Learn how the BRExhaust 106-0774 direct-fit exhaust kit fits 2012-2017 Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent models, what's included, and installation tips.
Quick answer
The BRExhaust 106-0774 is a direct-fit exhaust system kit designed for 2012-2017 Kia Rio 1.6L and Hyundai Accent 1.6L models, including all necessary gaskets and clamps for a straightforward replacement.
Why choose a direct-fit kit over universal parts?
Direct-fit kits like the BRExhaust 106-0774 are pre-bent and flanged to match the original exhaust layout, so you avoid cutting, welding, or custom fabrication. This saves time and reduces the chance of leaks or misalignment. Universal pipes may require extra adapters and skill to install correctly.
What's included in the box?
The kit comes with precision mandrel-bent pipes, all required gaskets, and clamps. Mandrel bending keeps the inner diameter consistent, which improves exhaust flow compared to crush-bent pipes that create restrictions. Having the gaskets and clamps included means you don't need to source additional hardware.
Installation considerations
This is a direct-fit replacement, so you can expect a bolt-on installation using basic hand tools. However, rusted or seized bolts on older vehicles may require penetrating oil and extra effort. The kit does not include hangers or rubber isolators; reuse your existing ones if they are in good condition.
