2007 Hyundai Sonata SE 3.3L V6
6.6sec 0-60 family sedan, nothing special but still very fun to drive hard. I’ve had it since 26,000 miles, currently at 147,000 or so. Always do my own work on it, including timing chains/tensioners/guides, upper & lower ball joints, 4 new rotors. Put on 2 thrush high flow mufflers with 2.5” piping to a high flow Y pipe, then connects to factory 2.5” piping with 3rd CAT & resonator deleted. Tried a short ram intake (pictured) but went back to factory airbox with K&N filter and took out intake res box in front corner so it draws cold air from there, also has a front air scoop just under the hood.
Comments
Replacing timing chains
wear from failing tensioner
The 3.3 engine is packed so tight between the shock towers that I had to remove two engine mounts, an axel and jack up the one side of the engine so the aluminum timing cover comes off.
can i get a pic of the full car
Sure thing. I just didn’t have any available on the computer that I used to make my profile. I’ll take one and put it out here.
Very dirty ATM

Strut bar, made for a 2nd gen eclipse but fits our NF Sonatas with small modifications.
Stock 16”ers, very strong brakes, power stop drilled&slotted rotors w/ their ceramic pads.
