Does this X pipe include catalytic converters?

Product Details

BBK builds these X pipes using 2-1/2 inch diameter, 16-gauge aluminized steel tubing. The tubing is CNC mandrel-bent to ensure smooth bends and consistent diameter throughout, which helps exhaust gases flow freely. The unique center X section is where the magic happens, merging the exhaust streams from each bank of cylinders in a way that promotes better extraction. It also includes high-flow catalytic converters that are designed to increase exhaust flow compared to stock, while still meeting emissions requirements in most states. Installation is straightforward, as it's designed to connect directly to your factory exhaust headers or any aftermarket shorty headers, and it retains the factory O2 sensor locations for a simple hookup.

Keep in mind that this BBK X pipe is not legal for sale or use in California due to emissions regulations, so be sure to check your local laws before ordering. If you're aiming to unlock more performance from your 4.6L Cobra and want a noticeable improvement in sound and power, this BBK X pipe is a well-built option.
