These aftermarket automotive components replace the factory catalytic converters found in the exhaust system of a specific vehicle model. They are designed to improve exhaust flow and potentially increase engine performance. The inclusion of resonators aims to mitigate the increased exhaust noise and drone often associated with catalytic converter removal.
The primary motivations for installing such parts typically center around enhancing horsepower and torque output. The removal of catalytic converters reduces exhaust backpressure, allowing the engine to expel exhaust gases more efficiently. Historically, these modifications were more prevalent in performance-oriented vehicles seeking to maximize their capabilities, often for track use or enthusiast applications.
