Bimmer Challenge Round 1 Prep & SSR Performance Downpipes


Once again back at HQ. We had one week until the first round of Bimmer Challenge at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. The tires we had initially intended to run in B2 class (Nankang AR-1s) got bumped up 0.5 pts putting the car in B1 aka unlimited. My friend, Arya, was kind enough to donate two pairs of front Pirelli DH take offs from his Porsche GT4 Clubsport in 265/645-18. With the bump in class I decided, hell, we're going to need to revise this tune again, why not add a downpipe to add a bit more power to hopefully put us in contention to be competitive. So on went the SSR Performance downpipes. Once again, Shah's customer service was great, so was the quality and fitment. Zero complaints here and I would highly recommend their product.
























Some comparison photos between stock and SSR downpipes. A reasonable amount of weight savings as well!
