Do Catalytic Converters Rob Horsepower?
In this video, a vehicle is dyno-tested with, and without, Flowmaster catalytic converters.
Flowmaster's ceramic substrate catalytic converters are intended for severe duty/high temperature applications and are engineered to meet or exceed both OEM and USEPA standards for performance and longevity. Protected by a 25,000 mile performance/emissions warranty as well as a 5-year/50,000 mile case warranty, these 49-state catalytic converters are designed for long lasting durability and performance.

Something is not completely adding up to me. I removed a pair of similarly designed ceramic core cats on a truck making about 320 RWHP and picked up 2 tenths in the 1/4 mile and gained 7-12 rwhp from 4,000 and beyond. Even the 200 cell count metallic core cats I ran lost a small amount of power. Anything disrupting the flow of a straight pipe is a restriction and therefore adding backpressure.
