Modified Challenge street X-pipe

IMG · 07-26-2011, 08:28 PM

I wanted to go catless so i decided to go ahead and fab the primary cat delete and add an extra 2 resonators cause my car is already loud .

My car put down 579WHP with primary cats in place ,so i will update this post once i re-dyno with the catless setup.

They did a very nice job! Why not weld up the front as well, or are you thinking you might change out that section at some point? I guess if those clamps don't leak, they look beefy as hell, then there is no point. I had my shop weld up the fabspeed's because they couldn't get them to stop leaking.

SLICKTITTLES · 07-26-2011, 10:02 PM

Nice welds-let me know how much difference that extra set of resonators does.

Bart@AUTOcouture · 07-26-2011, 10:48 PM

You need to come down and let us hear it man, like yesterday!

phusion974 · 07-27-2011, 04:53 AM

Thanks for the kind words,the reason i didnt want to weld the front section incase i want to put back the primary cats back on,but after feeling the difference i dont think im going back!

I added the extra set cause i was worried that it might be too raspy and way too loud cause im running Gintani Race axle back,the car got less drone when i went catless,sounds very exotic/metalic and gets very loud up top.

gixxer_kidd · 07-27-2011, 10:02 AM

So you made yourself a dinan xpipe except you can go back and add the cats for inspection. I like it!

jeff.m3 · 07-27-2011, 11:43 AM

I heard this xpipe in person. It's extremely bad ass. It makes my eisenmann race sound like it's stock with silencers.

IND-Distribution · 07-27-2011, 11:48 AM

Beautiful work! I'm sure you're loving the new sound.

Lorde · 07-27-2011, 11:56 AM
