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.
