Hey Houston...

The only thing you can do with that particular model is to cram peanut butter diluted with extra-virgin olive oil into the oil fill. Do it until the crankcase is chock full. This will eliminate all slack and stuff in all the bearings. These older, air-cooled German-Korean hybrid cars can't seem to pick which side of the fence they wanna ride.

This infusion of American/Italian goo will straighten that bitch out a bit.

Now, to permanently dampen the noise, you need to take all eleven spark plugs out and squirt 2-hour-cure epoxy into the cylinders. Let it set up overnight. I bet it doesn't make any more unwanted noise after that.

just take a potato and stuff it into the tail pipe with a mallet. This is certain to end all noises

I forgot to mention, its a type R. does that change anything? Maybe it just has a type R sticker on it though, I dont know much about cars.

"Kia was founded in 1944, making it South Korea's oldest car company. It later produced several Mazda models under licence, including the Pride (based on the 121) and Avella, which were sold in North America and Australasia as the Ford Festiva and Ford Aspire. The name "Kia" roughly translates as "Arising from Asia" in Korean and Chinese characters."
