Metallic catalytic converter, powergain? (24v 3.0 -97)
Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2005 2:09 pm
Hi!
Im planing on building a free flow stainless exhaust system for my new first lady. (a GTV24v3.0 -97)
The old system is quite restrictive, about 11kw of power loss compared to a free flow unit with standard catalytic converter(dyno results of a friend).
The question is, is it worth the extra 330€ (about 400usd) to replace the original catalytic converter with a metallic sport unit?
I already have slightly hotter intake cams, and Im planning to install a unichip later on.
Regards, Tom
