aFe Takeda Axle-Back - Veloster Turbo 2019-2021, Polished

2019-2021 Veloster Turbo Takeda polished-tip axle-back

The aFe 49-37012-P Takeda axle-back uses 3-inch to 2.5-inch mandrel-bent 304 stainless tubing, MIG welds and an integrated mitered merge collector. Two 4.5-inch polished 304 stainless clamp-on tips carry laser-etched Takeda logos. Current exact manufacturer application is gas turbo 1.6L Veloster, 2019-2021.

Key Features

• Selected aFe part 49-37012-P.
• 304 stainless main tubing and current MIG-welded construction.
• Integrated mitered merge collector and two selected 4.5-inch polished 304 stainless tips.
• Selected bill supplies a new front gasket, two flange-bolt/nut pairs and two distinct hanger brackets.
• Retain factory rubber isolation mounts; do not borrow the early Veloster replacement-mount arrangement.
• Manufacturer describes no cutting or modifications; confirm correct separate tightening settings for the actual fasteners.

Fitment

The current exact manufacturer and selected guide identify 2019-2021 Veloster turbo 1.6L. The independent full exact-part named table confirms both original scopes and the missing Turbo Ultimate range restored below. No naturally aspirated Veloster, 2.0L Veloster N or earlier-generation application is inferred.

Specifications

What's Included

• The 49-37012-P kit includes one axle-back assembly 05-145899, one new gasket 05-46300, two M10 nuts 03-50189, two 10mm hex-head cap bolts 03-50452, passenger bracket 05-46435, driver bracket 05-46436, four 1/4-20 serrated hex-flange screws 03-50100, four 1/4-20 nylon-insert locknuts 03-50073 and two selected polished tips 49T25454-P07. The shared finish alternatives are not eight supplied tips.
• Retain original rubber isolation mounts. No separate intake filter, coupler, catalyst, sensor, mid-pipe or new rubber-mount set is included by this axle-back bill.
• The selected guide prints a generic 40-45 ft-lb band-clamp setting, but the formal bill lists no separate band clamp and does not expressly assign that setting to the tip-fastener arrangement. Confirm correct tip-clamp applicability with aFe before applying it. It is not a flange-bolt, bracket-screw or universal fastener torque. Use correct separate settings, align then tighten front to rear, and retighten all clamps and hardware after 50-100 miles.

FAQ

It is the selected 304 stainless axle-back for the 2019-2021 Veloster Turbo 1.6L named applications, with two polished tips, a new gasket and two hanger brackets.

No. The selected bill is an axle-back assembly and its gasket, hardware, brackets and tips. The related mid-pipe is a separate product, not included content.

one axle-back assembly 05-145899, one new gasket 05-46300, two M10 nuts 03-50189, two 10mm hex-head cap bolts 03-50452, passenger bracket 05-46435, driver bracket 05-46436, four 1/4-20 serrated hex-flange screws 03-50100, four 1/4-20 nylon-insert locknuts 03-50073 and two selected polished tips 49T25454-P07. The shared finish alternatives are not eight supplied tips.

Use the supplied new 05-46300 flange gasket and supplied flange bolts/nuts. Retain factory rubber isolation mounts; do not borrow original-gasket reuse or two new isolators from the earlier Veloster kit.

Install distinct passenger 05-46435 and driver 05-46436 brackets on the selected axle-back assembly with the supplied 1/4-20 screws and nylon-insert nuts. The guide does not print a separate bracket torque or a front/behind ordering like other vehicles.

The selected guide prints a generic 40-45 ft-lb band-clamp setting, but the formal bill lists no separate band clamp and does not expressly assign that setting to the tip-fastener arrangement.

The exact-part named table supports Turbo Ultimate 2019-2021 as well as Turbo and Turbo R-Spec for the turbo 1.6L application. No 2.0L Veloster N approval is inferred.

The primary claims up to +8 hp/+8 lb-ft. At the linked chart marker of 5,341 rpm, axle-back versus baseline values are 181.10 versus 173.21 hp (+7.89 hp) and 184.18 versus 176.13 lb-ft (+8.05 lb-ft). Separate peak power differs by +6.40 hp (191.18 at 5,850 versus 184.78 at 5,800 rpm). Peak torque is LOWER by 7.91 lb-ft in the axle-back run: 221.24 at 3,810 versus 229.15 at 2,960 rpm. A positive marked-point difference is not a peak-torque gain. Both run notes specify aFe cold-air intake, stock wheels/tires, Sport mode, traction control off, fourth gear, 2,000-rpm start and blade fan; SAE 1.00 on February 19, 2020. Baseline is 1:14:20 PM versus axle-back 10:44:18 AM. The visible chart does not print selected production part number, finish or vehicle model year; no stock-intake or finish-specific guarantee is inferred.

Installation Instructions

1. Confirm aFe 49-37012-P against the exact vehicle and installed equipment. Inventory the actual components and follow the selected manufacturer instructions and current vehicle service requirements.
2. Confirm turbo 1.6L, named year range and selected polished tips. Confirm applicable tip tightening settings before installation. Cool and support vehicle and original exhaust safely.
3. Remove the original axle-back from its first flanged joint and factory rubber isolation mounts. Retain the rubber mounts.
4. Install selected axle-back with supplied new gasket, two 10mm flange bolts and two M10 nuts. Put its hanger into the factory rubber isolation mount.
5. Attach driver and passenger bracket assemblies with supplied 1/4-20 hardware, then install both selected polished clamp-on tips loosely. Do not substitute an earlier Veloster gasket or new-isolator procedure.
6. Align for safe clearance from wires, hoses, brake lines, body and tires. Tighten evenly front to rear using correct separately confirmed fastener settings; do not apply generic band torque to flange or bracket bolts.
7. Start, check and repair leaks, lower safely and retighten all clamps and hardware after 50-100 miles. No battery, sensor, brace or crossmember work is borrowed.
