Material and Construction:
-
Grade: Made from T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel, renowned for its strength, corrosion resistance, and sonic properties. The surface is hand-polished to a mirror finish, giving it a high-end appearance.
-
Custom Heat Blankets: This version comes with custom hand-sewn heat blankets designed to reduce under-hood temperatures. These blankets help protect vital components such as hoses, painted surfaces, and bodywork from heat-related damage.
Substrate and Performance:
-
Cell Count: Equipped with a 250-cell per square inch (CPSI) substrate. This high-quality substrate is engineered for optimal airflow, providing a balance between performance and emissions control.
-
Flow and Efficiency: Lower cell counts, such as this 250 CPSI, allow larger exhaust gas passage, improving flow rates and enhancing performance, especially at high RPMs. The larger cell size allows more exhaust gases to exit efficiently, improving engine responsiveness.
-
Design Optimization: The catalytic converters are housed in 5.2-inch diameter packages to ensure maximum exhaust gas flow, which is essential for proper performance and effective operation of the valved exhaust system.
Performance Benefits:
- Back Pressure Management: The CAPRISTO valved exhaust system provides proper back pressure at low RPMs to enhance torque while improving catalytic converter efficiency. At high RPMs, the open valve condition allows for optimized high-flow exhaust, boosting performance.
Fitment and Compatibility:
-
Direct Fit: These Sports Catalytic Converters are compatible with CAPRISTO exhaust systems or any setup that fits directly to the OEM exhaust, ensuring easy installation.
-
Use: Recommended for off-road and track use only, as these high-performance catalytic converters may not meet standard emissions requirements for street use.
Potential CEL Trigger:
- Replacing OEM catalytic converters may trigger a Check Engine Light (CEL). To resolve this, the ECU may need to be tuned or O2 sensor extensions can be used.
