Ejectors as an alternative to catalysts. It is legal? Should I install a streamer?

Streamers - what are they?

For many, the term spouts may seem unfamiliar. What are streamers? We hasten to answer! Simply put, ejectors are devices that are an alternative to catalysts. They typically lack particulate filter elements, making them less resistant to airflow in the system.

The design of the exhaust nozzle is based on the use of traditional mechanical solutions, such as:

• ventura tubes;
• Vitonsky nozzles;
• supersonic and subsonic diffusers.

Streamers - what do they give? Do they act as a silencer?

A properly installed sleeve ejector will allow you to experience a significant increase in engine power and torque. Remember, however, that higher performance should be used with caution. It is worth taking care of the correct technical condition of the brake system and its adaptation to the increased drive efficiency. It is also necessary to know that solutions of this class do not dampen noise as well as classic catalytic converters. Water jets also have a negative impact on the natural environment, releasing harmful volatile substances.

What are exhaust ejectors for cars?

You will usually find two types of exhaust ejectors designed for passenger cars: 

• the catalyst closed in the case (simulating it);
• enclosed in a tubular housing (resembling a through silencer).

Their work is no different. They are built with scales arranged in a spiral inside them. They direct the flow of exhaust gases to facilitate their exit from the pipe and increase the efficiency of the combustion process.

It should be remembered that replacing the catalytic converter with a sports flask ejector has a positive effect on power, but at the same time increases fuel consumption and can lead to turbine failure. This also leads to erroneous readings of the lambda probe. The metallic sound emanating from a pipe constructed in this way not only contributes to an increase in noise, but also attracts the attention of law enforcement agencies.

Streamer instead of catalyst - is it legal?

If you are wondering if it is possible to use an exhaust jet instead of a catalytic converter and if your vehicle will pass inspection, remember that this procedure is against the laws in force in our country. If you install an ejector instead of a catalytic converter, you will face serious sanctions, up to the immediate withdrawal of the registration certificate.

By installing ejectors, you will increase engine power by a few percent. You will also notice an increase in torque, especially due to the body design. The special shape allows the supersonic ejector to greatly improve the efficiency of the drive system. Exhaust gases leave the exhaust system much faster than with a conventional catalytic converter, giving the car greater dynamics. Be aware that there are designs on the market that mimic mufflers or catalytic reactors. Their sellers often make sure that the products allow the legal operation of the car without the risk of a fine or withdrawal of a registration certificate. However, do not be fooled - the experienced eye of a diagnostician or a traffic police officer will definitely notice the difference.
