Detailed shots of the new Challenge X-pipe

Handmade in the US. Look at the welds!
- Full stainless steel construction
- Laser cut and formed mounting brackets
- 2.5 in Piping

Wow, it actually looks asymmetrical! See, this is why I like Challenge stuff.

Hunter399 · 09-23-2010, 11:24 AM

Looks great!

Looks nicely done, but I've never had luck with this type of connection. The gaskets always blew out and created an exhaust leak

^ +1. i thought the oem cat bolt on was one piece as shown here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...ight=challenge

i perfer the 1 piece as to 2...was that a prototype?

I just installed mine today, later I will post dyno results and I must say the quality is nice. Wish it would have been atleast 10lbs lighter. I'll post my review on my AA in about two hours.

I had that happen once too. I personally think over-tightening cuts down on the life of those gaskets. On the other hand, I had to have my slip-fitting fabspeed tig welded because there was no way to make it stop leaking.
