High Flow Design - Reduced Backpressure:
The Invidia high flow catalytic converter features an optimized internal design that significantly reduces exhaust backpressure compared to the factory cat. The high flow design uses a larger substrate with improved flow characteristics, allowing exhaust gases to pass through more efficiently. This reduction in backpressure results in measurable horsepower and torque gains throughout the RPM range.
Extra O2 Sensor Bung:
The extra O2 sensor bung provides additional flexibility for tuning and monitoring. This additional port can be used for a wideband O2 sensor for precise air/fuel ratio monitoring during tuning, or for additional exhaust gas temperature monitoring. The extra bung is especially useful for turbocharged applications where precise tuning is critical for performance and reliability.
Proven Power Gains:
Invidia's testing shows the high flow cat delivers measurable horsepower and torque gains on WRX and STI applications. The improved exhaust flow reduces backpressure, allowing the engine to breathe better and produce more power. The gains are especially noticeable in the mid-range and top-end where the factory cat becomes most restrictive.
Emissions Compliant:
Unlike catless downpipes, the Invidia high flow cat maintains a catalytic converter for emissions compliance. This makes it legal for street use in many jurisdictions (check your local regulations). The high flow design provides significant performance gains while still reducing harmful emissions, making it the best of both worlds for street-driven performance cars.
Direct Bolt-On Fitment:
The Invidia high flow cat is engineered specifically for Subaru WRX, STI, and Legacy GT applications, providing direct bolt-on fitment using factory mounting points. No cutting, welding, or modifications are required. The cat connects to the factory turbo outlet and midpipe using factory-style flanges for straightforward installation.
