200-cell cat
200 cell cats are perfectly suited for drivers with sporty ambitions. Because the less cells your racing cat has, the greater the performance. With our metal sport cats, you will also enjoy a humming sound and an emotional driving experience on the racetrack. The service life of the engine and turbocharger is also increased, because the catalytic converter makes the exhaust gas temperature drop and decreases the thermal load. In our shop, you will find plug & play cats with 200 cells, for instance for 1.8T engines. This reduces exhaust gas retention by up to 85 % compared to a serial catalytic converter. The same also applies to our other 200-cell racing cats, such as the universal cat with 55 mm connections. If you want to build your own exhaust system yourself, you will find the right downpipe kit between turbo and cat in our online shop.
Why do you need a racing cat with 200 cells?
You need a racing cat if you seriously want to get more power out of your car. This consists of a honeycomb-shaped carrier containing many small channels (the cells). The exhaust gases flow through these channels and are cleaned by a precious-metal coating. Serial catalytic converters are not constructed to be as flow-optimised as our racing cats. Complex procedures ensure that the cell walls of our cats are extremely thin to ensure optimal airflow. This reduces exhaust gas retention; exhaust gases can flow freely and your engine is significantly less strained.
What do 200 cells mean in your cat?
The quantity of cells in a cat always refers to the number per square inch. With a 200-cell cat, there are 200 cells per square inch. In the overall catalytic converter, there are therefore considerably more channels. In our case, these are made of stainless steel, extremely thin-walled and flow-optimised. This ensures the boost in power. Since sport cats with 200 cells are conceived for increased performance, they often do not meet the requirements for street use. They are thus usually subject to registration. So with this cat, you have to head to the TÜV and have it entered in your papers.
