released two components that greatly enhanced the four-cylinder Genesis Coupe’s performance. AEM’s 21-687C Cold Air Intake for the 2.0L Coupe was the first component to be released to the aftermarket community by AEM and it offered an estimated increase of seven horsepower, which is substantial. Following the availability of the Cold Air Intake system, AEM introduced a comprehensive bolt-in charge air intercooler system (part number: 26-2100C), which afforded a significant reduction in post intercooler air temperature for the turbocharged coupe.

To further embrace the “total tuning” concept, AEM now announces the release of its Turbo-Back Exhaust System for the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe with the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (part number: 600-0600). AEM‘s all-new exhaust systems aim to provide an increase in performance and power along with a sporty sound while maintaining OEM standards in fit and finish.

For the 600-0600 exhaust system, AEM began construction by gathering high-quality components. Three-inch diameter 304 stainless steel mandrel-bent tubing was used throughout the system. Additionally, every connection utilizes OEM-quality 3/8-inch thick stainless steel flanges and O-rings. Even the four exhaust tips of the 600-0600 exhaust system are brushed stainless steel.

As for the actual layout of the system, AEM opted to retain the OEM routing paths in order to maintain OEM clearances to all critical systems. In doing so, AEM chose to begin the exhaust system at the turbo manifold. From the turbo manifold, the 600-0600 system includes a mandrel-bent downpipe with an integrated braided-steel section to ensure that any vibrations in the system are isolated from the chassis. Between the included downpipe and mid-pipe, the factory catalytic converter is retained. Following the mid-pipe to the rear of the vehicle, a single center-entry 304 stainless steel muffler was selected to vent the spent exhaust gases. Exiting the muffler are four OEM-quality brushed stainless steel exhaust tips.

On the dyno, the Genesis Coupe’s 600-0600 Exhaust System proved to enhance horsepower and torque output of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 600-0600 exhaust system showed an estimated maximum gain of 12 horsepower at 5,600 RPM. Estimated peak horsepower was also improved from the stock baseline of 157 horsepower to 162 horsepower at the wheels with the exhaust system installed. Estimated torque output gained 14 ft/lb at 2,700 RPM with the exhaust in place. While these dyno numbers reflect the performance gains of the exhaust system alone, even more power can be gained with the addition of AEM’s Cold Air Intake System (21-687C) and Intercooler Kit (26-2100) as AEM has designed the 600-0600 Exhaust System to specifically complement those performance components.
