The added benefit of it being aluminum the air will also have better thermal cool flowing the pipe as well.

Nice overview of the product. A couple of things. The ARM core is 3.25" thick. Vendors stating rated HP is not very useful without knowing how they arrived at the number. **Edit: Stated HP is worthless because there is no standard for determining it.** ARM states 700 hp and the next paragraph states that it's rated to handle 575 hp. Notwithstanding the HP value being meaningless, compared to the Vibrant 12810, which ARM is essentially a clone of, Vibrant claimed 550 hp.

@@luckyhands4995 To be honest I’m not 100% sure but I know that in comparison to the CTS one I took off it is allowing for more power now. The car should be getting on a dyno soon, just have a few things to get sorted first.

I did'nt buy an intercooler for my GTI Clubsport yet, as it costs an *ARM* & a Leg! 😄 👍 (One thing though your camera is MUCH more jumpy than the regular youtuber, so if i were you i would get a stabilizer like DJI Ozmo or similar for your phone. Its very though to watch when its this jumpy..)

@HaydenCroix 2 жыл бұрын

I do have an Ozmo for the phone but I film on my Canon. I will have to look into getting a ronin or something similar because I have noticed the shake as well, even with max stabilization it’s still pretty bad.

I ended up letting her go. I appreciate the support you always gave, you were a day one! I sold it though because I had a baby and the GTI just did not work well for my current situation. I plan to get back into a mk8 in the future though.

Why change the CTS for ARM, ARM is the best CTS

@HaydenCroix Жыл бұрын

The CTS FMIC is only rated for 450 hp and became a choke point in the tuning process for more power. This ARM one is a much larger core allowing for more air and in the end more power from the tune. If I could go back I would have done ARM from the start as the install is much easier.

@@HaydenCroix My thought is to install an I38 later and stay until there. At the moment, it has the factory one, but I want to mount an intercooler and I don't know if CTS or ARM, what do you recommend?
