Kevin's car might not be for everyone but we can't knock someone for having fun in their car. I used to set off car alarms in my Pontiac and Subaru, and I once showed off my new K&N intake to some co-workers, revving my Jetta VR6 as if I had just purchased an Agera R.

Yep. Annoying. And you know your injecting fuel on deacceleration to make it do that. When most cars shut off fuel to save gas. Your wasting gas, annoying people, and shortening the life of your engine, just to draw attention to yourself. I'm over that crap. If it doesn't make the performance improvement...no thanks.

You don't really need to upgrade those. As much as you want to condesend. If all they care about is a 0-60 it doesn't matter. Stock brakes are always good for a few stops. not good once heat soaked on a track though.
The excessive pops on this car are a result of an option added to his tune. Zack will be reviewing my Elantra Sport in March and it will not have them.
This owner is full of it! This car full bolt on to a full bolt on si isn’t going to walk it by miles. I understand he loves his car but let’s be realistic. Then he said the Elantra handles better than a Veloster! This owner is one of those guys who’s “my stuff is better than anyone else’s. “
Kwezzy the veloster n will walk away from it when it comes to handling and the fiesta st will kill it I like the elantra but this owner need to know his place
@@micahhill4786 I don't think any sane person would compare the elantra to a veloster n, of course the veloster n would destroy it. But compared to the veloster that was available when this car came out, handling would be a wash.
Don't tell him the dual-clutch is "just like a Porsche" - he's gonna put that on his Plenty of Fish profile - "I pretty much drive a Porsche, what's up ladies?"
Car seems great and fun to handle. The crackle and pop tune gets really annoying after awhile. I like when the car does it naturally and not faked due to a tune.
My 2018 Elantra only really pops and cracks when it's cold and inconsistently on downshifts (6MT), but they're more like backfires than popcorn pops. I want the middle ground of his tune and my car which just has a resonator delete, which honestly is the most tasteful exhaust mod for the car, where the pops are more consistent but not as annoying, something more in line with the N Line Vestor with the active exhaust.
Cameron he should just bite the bullet and learn to drive stick. that’s the problem with kids these days they don’t want to take the time to learn to make things better for themselves.
Luboslav Bujnak Of course he would, Matt’s family are tycoons so of course Matt grew up full of himself and douchey. This guy probably had alcoholic dysfunctional parents and is proud of his Hyundai. Why accept his car for review just to put him down?
Just so everyone knows the pops from the exhaust were an option he added with the tune. The standard exhaust does pop from time to time but it's not overboard like this one. Also, intake + exhaust + tune will not get you 240whp on this car. Especially on the stock intercooler. Looking forward to Zack having a go at my car in March, it's properly set up for a good canyon carving session. :) Overall it's a great car for the money, I paid $18k for my 2017 6MT.
Yeah I knew he was full of shit when he said his mods, then was like oh yeah 240 to the wheels 😂😂 (made up), doesn't get much better for him as they go along either.
cnon he’s making maybe 220ish to the wheels. I have a tuned ES with an upgraded intercooler/exhaust/intake. I’m around 230/288 ft lbs. Only way you’re touching 240 on stock turbo in these is FBO, a good tune and meth.
It would be a better choice, the stock turbo in a new civic si tops out way closer to 300whp with mods and a tune. I was surprised that he was maxing his out at only 240whp. The manual trans in the civic is way better than the hyundai as well
@@ebatr8 No offense to this guy but that car is not making 240whp. This car tops out at 250whp on the stock turbo with full bolt-ons and he just doesn't have it. Also, the 6MT in the Elantra Sport is great, can hold a lot of power. The shifter might be worse than the Si, but that's subjective. My car has a short shifter and aluminum bushings on the cables and it's pretty nice.
@@JTube571 Why would you offend me? Regardless of what his car makes 240-50ish whp seems weak for bolt ons, a tune, and an e85 blend even for a small turbo. For reference a completely stock Si can make 270whp with loads of torque on the stock turbo with just a flex fuel blend and tune. I didn't judge the trans by just throw length, I've driven the elantra sport and for the price it's impressive but the manual trans in the Si just feels better especially since it's packing an LSD.
@@ebatr8 I meant no offense to the owner of the car. 250whp is the most you will get out of the stock turbo. I own one of these and I've been around since they hit dealers. I also have a facebook group with over 2k members. We've seen it and the tuners have experienced it. FBO + tune + meth injection will get you 260 if you are lucky, but don't hold your breath. Si stock turbo is bigger than the ES. Aftermarket LSD is available.
He's going to flip this one too. Dude is worrying about a bigger turbo more than his wheels tires and suspension. And he wants to make it a can you car LMAO.
Nah. The owner of SXTH Element drove a 407 whp hyundai for over 100,000 miles. Even had a car seat in the back. If done properly, modifying a car doesn't necessarily affect reliability. This guy's tune is rather moderate. Sounds awful, though.
I raced this guy on the street when he had his kia forte... Smoked him in a stock mini Cooper JCW. I see him driving around by house all the time, its pretty funny hearing the pop's, people are so confused when they see a kia making all that noise lol
I own the exact trim this guy has. I chose this over the Si and trust me everyone gave me crap for it. As a daily driver it’s not bad at all. Decently optioned. However, this car seems to be over done with the pops. The platform has plenty of potential (see bisimoto) but I cannot agree with the owner saying it handles better than Veloster. Like Zack said it needs some suspension upgrades and chassis enhancements and you will have a decent driver. Sidenote I have driven and owned plenty of cars and can’t bash Hyundai. They are going on a direction and taking risk that other manufacturers aren’t doing at this time. Whether it will hurt them or not you have to respect that they have the balls to try
I owned a 2017 Elantra limited, now have a 2019 Veloster 1.6T, veloster handles better, and sounds better but only when you put your foot down. Turbo lag is almost nonexistent, fully spooled at 2.5k rpm. It very peppy for a Hyundai.Those who do not know will be surprised Hyundai is not the joke it was in the past. 4 or 5 years in fia wrc with top 3 finishes most years is rare from a rookie Motorsport team, one of the major reasons I started buying Hyundai.
i did that when i was young. dumped a ton of money into a cheap eco car. I should have just saved and put that money down on a real car. probably would have been cheaper in the longrun but it was a blast to make a slow car somewhat quick
cracks and pops are pretty cool but nothing beats a 6speed.. lmao had to edit to include: "bigger turbo, why are you doing this? Im going to make it a canyon car." lol how bout suspension and tires?
Nah. He wants to go fast but doesn't think about tire grip which helps with stopping or pads/fluid. Guy sounds like he doesn't know much about cars but is trying to sound like he does.
240whp?!?!?! why’s everyone else on the forums with these same mods barely making 200whp? is everywhere you go the air filled with nitrous or something? LOL come on dude
The car has 201 hp off the bat so a few simple mods can get you 39 more hp read about the car before you speak on it I have one and I can keep up with a STI don't knock it because one just mite smoke your POS
Im a fan of crackles but this is crackling literally all the time, which means fuel is being dumped in the cat all the time. It honestly sounds terrible and its going to definitely have adverse effects
As an Elantra Sport owner myself, I just wanted to offer my own opinion on this car...for starters, it's a Hyundai, so if you get one new, be prepared to lose big time in the end (Mine was $23K + TTL when new, now is $12-13K with only 30K miles, in not even 2 years). Secondly you HAVE to get these cars with a manual, the EcoSHIT Dual Clutch wears out way too fast (mine's been in the shop 8 times for transmission errors). Also beware of Hyundai service centers, not had good luck there either. It can be a fun car to drive no doubt, but again, be forewarned if you do decide to get one of these beforehand.
OOOHHH, he's going to wish for some better brakes in 3 to 6 months! The only issue I have without Hyundai : the damn brakes. This car looks like fun all around though.
@@IReahpZz To make 240whp on this car you need full bolt-ons, including upgrading the intercooler. This particular car does not have that. He's making 220 at best.
I bought my Elantra Sport for 2 reasons. First, better looks. Second, I drove it off the lot for $18k brand new. Not doing that with an Si. There's is a lot of value in this car.
@@991carreras3 I don't think so, are you sure you don't mean the Type R? That car is certainly hideous. Elantra looks like a Kia Forte... Civic Si has stick, etc, etc. For me Civic Si no brainer.
Y'all are clowning with these comments. Way too many pop and crackles for my taste but good on him for setting up his car in a way that makes him happy. Lord knows I was being obnoxious as hell when I Turo'd a F-Type recently. Thanks for the content Zack. I wasn't a big fan of this particular video mainly because of the car but I watched the whole thing. And now I'm going to check out the TST Steve Dinan interview you referenced. Grateful.
This is why I'm big on no dct cars besides high performance high dollar cars; everything about this kid screams hypebeast( the cut, champion shirt) and they're the ones who ruin the car scene with shit builds/ignorant arrogance. Having manuals kept most of the kids away because they're lazy now it's getting more and more prominent
I'm looking into modding my first car and looking for some advice. I bought a 2020 elantra sport and I wanna increase the hp, but also wanna avoid the popping noise. What mods could I add? And is it even worth it?
Why does Smoking tire keep bringing on these examples of modded Hyundais and Kia...the last one of the Kia Koup damn near killed me. There are way better examples of builds out there.... Also to the owner of the car, please delete pops and crackles asap....you'll appreciate it later when you don't have to tow it home after some unexpected renovations to your turbine.
@FRtôge Entitled? Am I entitled for choosing what I want to watch? I'm not saying Zach is doing a bad job. I just don't really like his content. I'm not saying I expect this channel to put the host in the title. I'm just asking because you miss every shot you don't take. I can't make better car reviews than Zach, but that doesn't mean that I have to watch his for some reason. I subscribed for Matt and I watch his videos. You calling me entitled is not going to change that
Everyone talking shit on the guy just cause he’s doing something different honestly. Who cares if the car doesn’t make a bajillion horsepower or isn’t stick. It’s cool to see typically non modded cars done up, it’s what keeps the car community growing.
@@SmashGhost I think cloth might be more desirable these days tbh. Love it in my Jeep. Never gets hot or sticky, super durable, and I'm not the kind of person that stains their car seats with food and drink spills
Im gonna skip talking about the popcorn pops, so for anyone interested in this car here's my take, as someone who has owned an elantra sport for the last 3 months I can definitely say it's a great car! It feels more like an Audi A3 than a Hyundai which is pretty nuts for a mid 20k car!
Ok after watching this entire video I wish I hadn’t. This guy is sooo full of himself and bro I’m sorry but the only car you think is as good as a Forte is an Elantra?? Lmaooooo bruh. Oh and btw the mod support on the SI is way better and FBO vs FBO won’t “walk it by miles” yikes man come back down to reality a Camry v6 would walk you with your FBO so... Edit: spelling
It sounds broken... overuse of pops and crackles is the 2018 equivalent of whistle tips and spinners.
High compression modern engine and cutting fuel on deceleration will do that.

Yeah he did
Why would he buy this car and then dump money into mods? Why not pay more up front for a sports car?? And something manual.....
XtechnoPOLAKX because he probably doesn’t now how to drive a manual.
i did that when i was young. dumped a ton of money into a cheap eco car. I should have just saved and put that money down on a real car. probably would have been cheaper in the longrun but it was a blast to make a slow car somewhat quick
Because his mom probably would co sign for a sports car
Zack, why did it look like you wanted to wipe of the Hyundai off your hand after the hand shake? 😂😂😂
Welcome To The Madness he felt the rice in that guys hands
Because he saw the herpes.
Jose Lopez how is his car riced? It’s tuned n everything. Only problem is the obsessive pops he wanted in his tune.
An auto Hyundai... Why is this even being reviewed?
DSG*
Jimbo Trax Turbo whatever subdivision of automatic you’d like to call it, there is still no 3rd pedal... meaning it’s automatic
@@MrJimbo666 *DCT. DSG is VW.
@@MrJimbo666 NO CLUTCH NOT A MANUAL
AD1 it has two clutches though
Damn, Matt lost a lot of weight and height.
Angry Beard Man and grew some hair on his head
Love Zacks subtle "WTF are you talking about" moments he mask as a suggestion for improvement lol
So it wasn't just me who noticed then 😂
Does Wells Fargo know about their car about to be blown up?
5:55 “UmmmmMmmMm honestly, I’m gnna turn it into a canyon car” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’ll abide by the adage that ‘If you don’t have anything nice to say”..........
Every first date: “what’s wrong with your car?”
Just....why?
I'm sitting here waiting for the exhaust to fall off
I really like the Elantra sport. It looks a lot better than the overstyled Civic in my opinion.
Hell yeah. Much better looking.
Might wanna keep stuffing those biscuits because cars are not for you.
cracks and pops are pretty cool but nothing beats a 6speed.. lmao had to edit to include: "bigger turbo, why are you doing this? Im going to make it a canyon car." lol how bout suspension and tires?
Nah. He wants to go fast but doesn't think about tire grip which helps with stopping or pads/fluid. Guy sounds like he doesn't know much about cars but is trying to sound like he does.
Canyon car needs brakes and better handling. Someone is going to kill themselves after that big turbo install doing canyon runs.
This dude's haircut explains everything wrong with this video.
Wish he would have got it caught in the sunroof when he closed it
He looks like Conway twitty and jerseyshore had a baby
7:35 the camera man has a shadow but not his gimbal and camera :O
Lol tf
240whp?!?!?! why’s everyone else on the forums with these same mods barely making 200whp? is everywhere you go the air filled with nitrous or something? LOL come on dude
I Have an Elantra Sport and I'm making atleast 600whp when I'm sleeping.
He's probably making 240hp to the crank, not the wheels
The car has 201 hp off the bat so a few simple mods can get you 39 more hp read about the car before you speak on it I have one and I can keep up with a STI don't knock it because one just mite smoke your POS
robert 512 😂
Thats not No2 thats in the air.
Its all the shit that the owner and Tork are talking, lol.
Im a fan of crackles but this is crackling literally all the time, which means fuel is being dumped in the cat all the time. It honestly sounds terrible and its going to definitely have adverse effects
All crackle pop tunes dump raw fuel into your cat. All crackle pop tunes have adverse effects on cars. Its a turpid ricer fad that needs to die.
Cringe video and owner lol
AND ON THAT BOMB SHELL! GOODNIGHT!
S2k.Choche I like your style👌🏽
Just like a porsche.... Lol
Haha 240 to the wheels, I call bs lol. This car tops out around 240 with fbo and meth om stock turbo. Take your tork tune home
whatajoke tork junkies are back at it again 😭
Tork aka "Goofy" or "John the Spouse Beater Bushbaum" is at it again with his snake oil products auck yuck.
I thought Tork was booted from the Hyundai community already, what the fook, lol....
Te Shuk'la Solus Why was he booted? Tork as in Tork Motorsport Damnfastdd?
You guys dubbed over the car noises with fireworks sound effects! Happy New Years to you too.Pop! Pop! Snack! Crackle! Pop!
😂🤣😂🤣🤣
I'd respect that car a lot more without the obnoxious exhaust.
As an Elantra Sport owner myself, I just wanted to offer my own opinion on this car...for starters, it's a Hyundai, so if you get one new, be prepared to lose big time in the end (Mine was $23K + TTL when new, now is $12-13K with only 30K miles, in not even 2 years). Secondly you HAVE to get these cars with a manual, the EcoSHIT Dual Clutch wears out way too fast (mine's been in the shop 8 times for transmission errors). Also beware of Hyundai service centers, not had good luck there either. It can be a fun car to drive no doubt, but again, be forewarned if you do decide to get one of these beforehand.
Looking forward to this trend dying like rattle can paint jobs and "I heart h8rs" windshield banners
As an owner of a stock 18 sport 6 speed, better tires make it so much better
OOOHHH, he's going to wish for some better brakes in 3 to 6 months! The only issue I have without Hyundai : the damn brakes. This car looks like fun all around though.
Frederic Purenne hyundai brakes are terrible first mod I would do to the elantra and a veloster is put ceramic brake pads and that’s it
Better rotors, pads, stainless lines and some good fluid are sufficient at this power level.
*240 HP and an open diff. One wheel burnouts galore!*
Not sure what was more annoying, the exhaust or the owner talking about his "bas ass" car.
I’m in me mums car
Get out me car
GrassyHair Bring me car home
The "Sti" sticker added the 40 hp.
STY - look again.
Wtf. Does that stand for shitty tool yolo??
"Streets of Willow...that would be a great track for this" LOL comedy gold
Wonder how many times he's gotten pulled over by the police, thinking it's gun shots lol.
Why is it popping.... are the injectors leaking
A rental car with "240whp" (unlikely)... no thanks.
Hate to say it but basic Boltons and a tune will put out 240whp and near 300tq. And a far nicer interior than a civic si, or any car really at 18-20k.
Why is 40 over stock “unlikely”, it’s more like “beyond realistic”...do your research brother.
@@ElmerTFudge 240whp is 280-300 crank hp, big difference. These cars make that with fbo and a tune but it's more like an 80-100hp difference
...you can rent Ferraris and Lamborghinis...what's your point...?...
@@IReahpZz To make 240whp on this car you need full bolt-ons, including upgrading the intercooler. This particular car does not have that. He's making 220 at best.
Should’ve bought a Civic si
The civic si is one ugly over styled car on the road.
I would agree
The looks can be the last thing about the car but it is much more special than the Elantra like it has better performance and has LSD
@@991carreras3 looks are not important as there are even uglier cars than the Civic
The Civic Si has more aftermarket support than the Elantra
I bought my Elantra Sport for 2 reasons. First, better looks. Second, I drove it off the lot for $18k brand new. Not doing that with an Si. There's is a lot of value in this car.
@@991carreras3 I don't think so, are you sure you don't mean the Type R? That car is certainly hideous. Elantra looks like a Kia Forte... Civic Si has stick, etc, etc. For me Civic Si no brainer.
🤦🏻♂️ cringe worthy, what a joke haha 🤣
Happy New Year Zack. Keep up the great work man.
Honestly, a pretty sweet set up if it weren’t for the overrun tune and the STI sticker 😪
Sticker says STY
Y'all are clowning with these comments. Way too many pop and crackles for my taste but good on him for setting up his car in a way that makes him happy. Lord knows I was being obnoxious as hell when I Turo'd a F-Type recently. Thanks for the content Zack. I wasn't a big fan of this particular video mainly because of the car but I watched the whole thing. And now I'm going to check out the TST Steve Dinan interview you referenced. Grateful.
This is why I'm big on no dct cars besides high performance high dollar cars; everything about this kid screams hypebeast( the cut, champion shirt) and they're the ones who ruin the car scene with shit builds/ignorant arrogance. Having manuals kept most of the kids away because they're lazy now it's getting more and more prominent
New one take woohoo!!!! Yhabks for doing these Zach. Appreciate the work and time you put into these and the awesome editing you guys do.
* *Inserts Tokyo Drift Hyundai diss meme here.* *
The real story here is how good new Hyundais look. Say what you want, that is a nice looking sedan.
Pat W same junk underneath. I know, I worked on these for 4 years everyday and now work for Kia (basically the same cars).
@@CamaroAmx You couldn't have worked on these for 4 years because they've only been out for 2. Nice try.
j-Tube i worked at Hyundai for 4 years and now work at Kia as a master tech. Reading comprehension not your strong point....
@@CamaroAmx "worked on these" could mean anything, Jack.
An auto Hyundai?......... cool. 🤦♂️
It's a dct... Just as fun as a manual and lightning quick shifts
Your definition of “fun” and mine are very different
@@davidrobinson3148 "just as fun" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm not initiated but is there a way to have it sound better than stock but not have the pops?
Don't get a tune with pops added.
A Automatic hyundai to close out the year? Sad.
Damn why does it sound broken?
That exhaust is ridiculous by the way
The only things this amazing car is missing is a couple of AutoZone stick on 'DUB' badges. Once he puts that - it will be best in class.
Uhh yeah I’ll take my SI over this any day.
He says he test drive the veloster N? I dont think they hit dealers yet
Hitting dealers as we speak.
Struggling to say anything positive about it 😂😂😂👌
😂😂😂🤣🤣
I'm looking into modding my first car and looking for some advice. I bought a 2020 elantra sport and I wanna increase the hp, but also wanna avoid the popping noise. What mods could I add? And is it even worth it?
Why does Smoking tire keep bringing on these examples of modded Hyundais and Kia...the last one of the Kia Koup damn near killed me. There are way better examples of builds out there....
Also to the owner of the car, please delete pops and crackles asap....you'll appreciate it later when you don't have to tow it home after some unexpected renovations to your turbine.
David Santiago there not bad cars it different when people do something different from everyone else
@@richiewrx1549 I have one my dude, semi full bolt on (not doing a downpipe)...I'm not ripping the brand at all...
In the car it sounds like a tire blew out when the pops start.
Why are the comments are so triggerd? Imagine being mad over someone else's car 🤣🤣 some of u guys need another hobby or something
People should build what they want, have fun with a car, and learn as they age. Kevin is having fun, and that's what cars are for. -ZK
medium modified is like 5 bolt on items now? I mean I'd use that term when I replaced heads and cam plus every bolt on available
I love pops and crackles, but that's too much.
Yo zack, can u ask him if he tried Seoulfulracing tuning shop? They do Hyundai and Genesis brands
They don't make anything for this car. (yet) Top brands here are Lap3, BTR, SXTH Element, Pierce Motorsports, KDM Tuners.
Can you guys please start putting the host of the video in the title? Saves me from clicking on the wrong video's
His name is on the intro screen a few seconds in.
@@JTube571 I know. That's my usual away clicking point. It was just a question and "no" is an answer too.
@FRtôge Entitled? Am I entitled for choosing what I want to watch? I'm not saying Zach is doing a bad job. I just don't really like his content. I'm not saying I expect this channel to put the host in the title. I'm just asking because you miss every shot you don't take.
I can't make better car reviews than Zach, but that doesn't mean that I have to watch his for some reason. I subscribed for Matt and I watch his videos. You calling me entitled is not going to change that
It's pretty simple man, if it's a press car it usually has the model year in the title and it's Matt. If it's a fan's car, its Zach.
Everyone talking shit on the guy just cause he’s doing something different honestly. Who cares if the car doesn’t make a bajillion horsepower or isn’t stick. It’s cool to see typically non modded cars done up, it’s what keeps the car community growing.
Manual is so much better than the Hyundai DCT 7 speed. Shame he went auto like most women
Yeah only women drive automatics haha haha.. But seriously the DCT is way quicker.
That dct shifts like lightning. Chill
What mods have you done to achieve 240WHP?
Hilarious review. Good job with this meme of a car. What a way to butcher a great sporty commuter
What tune did you use
Own one. It might be totaled though. These little things are a ton of fun to drive and really nice for the money. Leather heated seats. Solid car.
"Leather" heated seats... welcome to 1994.
SmashGhost 😂😂 right.
@@SmashGhost I think cloth might be more desirable these days tbh. Love it in my Jeep. Never gets hot or sticky, super durable, and I'm not the kind of person that stains their car seats with food and drink spills
@@SmashGhost They are leather where you sit. Boo hoo
The pops are so aggressive because of the DCT
Burn it
Im gonna skip talking about the popcorn pops, so for anyone interested in this car here's my take, as someone who has owned an elantra sport for the last 3 months I can definitely say it's a great car! It feels more like an Audi A3 than a Hyundai which is pretty nuts for a mid 20k car!
Armo
240whp is heavily modified?? Is this platform that limited?
Ok after watching this entire video I wish I hadn’t. This guy is sooo full of himself and bro I’m sorry but the only car you think is as good as a Forte is an Elantra?? Lmaooooo bruh. Oh and btw the mod support on the SI is way better and FBO vs FBO won’t “walk it by miles” yikes man come back down to reality a Camry v6 would walk you with your FBO so...
Edit: spelling
This car is not heavily modified. But, the tiny stock turbo with full bolt-ons is only good for 250whp.
