Catalytic Converters (Cats) are an emission control component generally found on cars manufactured after 1975, to comply with EPA regulations. "With Cat" systems sold by ARH include our 200 cell high flow cats. Our cats are designed to comply with EPA regulations, while at the same time, minimize the impact of parasitic loss of horsepower and performance from typical stock cat create.
"No Cat" systems, also know as "Off-Road" systems omit the catalytic converter entirely. As the name implies, these systems are designed for racing applications and are not meant for public roads. Although the effect our our high flow cats on performance is nominal, eliminating them in closed course settings could make the difference when victory is measured in hundreths of a second.
