Chances are you're currently driving your car fitted with a factory / OEM downpipe, with numerous bends and airflow restrictions. In most cases, the OEM pipes are bent using a cheap bending process, restricting your car even more. Therefore, installing an Armytrix downpipe has several benefits and might be one of the best decisions for your car.
A downpipe connects the exhaust manifold to the catalytic converter and directs the exhaust gases out of the turbine housing into the exhaust system. Replacing the factory downpipe with a smooth, high flowing and bigger downpipe comes with multiple benefits. Overall, your car will be more efficient, more powerful and result in better performances. However, there are 3 main reasons why you should buy and install a downpipe:
The factory downpipe can come with several 'unnecessary' bends, which one by one creates resistance and decreases the power of your turbo. An after-market downpipe has less bends and thus removes this resistance and the factory restrictions. It’s not a choking point anymore for the performance of your car. In other words; straight pipe it!
Here's an example how that would look for an Audi RS3:
Replacing the downpipe can significantly increase your torque and HP. The torque increase is especially nice, but it also makes the hole in your 'turbo lag' smaller. As soon as the turbo starts to flush, you will notice that you are really being pressed into your seat. In addition, a downpipe is a must if you are thinking about chip tuning. After all, you want to get the most out of your vehicle and a larger and 'smoother' Armytrix downpipe is certainly the solution.
An Armytrix downpipe will give you the option to lose your catalytic converter or will utilize it more efficiently. This enables the movement of more exhaust gases at a higher speed, allowing your turbo to spin quicker. In addition to the increased responsiveness of your turbo, you can expect an increase of 15-20 horsepower and torque. Hence, an Armytrix downpipe allows more and easier access of air into your engine. This ensures better airflow and less restrictions, resulting in a smoother engine, more horsepower and the loudest sound possible! However, it is important to choose a downpipe that fits exactly to your vehicle. Only then, the desired increased performances will be achieved.
