PROFILE
ARM Motorsports MK6 GTI Catted Downpipe boosts power up to +20whp and +30wtq. It also improves turbo spool on your 2.0T, allowing your GTI to hit boost sooner at lower rpm.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT A CATTED DOWNPIPE?
Great question! There are multiple reasons why you would want a catted downpipe for your GTI versus a catless downpipe system.
- PASSING EMISSIONS: One of the biggest benefits of a catted downpipe is that it increases your chances of passing emissions.* The catalytic converter in the ARM GTI catted downpipe is significantly less restrictive than the OEM catalytic converter, allowing it to increase the power of your 2.0T while still going to work on burning up those exhaust gases that don't get along with the environment and the EPA.
- NO FOUL SMELLS: Well, at least from your exhaust. The catted downpipe destroys most of the elements in the exhaust gas commonly associated with catless downpipes which produce strong exhaust fumes. If you've owned a vehicle with a catless exhaust you likely know the odor associated with a catless downpipe. The ARM GTI catted downpipe eliminates the smell of many exhaust fumes above that which you would experience from the OEM downpipe.
- EXHAUST SOUND: Many enthusiasts prefer the sound of a catted downpipe over the standard catless downpipe. Having the catalytic converter in the downpipe of your GTI reduces some of the high-pitch rasp commonly associated with catless systems. It almost acts similar to a resonator in the way it effects the acoustics of the exhaust note.
CONSTRUCTION
The ARM MK6 GTI catted downpipe features a full 3" stainless steel construction with smooth bends for improved exhaust flow. The upper section of the downpipe has a CNC-machined flange that mates up to the turbo and includes a flex joint to relieve stress and make installation easier. The downpipe to catback section is where the 200 cell sport catalytic converter is placed. The ARM catted downpipe kit is designed to fit both CBFA and CCTA applications, so you can make sure that no matter which version of the 2.0T you have the ARM downpipe will accommodate your GTI.
BOLTS UP TO STOCK OR AFTERMARKET CATBACK EXHAUST
The ARM MK6 GTI catted downpipe will fit the existing OEM catback exhaust or any aftermarket exhaust that connects the OEM downpipe. The ARM downpipe kit includes a 3" to 2.25" reducer to allow it to mate up perfectly to the stock exhaust system. Or opt to connect to a 3" aftermarket exhaust system for a full 3" turbo-back setup.

Clean, Long‑Lasting Protection Without Irritation
Scent: Bergamot & Hinoki, Size: 2.6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This deodorant is a great pick if you want something aluminum‑free that actually holds up through a full day. The formula goes on smooth, doesn’t feel sticky, and dries down quickly without leaving residue on clothes. It has a clean, fresh scent that isn’t overpowering, and it stays consistent as the day goes on.
What I appreciate most is how gentle it is — no burning, no irritation, and no chalky buildup. Even with the softer feel, the protection is strong and lasts well through heat, errands, and everyday activity. It’s one of those deodorants that feels more “skincare‑forward” than chemical‑heavy.
If you’re looking for a natural option that still delivers real staying power, this one is a solid upgrade.

Wonderful, but also couldn't stand up to the funk
Scent: Black Rose & Oud, Size: 2.6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This was my first time using this brand and I used it faithfully for about 9 months.
I've been using more natural and aluminum-free deodorants for several years now. I have sensitive underarms so I stay away from "clinical strength" or a lot of chemicals. I've tried both ladies' and men's brands (I'm a woman) and they only seem to work for a little while before they completely stop working and I have to switch to something new (or back to an old one). I decided to give this one a try after seeing it pop up on Amazon a lot and also because the one I was using isn't sold in stores and would sometimes take a week or more to get to me.
My first impression of this deodorant was that I like the compact, round packaging and how easy it is to use (the bottom twists very smoothly). Secondly, IT SMELLS AMAZING. Black rose and Oud is such a delicious scent - lightly floral, sweet, a little powdery, and a little musky. Every time I applied it, I kept falling more in love with the scent. And it also applied to my underarms very smoothly and without any pulling or roughness.
It's worth noting that I started using this deodorant during a heat wave; we had about three weeks of temperatures between 90-100 degrees F with 75-95% humidity. Surprise surprise, this deodorant held up! Mind you, it's deodorant and not antiperspirant, so, yes, I did sweat, but, no, I did not smell. I applied it once a day (or the night before) and had no issues. This deodorant also held up exceptionally when I was exercising and it did not leave me smelling bad at all after workouts.
Now, where this deodorant DID NOT HOLD UP is when it came to hormone changes and (emotional) stress. Whenever that time of the month came around, the deodorant significantly weakened and I had to apply it again during the day. For me, that's actually normal and I pretty much have that happen with any deodorant. It's performance during stress was pretty terrible though. I went through a few months of intense mental/emotional stress and this deodorant completely failed me. The second I got anxious or stressed out, my armpits would start to pool and turn into a swampy mess and I would immediately smell terrible. Not once did the deodorant hold up to my stress sweat or funk, which was very disappointing since I liked it very much outside of that one issue.
I ended up just throwing it away (since I wasn't sure when the stress would stop) and going back to my previous deodorant that worked wonderfully, now sells on Amazon, and I highly recommend: Kosas! It is pricey like this one, but the main selling point for me is that it contains AHA and BHAs that stop the funk and also brighten (and keep bright) the underarm area. It also neutralizes razor burn.

Fabulous deodorant and I get compliments on scent
Scent: Bergamot & Hinoki, Size: 2.6 Ounce (Pack of 1), Scent: Bergamot & Hinoki, Size: 2.6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've always had problems with deodorant. Irritation, complaints from ladies on the scent. I've even had a few that discolored my pits. The cheaper ones leave marks on clothing. To be fair, I was introduced to this by Thrive MRKT; and the price is cheaper there. BUT, after running out, and Thrive having low or zero stock, getting this from Amazon 12 hours after ordering, I realized this is an essential item for me. Good ingredients and lovely silky texture, you don't notice it's working. Dries super fast, not sticky or heavy texture, feels lightweight/invisible. I've even had deodorant in the past where i'd flap my arms or blow on pits hoping it would dry. No such ridiculousness here. 5/5 Stars highly recommend. Premium product and well worth the price. I even get compliments from my lady friends on this sent.

I like this EXPENSIVE deodorant
Scent: Bergamot & Hinoki, Size: 2.6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I really like the deoderant, as it seems to work well and goes on easily with no staining, etc. The reviews seem to emphasize the wonderful smell, but it is very mild and I find the smell minimal. It is rather expensive for a deodorant, but it works, so I will leave that up to the individual. Not sure if I will purchase again, but only because of the price, but I do like the product.

Perfect for Sensitive Skin Without Feeling Heavy
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have very sensitive skin and finding a facial moisturizer that hydrates well without causing irritation can be a challenge. This one has been fantastic. It feels lightweight going on but still gives enough moisture that my skin stays soft and comfortable all day. No strong fragrance, no burning, no breakouts, just simple and effective skincare.
I also really like that it layers well under makeup and doesn’t leave my face feeling greasy or sticky. The ceramides and hyaluronic acid make my skin feel healthier and more balanced overall. Vanicream continues to be one of the few brands my skin consistently tolerates well. I’ve already repurchased this and will keep using it.
