Armytrix Porsche 991 Turbo S Exhaust Installed

Porsche undoubtedly makes some of the best sports cars and supercars in the world. The average person would assume a Porsche 991 Turbo S would be more than powerful enough from the factory, but enthusiasts know there is always performance left on the table. Turbocharged vehicles respond greatly to aftermarket exhaust systems as they allow the turbo to spin faster, ultimately making more power. Armytrix is extremely popular in the Porsche community for their great sounding exhaust systems, but also the Valvetronic technology that is built into their exhaust systems.

Armytrix vs Stock

As you can tell from the photos below, the Armytrix exhaust uses much smaller mufflers than the OEM exhaust. Combined with lightweight piping, you end up with pretty great weight savings. The Armytrix exhaust also features the Valvetronic system which allows you to route the exhaust through the mufflers or bypass them entirely with the press of a button. The tips are also arguably much better looking than the stock tips.

Installation

For something like this we recommend a professional shop install the exhaust system, but it can be done at home assuming you have the correct tools on hand. Installation requires the removal of the tail lights and rear bumper. Once those are out of the way, it’s simply a matter of unbolting the factory exhaust and bolting on the Armytrix exhaust. Don’t forget to plumb the Valvetronic system!

McLaren 570S Armytrix Race Downpipes Installation + Sound Clips

Although a lot of supercar owners like to keep their exotic cars completely stock, some of them want to find the true potential of their cars. McLaren loves to use turbocharged V8 engines in their cars, and turbocharged engines love to be modified. Allowing the turbocharger to spin more freely will result in better throttle response and more horsepower, plus a better sounding exhaust tone. For this reason, we installed Armytrix race downpipes on our project McLaren.

Armytrix vs Stock

As you may be able to tell from the photos below, there is one massive difference between the OEM downpipes and the Armytrix downpipes: the ceramic coating. The Armytrix downpipes feature a full ceramic coating which gives it that unique appearance on the outside. The real benefit of a ceramic coating is the reduction in heat inside the engine bay. The downpipes get pretty hot and that heat will transfer to the air inside the engine bay, and ultimately make everything near the downpipes extremely hot. With the ceramic coating, however, a lot of that heat stays within the downpipes.

Aside from the coating, the Armytrix downpipes are feature a smoother design than the OEM downpipes, resulting in increased exhaust flow and ultimately more horsepower. THe Armytrix downpipes also use a much nicer flexible joint to allow the exhaust system to move as needed under load.

Installation Process

Professional installation is definitely recommended with these downpipes. The process requires removal of the rear fender lines to access some of the bolts. After the liners have been removed, it’s mostly a process of unbolting anything in the way, unbolting the OEM downpipes, bolting the new ones in, bolting everything else back together, and reinstalling the inner fender liners. Don’t forget to transfer the heat shields and O2 sensors! Below is a YouTube video showing off how awesome these downpipes sound after installation.

Introducing The All New BMW 520i/530i Armytrix Valvetronic Exhaust System

As time goes on, emissions restrictions are forcing automobile manufacturers to use smaller and more efficient engines. Cars that used to have six-cylinder engines now have turbocharged four-cylinder engines, with more and more consumers picking the smaller engine over the larger engine. A big concern that many enthusiasts have is how the smaller four-cylinder engine will sound when compared to the six-cylinder of the same car. This exact situation is affecting the BMW G30/G31 520i/530i.

Armytrix decided to show the world just how awesome the 520i and 530i sound with a proper exhaust system. Now that the development is completely finished up, this new Valvetronic exhaust system for the G30/G31 is available for purchase. One of the great things about the Valvetronic system found inside an Armytrix exhaust is the ability to change the volume of your exhaust on the fly. This is great if you don’t want to upset your neighbors, but want to let your exhaust sing out on the road.

Separate from the Valvetronix catback exhaust is a new high-performance downpipe. These are offered without a catalytic converter for maximum performance, but a cat simulator is included to keep your engine light from coming on. With increased horsepower, Valvetronic mufflers, and a lightweight construction, the new Armytrix exhaust is a perfect addition to your 520i/530i.
