200 Cell Catalytic Converters

Unlock Horsepower with Premium Metallic Core 200 CPSI Converters

Upgrade your vehicle’s breathing and performance with our premium range of 200 cell high flow catalytic converters. Designed for those who demand more from their exhaust system, these 200 CPSI (cells per square inch) converters offer a significant reduction in backpressure compared to restrictive factory units. By utilizing a high-efficiency metallic substrate, our converters allow for maximum airflow and improved exhaust scavenging, resulting in noticeable gains in horsepower and torque. Whether you are building a custom street car or a dedicated track weapon, our stainless steel high-flow cats provide the perfect balance between emissions compliance and raw performance.

At Exhaust Shop Australia, we specialize in universal 200 cell catalytic converters from trusted industry leaders like MSA and Redback. Our selection is engineered to withstand the extreme temperatures of high-output engines, making them ideal for both naturally aspirated and turbocharged applications.

Technical Specifications & Fitment:

  • Inlet/Outlet Sizes: We stock a wide variety of sizes including 2" (51mm), 2.25" (57mm), 2.5" (63mm), and 3" (76mm) to suit any custom fabrication project.
  • Core Material: Heavy-duty Metallic Substrates that are far more durable than ceramic alternatives, resisting vibration and thermal shock.
  • Body Construction: High-grade 409 or 304 Stainless Steel for long-term corrosion resistance in harsh Australian conditions.
  • Compliance: Many units are Euro 2 rated and include O2 sensor provisions to help prevent "Check Engine" lights while maintaining high-flow characteristics.

We offer fast, insured shipping across Australia, serving customers from Melbourne and Sydney to Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 200 cell and a standard catalytic converter?

A standard factory catalytic converter typically has 400 to 600 cells per square inch (CPSI). A 200 cell converter has a much larger "honeycomb" opening, which creates significantly less restriction. This allows exhaust gases to escape faster, reducing backpressure and allowing the engine to produce more power.

Will a 200 cell high flow cat make my exhaust louder?

Yes, because there is less internal surface area to dampen sound waves, installing a 200 cell converter will generally result in a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note compared to a restrictive factory unit.

Are these converters legal for street use in Australia?

While 200 cell converters are designed to reduce emissions, laws regarding aftermarket converters vary by state and the age of the vehicle (e.g., ADR and Euro emission standards). Generally, these are marketed for "off-road" or "performance" use. We recommend checking your local state regulations to ensure compliance for street-driven vehicles.

Do I need to weld these in, or are they bolt-on?

Most of the products in this collection are universal fitment, meaning they require professional welding to be integrated into your existing exhaust system. This allows them to be positioned perfectly regardless of your vehicle's specific layout.
