FS ARM IC and CTS Turboback

[SLCBrrap]

Some recent life events happened and I need to part out my build unfortunately.

For sale is the following:

CTS Turbo cated turbo back exhaust: This has a Vibrant resonator welded in the mid pipe. On the car for less than 1k miles. This is for a MK7 but fit my MK7.5. $600

ARM FMIC: This is the victory gold color. Some scratches from install that you can touch up. $350

Enkei Raijin Hypersilver. 18x8.5 et42 with Falken RT615k with less than 1k miles. Tires are 235s and don’t rub. I’ll post this over in the wheels thread too. $1200

Buyer pays shipping and I am willing to ship everything, but some items will be expensive due to weight and size. I live in 84105, Utah for reference.

Items are currently on the car and I can post pics in a little bit.

Does the FMIC come with the charge pipes?

 

[SLCBrrap]

Just the the two pipes that come with with FMIC kit and not an entire charge pipe upgrade kit. I attached a pic of it installed and will get some more of it uninstalled once I get time to take it off this week.

Here is a pic of the exhaust from the back. It has a vibrant resonator (No drone yippee!) welded to the catalytic converter which is why I am selling as a turbo back and not just a catback or downpipe separately.

If you just want one or the other let me know and we can work out a deal. The downpipe separately will require you to get a new catalytic converter from CTS.

Interested in your FMIC... question, did you see a real change in engine performance with this? I have read so much I think I'm confused. Appreciate your response.

An intercooler wouldn't give you more power. It will MASSIVELY help with keeping IAT down so the engine doesn't pull timing, which will reduce power. In other words it doesn't add power, but it does defend against losing it. The stock intercooler just doesn't cut it.

I run an ARM FMIC on my GSW. Stage 1 IS12, going is20 as soon as I can install it.

I can say it helps quite a bit and can post logs if you like where you can see. Unless heat soaked im generally within 9 to 12 degrees over ambient on pulls. Heat soaked within 20 to 30 degrees but it cools down quickly.

Yep, this all makes sense. I generally run track days at Road America and Autobahn CC which both have long straights so I don't think but once I had heat-soak type issues (embarrassing to be losing ground to a Hyundai on the back straight).

Sorry for the drastically long time to reply. Been trying to have a phone and media free weekend with all the craziness going on. I haven’t done any logging personally but the butt dyno feels like I get some more consistent pulls than I did in my MK7R that was stage 2 with no upgraded intercooler. I know there is a website where someone did a massive comparison of all intercooler at the time. They must have been an engineer because it is very in depth and well thought out.

This is actually after two installs and the most recent photos. Exhaust has not been installed on the vehicle again.

All sold! Thanks for everyone’s interest and support. I still have the Raijins for sale over in the wheels section.
