COMPETITION / OFF-ROAD USE ONLY

The SBX Competition Downpipe is a straight-through design for dedicated track and off-road builds. Hand-built in the USA to the same fabrication and weld standard as our GESI catted pipe, with an unrestricted straight-through path for maximum exhaust flow and the quickest possible spool.

  • Straight-through competition design — no restriction, maximum flow.
  • 304 stainless, precision TIG-welded — hand-built in the USA, one at a time.
  • Rampage Fab titanium turbo studs included — Raw or Burnt finish at no extra cost.
  • Backed by a 1-year weld warranty.

Built to the same standard as our catted pipe

Most straight-through pipes for these platforms are cheap overseas units or one-off garage builds. This isn’t. The Competition Downpipe is fabricated to the same standard as our GESI catted pipe — same shop, same 304 stainless, same precision TIG welds — in a straight-through configuration for dedicated track use.

If you just want the cheapest straight-through pipe on the market, we’re honestly not it. If you want one built to a real standard and backed by a weld warranty, that’s exactly what this is.

What’s Included

  • SBX Competition Downpipe
  • 3-bolt lower flange gasket
  • Lower flange hardware (JIS bolts and nuts)
  • Rampage Fab titanium turbo studs, set of 4 (Raw or Burnt)
  • O2 sensor extension (as required by application)

Note: This pipe does not include OEM heat shield standoffs or hardware — the factory heat shield does not reattach to the Competition Downpipe. See Heat Management below.

Heat Management — Read Before You Wrap

The Competition Downpipe runs without the factory heat shield, so you’ll want to manage under-hood heat. There are two ways to do it:

  • Recommended — a form-fit downpipe blanket. Clamps on and off, controls radiant heat into the engine bay, and does not affect your weld warranty. The SBX × PTP Downpipe Blanket (Lava / Black Lava) is built to fit this pipe.
  • Not recommended — exhaust / header wrap. Wrap traps moisture and heat against the stainless and rots the pipe from the outside, and it voids your weld warranty (see Warranty below).

Warranty

  • Weld Warranty: 1 year warranty on welds from the purchase date.
  • Exhaust Wrap Notice: Using exhaust wrap on this downpipe voids all warranty coverage. Exhaust wrap creates a superheated moisture barrier between the wrap and the pipe that breaks the stainless down from the outside. Use a removable downpipe blanket instead.
  • Tune Notice: Pops and bangs, burble, flame, or aggressive crackle tunes that result in weld or pipe failure void all warranty coverage.
