About this part

Product Details

This HKS Racing Metal Catalytic Converter features a high-density, 200-cell metal honeycomb substrate. This design allows for significantly improved exhaust flow compared to standard ceramic catalytic converters, which often use a denser 400-cell structure. The metal substrate is also more durable and resistant to thermal shock, making it a solid choice for performance applications where exhaust temperatures can get quite high. It's designed to be a universal fit, meaning it can be adapted into various exhaust systems, though professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fitment and exhaust sealing.

The primary benefit of this racing metal catalytic converter is its ability to reduce exhaust backpressure while still performing its essential function of converting harmful emissions into less harmful gases. The 200-cell density strikes a balance between emissions control and performance, allowing your engine to breathe more freely. This can lead to improved throttle response and a slight increase in horsepower, especially when paired with other performance exhaust modifications. The robust construction means it can handle the rigors of spirited driving and higher operating temperatures without cracking or degrading like some ceramic units might.

Because this is a universal catalytic converter, it will require custom fabrication and welding to integrate into your existing exhaust system. It is not a direct bolt-on part for any specific vehicle. Please note that this converter is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. If you are building a performance exhaust system and need a high-flow catalytic converter that can withstand demanding conditions, this HKS unit is a well-built option.
