upgrade if you're looking to get the most from your 1.8T equipped Golf. \u003cstrong\u003eThe stock downpipe is built with a dense catalyst that hinders exhaust flow on your 1.8T engine, causing higher back-pressure, increasing turbo lag and causing your turbo to work harder.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing your OEM downpipe with the ARM MK7 Golf 1.8T Downpipe will significantly improve exhaust flow, reducing the back-pressure generated by your turbocharger. \u003cstrong\u003eThe result of the increased exhaust flow is faster turbo spool, increased power and torque, and a nice improvement in exhaust note.\u003c\/strong\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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. \u003cstrong\u003eMost tuners require an upgraded downpipe to run their more aggressive tunes. \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eCONSTRUCTION\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade of\u003cstrong\u003eTIG welded T304 grade stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, the ARM MK7
