Why should I buy a downpipe?
A downpipe connects the exhaust manifold with the catalyst and directs the exhaust gases from the turbine housing to the exhaust system. Replacing the OEM downpipe with an Armytrix exhaust, which is larger and smoother, has many advantages. Overall, your car will be more efficient and powerful and will lead to better performance. However, there are 3 clear reasons why you should buy and install a downpipe:
1. Remove the resistance from unnecessary bends
Your OEM downpipe is often supplied with various 'unnecessary' bends, which create resistance one by one and reduce the power of your turbo. An Armytrix downpipe has fewer bends and removes this resistance and the factory restrictions. As a result, your exhaust gases encounter fewer 'choking points' on the way out, which ensures better performance for your car.
2. Increase your horsepower and get the most out of chip tuning
Replacing the downpipe can considerably increase your torque and horsepower. The torque increase is particularly pleasant, but the gap in your turbo hole is also smaller. As soon as the turbo starts rinsing, you notice that you are really being pushed into your seat. In addition, a downpipe is a must if you are thinking of chip tuning. After all, you want to get the most out of your vehicle and a larger and 'smoother' Armytrix downpipe is definitely the solution.
3. Make your car more efficient and unleash its true potential
An Armytrix downpipe offers the possibility to 'remove' the catalyst or to use it more efficiently. This makes it possible to move more exhaust gases at a higher speed, so that the turbo can run faster. In addition to the increased responsiveness of your turbo, you can expect an increase of 15 to 20 HP and torque. An Armytrix downpipe therefore ensures that more and easier air can get into the engine. This ensures better airflow and fewer restrictions, resulting in a smoother engine, more horsepower and the loudest possible sound! However, it is important to choose a downpipe that fits your vehicle exactly.
