Hi Simeon,
It would help if you would list what year and model your Tiburon is firstly - four cylinder or V6 for example.
However, a flex pipe is not going to harm your mileage. I would suggest getting an actual exhaust system put in if you can afford it as you are much better off that way.
Also, Hyundai has specific polution controls on all of their cars. Your light may be coming on for many reasons but I would first check to see if your gas cap is bad or you are not tightening it enough. This affects your mileage. Your Tibby creates a suction build up in your tank and if you dont make your cap click at least three times you may be losing that suction. Your Tibby's computer knows there is a lack of pressure and your engine light comes on as well as it affecting your mileage.
I have a 2006 Tiburon SE that has the V6. I get about 23-25 city and 28-30 highway for mileage. If you follow the above suggestion and you dont see improvement then there is another issue.
