X pipe ? which one ?

Apo89 · 06-16-2011, 06:16 PM

Hi every one,

I have Tubi Rumore Exhaust and i want to change my oem x pipe, but i hesitate between fabspeed x pipe and AA signature x pipe.
Which x pipe do you recommend to match with my tubi exhaust.

Thanks for helping me

You need to do some reSEARCH on this topic.

And stock x pipe

J08M3 · 06-16-2011, 07:33 PM

AA

Brosef · 06-16-2011, 07:54 PM

between the two you mentioned, I'd certainly choose AA. you should, however, also consider Challenge - they have a great line of x-pipes as well. it's best that you do your research before making a decision.

Apo89 · 06-17-2011, 02:54 AM

ok thanks you guys for your advises

Can you run a test pipe with an after market x pipe?

For example TM test pipe + Challenge x pipe?

It depends how each is designed. You are best to buy matching pairs so you know they will work together.

Here is a photo of the OEM vs. the Challenge X-pipes. The only one missing from the photo is the Sport with HFC's.

Singletrack · 06-17-2011, 05:47 PM

Need more infos. How loud do you want it to be? Are you changing JUST the xpipe or all the way from the cats back to the rumore? Are you going to get a tune or stay on the stock programming?

To your original question, from what I can see in pictures, I like the AA and Challenge designs better than the fabspeed, and I own the fabspeed. Challenge didn't have a product on the market when I bought mine, and I didn't really care for the original AA design either.

I am thinking about this too, as I also have a Tubi Rumore. It is hard because it is not a popular exhaust in the US, so hearing other combinations with X-pipes is rare. Please post a vid if you do this!

Hi,

This is the photo of our Challenge Sport Model X pipe. It uses high flow cats in the mid section, but deletes the primary. You will need to get an ECU tune to disable the check engine light from removing the primary cats. You should see about a 10-15 wheel HP gain depending on your exhaust. I hope the info is helpful!

I have a fabspeed here in Scotland and its very nice indeed, and i may be wrong but i am sure it gives me a few bhp, the car is just nicer to drive !

Then I would definitely get cats and a resonator, or add another two resonators to a catless setup.

I have the Challenge Street xpipe with my stock primary cats and i personally think its the best xpipe out there from price to build quality,i had it brand new on my car and after almost 20K miles still in great shape and my car is a DD.
Im taking out my stock primary cats next week and replacing them with 2 resonators !
I will def post pics and videos!!!

Also: Thanks to Greg @ Challenge for all the help and great customer service !!!!

You will get a CEL without a tune or a Delete-R

There have been those who have run HFC systems without CEL, but it's not a guarantee.
