Catalytic converter with high flow and power

When gearbox owners want to modify and upgrade their car, the first thing they think of is its exhaust system. Dual exhaust system, muffler removal and more - a lot can be done under your vehicle. But one thing that many drivers don't think about is the catalytic converter, especially the high flow catalytic converter.

What is a high flow catalytic converter?   

A high flow catalytic converter has fewer restrictions than a conventional catalytic converter, so the exhaust gases pass through at an increased rate. This modified exhaust system optimizes exhaust gas flow and thus all performance modifications. A car's stock exhaust system is usually too limited for this, so other exhaust system modifications help.

What is a catalytic converter?

Before we go too far, let's get back to the basics: what is a catalytic converter? The catalytic converter converts the exhaust gases into a safe outlet from the exhaust system. As part of the exhaust system, it is responsible for changing the chemicals produced by the piston and exhaust manifold.

The catalytic converter consists of a honeycomb structure with different coatings to change the chemicals depending on the stage of the catalyst. Exhaust gases pass through this structure and react from stage to stage. Like most parts of an exhaust system (and a car in general), a catalytic converter is complex and necessary.

High flow catalytic converter compared to conventional catalytic converter

The high flow catalytic converter still uses a honeycomb structure, but its design is even more complex. Honeycombs have a larger cross-section so that more gases pass through them. In addition, there are more metals in the "high flow coil" to quickly catalyze the initial exhaust gases. It works well for improving the performance of the exhaust system, which increases the performance of the car.

Horsepower

One important thing to keep in mind when adding a high flow catalytic converter is that it is best added as the last part of an exhaust system modification. The converter will release the exhaust gas flow, but is optimal when it works in conjunction with other vehicle modifications. The stock exhaust can limit the full power of the high flow catalytic converter.

In fact, a high flow catalytic converter is ideal for turbocharged or supercharged vehicles. Before adding a high flow coil, your vehicle must be able to produce 20% more horsepower than its stock setting. Especially with professional help, all these modifications are much easier than you might expect.

Should I get a high flow catalytic converter?

If you are looking for the ultimate performance element in your exhaust system, a high capacity catalytic converter is for you. If you want to change your exhaust system from scratch, you should keep this converter in mind. Even if you are replacing an old conventional catalytic converter, it is worth considering adding a high capacity catalytic converter.

Your exhaust system is undoubtedly one of the most important parts of your vehicle and the catalytic converter is essential. A more modern catalytic converter with more optimized flow will help your car a lot. This is especially true if you take the time to take care of modifying the entire exhaust system. After all, a high flow catalytic converter will prevent the wrong fuel mixture, increase airflow, improve your vehicle knowledge, and more.
