essential upgrade if you're looking to tune your Gen 3 EA888 equipped VW.  The stock downpipe robs your EA888 engine with high back-pressure suffocating your turbo and stifling your power goals.  Replacing your OEM downpipe with the ARM 8V A3 Downpipe will significantly improve exhaust flow, reducing the back-pressure generated by your turbocharger.  The result of the increased exhaust flow is faster turbo spool, increased power and torque, and a nice improvement in exhaust note.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the improved exhaust flow will allow you to run increased boost targets commonly found with advanced Stage 2+ tuning software.  Attempting to run Stage 2+ tuning files over 25psi with the stock downpipe can put excessive stress on your turbocharger and is not recommended.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eCONSTRUCTION\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade of TIG welded T304 grade stainless steel, the ARM 8V A3 Downpipe is designed to fit your 8V A3 perfectly.  The ARM 8V A3 Downpipe is constructed of a single piece design.  This solid-unit construction eliminates the exhaust leaks and installation issues commonly found with it's multi-piece downpipe counterparts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe laser-cut mounting bracket and CNC machined mounting prongs make for a precise fitment to your stock downpipe mounting points.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ARM 8V A3 Downpipe kit comes with both the reducer to connect to the stock exhaust system, or a straight 3\" adapter to connect to your upgraded cat-back exhaust.  This connection utilizes a CNC machined v-band system for connecting between the downpipe and adapter of your choice.  The v-band is a superior connection type compared to a slip-fit or bolt on connection as it maintains a more study and reliable seal between the two ends.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ARM 8V A3 Downpipe incorporates a stainless steel flex section between the turbo and mid-pip mounting point.  The addition of this flex section r\u003cspan\u003eeduces tension on turbocharger caused from torsion during hard acceleration, cornering, and braking.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ARM 8V A3 Downpipe gives you an immediate improvement in turbo spool, power and torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-RESONATED OR
