ABOUT CAT/TEST PIPES

A cat test pipe is a length of (typically stainless steel) exhaust pipe that is inserted in place of a catalytic converter to determine whether or not it is plugged. These test pipes were not installed by the manufacturer, but rather by a mechanic attempting to determine why your automobile is not operating as efficiently as it should. It is possible to detect problems with the catalytic converter by removing it from the exhaust system. If a clogged catalytic converter is not repaired, it can result in engine problems that necessitate costly repairs. The catalytic converter is an integral part of your vehicle's emissions control system, which prevents pollutants from polluting the environment. It converts the harmful gases carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides produced by combustion into water and the less dangerous gases carbon dioxide and nitrogen. A malfunctioning catalytic converter can impede exhaust flow and reduce vehicle performance. Using a performance catalytic converter, it is possible to eliminate restrictions and restore proper exhaust flow while maintaining emissions compliance.

WHY CHOOSE CAT/TEST PIPES?

Their performance catalytic converters are designed for high flow so that your engine can perform to its fullest potential while maintaining the catalyst efficiency necessary for optimal oxidation and reduction, and they are constructed with the heavy-duty materials required to excel in performance applications. They offer direct-fit and universal converters compliant with EPA and CARB regulations. Universal converters are available in common diameters for performance pipes. A universal converter, on the other hand, necessitates pipe cutting, clamping, or welding for attachment, whereas a direct-fit converter can simply be bolted in place of the factory converter. In addition to direct-fit converters that are part of the pipe assembly or exhaust manifold, they also offer header-mounted converters.

VIVID RACING'S CAT/TEST PIPES

Here at Vivid Racing, we take pride in continuously enhancing products that have always been problematic. The catalytic converter will have lost its efficiency and ability to catalyze exhaust system gases over time. Its outdated design also causes a significant inefficiency in the output of exhaust gas from the turbocharger, resulting in excessive heat and backpressure, which in turn reduces your engine's fuel economy and output. The likelihood of the honeycomb internals breaking down, shrinking, and clogging increases with the age of the catalytic converter, potentially causing issues with the turbocharger and engine. All of these stresses combined can cause significant problems later in life. Installing our exclusive all-test cat pipe will remove this restriction, allowing the engine to breathe more freely, thereby reducing engine temperatures, imparting a slightly sportier sound, enhancing fuel economy, and boosting output. It will feel like the engine is more responsive and energetic. The test cat pipe, which was designed in-house for a direct fit, is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel for a longer lifespan. These pipes are custom-made to match the engine's original exhaust system, increase gas velocity to achieve low back pressure and aid in the engine's scavenging. This creates a performance product that enhances the driving experience of every vehicle.
