A vehicle’s stock catalytic converter (“cat” for short) is restrictive in terms of performance. Designed to reduce the amount of toxic gasses emitted into the atmosphere, the catalytic converter tends to stifle performance. High Flow Test Pipes decrease backpressure from the exhaust and get rid of the pesky stock cat, thereby improving a vehicle’s performance. They are relatively inexpensive and are well worth the purchase, especially if you have a vehicle that’s known to run a bit rough, such as an older Honda Accord.
