These aftermarket components replace the factory catalytic converters found in the exhaust system of the specified vehicle. Their primary function is to reduce exhaust backpressure, potentially increasing engine horsepower and torque. For example, replacing the original equipment with these parts can lead to a noticeable change in the vehicle’s exhaust note and engine response.
The appeal lies in the potential performance gains. Removing the restrictive catalytic converters can improve exhaust flow, allowing the engine to breathe more freely. Historically, modifications to exhaust systems have been a common method for enthusiasts to enhance vehicle power. However, it is important to consider that such alterations often impact emissions compliance and may violate local regulations.
