Challenge Street + Test Pipes?

Haywood · 08-12-2014, 04:55 PM

I called Challenge, but they weren't sure. The question is will test pipes fit on the Challenge Street pipe? I already have ESS test pipes and would like to use them again instead of paying the difference for the Race version. Has anyone successfully made this work? Thanks in advance.

The street pipe is meant for OEM Cats to be attached, correct?
So if that's the case, test pipes should technically fit fine.

You would think. I'm just hoping that someone can chime in who's actually done it. My concern is that the test pipes will be too short and have a gap. Not too worried it they're too long as you can then just cut the test pipes.

I have a buddy that has the street x-pipe and just got ACM test pipes. He did have to have it welded.

Im meeting up with him Saturday and will try to get more accurate info on it.

I ended up going with just the Challenge race pipe.
