PROFILE

The ARM MK7 GTI Catted Downpipe is an essential upgrade if you're looking to get the most from your Gen 3 EA888 equipped GTI.  The stock downpipe is built with a dense catalyst that hinders exhaust flow on your EA888 engine, causing higher back-pressure, increasing turbo lag and causing your turbo to work harder. 

Replacing your OEM downpipe with the ARM MK7 GTI 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.    

In addition, the improved exhaust flow will allow you to run increased boost targets found with 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.  Most tuners require an upgraded downpipe to run their more aggressive tunes.  

CONSTRUCTION

Made of TIG welded T304 grade stainless steel, the ARM MK7 GTI Downpipe is designed to fit your MK7 GTI perfectly.  The ARM MK7 GTI 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. 

The laser-cut mounting bracket and CNC machined mounting prongs make for a precise fitment to your stock downpipe mounting points.  

The ARM MK7 GTI Downpipe kit comes with both 2.5" reducer to connect to the stock exhaust system, and a straight 3" adapter to connect to upgraded cat-back exhaust systems.  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.  

The ARM MK7 GTI Catted Downpipe comes with a single 200 Cell High-Flow Catalyst to reduce emissions and exhaust odors commonly found with catless downpipes.  

If you're looking for a Catless Downpipe, we offer a catless version which incorporates a 4" Resonator in place of the catalyst. 

 

The ARM MK7 GTI Downpipe incorporates a stainless steel flex section between the turbo and mid-pipe mounting point.  The addition of this flex section reduces tension on the turbocharger caused from torsion during hard acceleration, cornering, and braking. 

The ARM MK7 Downpipe gives you an immediate improvement in turbo spool, power and torque.  Pairing the ARM MK7 Downpipe with a proper tune will yield gains up to 60whp and 105wtq on the stock IS20 turbocharger.

Best electric corkscrew - by far
I have tried others but this electric corkscrew outshines them all....so far. Really like it. I have been disappointed with some before though if you get a very dry cork that splinters.....but this one has a much smoother operation and just works better. Good price too.

It is light weight, rechargeable and it works hands-free.
This wine bottle opener is well designed and well constructed. It comes with a foil cutter and works hands-free when you push the button. It pulls up the cork - and then pushes it back out to discard the cork. It is rechargeable!! It is replacing an older opener that left behind cork fragments in the wine - and ate AA batteries quickly.

Best on the market!
I have tried three other brands of electric cork pullers. The fact that I now invested in a fourth probably telegraphs what this review is all about: this Vinabon device is great, hands down winner in the electric cork puller sweepstakes! First, its motor is more powerful. Some winemakers are employing corks that fit pretty tightly, and the other brands I used would occasionally be unable to remove the cork. The screw would simply stop turning, without ay way of resuming. Advantage: the bottle. Second, it is small, about half the size of the others, leaving a small footprint on the counter. Third, it lasts much longer on a single charge. It doesn't sit in a cradle, because it doesn't need to. Assuming you open 10 to 20 bottles a week, you will be able to go two weeks without needing to plug the charging cable in, and a full charge does not take long. 4 vertical lights on the cylinder tell you how much of a charge remains. Fourth, you simply press and release the start button and maintain gentle pressure on the bottle while the device descends into the cork and removes it. As soon as you remove the device from the bottle, it immediately begins to eject the cork. All with that one touch of the button! Fifth, if you encounter a particularly tight cork, the device will stop, whereupon you push the button again and it continues. A couple of synthetic corks required me to restart 3 for 4 times, but it ultimately conquered them all! That leaves only one issue: a failed cork that breaks during the removal process, because the screw cannot engage the cork enough to remove it without it breaking. To my knowledge, the only solutions to this, with any cork puller, are to resort to an Ah So, or if that cannot do it, just shove the cork down into the bottle, and drink the entire bottle in one evening. Truth to tell, I have, myself, actually enjoyed that latter remedial step, especially with a larger format bottle on an evening when I am dining alone. I cannot yet report on the ultimate problem that seems to vex all electric cork pullers I have owned: If the cork disintegrates within the cylinder during removal, how do you get the remains out? I threw my last cork puller away because I could not remove the cork detritus stuck in the cylinder, rendering the device useless thereafter. If there is a solution to that, I would not be surprised to find that this unit already handles the problem. If BMW were to ever make an electric cork puller, I expect it would be much like this one. t costs almost twice as much as the others I have owned, but you get what you pay for. After all, you can buy a small fleet of Yugo's for the price of a BMW. Bravo, Vinabon! I
