Material and Construction:
-
Grade: Made from high-quality T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel, known for its excellent durability and sonic resonance properties. Each unit is hand-polished to a mirror finish for both aesthetic appeal and performance.
-
Substrate: Features a 100-cell per square inch substrate. This high-cell count ensures improved airflow and performance by allowing more exhaust gases to pass through with less restriction. Lower cell counts would typically indicate larger, fewer holes, which can increase flow but may impact emissions control.
-
Diameter: Designed with a 5.2-inch diameter to avoid the restriction of exhaust gas flow that can occur with smaller diameters. This larger size ensures optimal performance and efficiency.
Performance Benefits:
-
Improved Airflow: The high-flow design of the CAPRISTO Sport Cats maximizes exhaust gas flow, enhancing engine performance, especially at higher RPMs.
-
Low RPM Torque: When used with the CAPRISTO valved exhaust system, these catalytic converters help improve low RPM torque by maintaining appropriate back pressure in the exhaust system.
-
Temperature Regulation: The system helps raise the exhaust temperature, which is beneficial for catalytic converter operation and performance.
Compatibility and Installation:
-
Fitment: These catalytic converters are designed to be easily integrated with CAPRISTO exhaust systems or any system that fits directly onto the OEM exhaust setup.
-
Important Note: Replacing your OEM catalytic converters with these high-performance units may trigger a Check Engine Light (CEL). To resolve this, you may need to tune the ECU or use O2 sensor extensions.
Usage Recommendation:
- Track and Off-Road Use: These catalytic converters are recommended for off-road and track use only due to their high-performance nature, which may not meet emissions regulations for street use.
