ISR Performance 3" Stainless Steel Test Pipe | 2010-2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T | IS-TP-GEN20
ISR Performance 3” Stainless Steel Test Pipe – 2010–2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T | IS-TP-GEN20
⚠️ OFF-ROAD / TRACK USE ONLY — This test pipe replaces the factory catalytic converter. Removal of a catalytic converter is illegal for street use under federal, provincial/state, and local emissions regulations in most jurisdictions. Verify your local laws before purchasing. Not for use on public roads.
ISR Performance’s 3” stainless steel test pipe for the 2010–2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T (Theta II turbo). Straight-through design — replaces the factory catalytic converter with a direct 3” stainless steel section. Eliminates the factory cat’s flow restriction for improved exhaust flow on off-road and track builds. Direct bolt-on using factory mounting points. Includes mounting hardware.
What Is a Test Pipe
A test pipe (decat pipe) is a straight section of pipe that replaces the factory catalytic converter. The catalytic converter’s honeycomb substrate creates exhaust backpressure — particularly at high RPM and elevated boost levels on the Theta II turbo. Removing this restriction allows exhaust gases to exit the turbine housing more freely, reducing backpressure and improving turbo spool and high-RPM flow. The result is improved power output and a more aggressive exhaust note. This is an off-road / track-only modification — it is not legal for street use.
CEL Note
Removing the catalytic converter will trigger a check engine light (CEL) from the downstream O2 sensor detecting the absence of the catalyst. Address this with an O2 sensor spacer/simulator (sold separately) or an ECU tune that disables rear O2 sensor monitoring. This is expected and normal after cat removal.
Key Features
- 3” Stainless Steel: Full 3” bore stainless construction — corrosion resistant, handles exhaust heat long-term
- Straight-Through: No catalytic substrate — maximum exhaust flow for off-road and track use
- Direct Bolt-On: Engineered for the 2010–2016 Genesis Coupe 2.0T — uses factory mounting points. Includes hardware
- Off-Road / Track Only: Not emissions-legal for street use
Fitment
- 2010–2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T — Theta II turbocharged
Off-road and track use only. Removal of catalytic converter is illegal for street use in most jurisdictions — verify local emissions laws before purchasing. CEL will likely occur after installation — O2 sensor spacer or ECU tune required to clear. Professional installation recommended. Allow exhaust to cool completely before installation. Pre-soak factory hardware with penetrating oil. Check for exhaust leaks after installation.
