I just spoke with Greg one of their representative - sounds like they have things schedule to ship by the 18th unless something change. I am crossing my fingers!

Thanks for the update. I was actually just about to call them.

Just talked to 2-3 of pre order guys today. We are aiming to start to ship around the 18-20th this month on catbacks.

catless and HFC downpipes are both good on hand at the moment also for those looking at that item.

*edit* didnt realize one of you just posted above

The exhaust is like 1,700 and the HFC is like 650. Also so far no update on shipping dates =/ they still waiting to hear back from their Fabricator.

Why would u consider that?

The Meisterschaft system is at least $3500 + tax + shipping. $1700 for the challenge exhaust is a great deal. I also got the HFC DP with my Meisterschaft and the sound is simply amazing!

Ur choice but there's a huge price difference so hard to compare the two.

I wanna buy an challenge exhaust, but the only thing holding me back is that no one received theres yet from the company lol

Yea, they're just backed up. Many have received their DPs (me included) and they are top notch quality. I'm guessing its an issue w/ their fabricator being backlogged. As soon as the first units start to ship, they probably won't have much of an inventory issue.

the GTC + section 2 are 3300 + shipping. i've asked no tax out-state.
does your Meisterschaft drone? can you post some vid to share w/ us?
TBH, challenge exhaust is my ideal type... maybe i ll wait till after summer... travelling soon. hopefully there will be bunch of exhausts options out there.

I was gonna get a catless challenge down pipe, but they were out of stock for so long. I ended up with the ER downpipe no complaints with that. I took out my JB stage 2 and Its not even throwing a CEL with my catless downpipe

Interesting... Not to get off thread topic, but why did you take your JB out?

fricfracfrank · 05-22-2013, 09:11 AM

Are there any exhaust options under the $1,000 threshhold?

Bear in mind it's only a muffler, not a cat back or turbo back exhaust.

Challenge and Akra are Cat Back's I believe.

If you get the DP from Challenge, you'll get a piece-meal turbo back.

inspyro · 05-22-2013, 11:25 AM

Yea the challenge exhaust is full callback and pipes from the DP.
