The original catalytic converters have cores with about about 600 cells per square inch (cpsi) giving only a flow area of approximately 55%.
The Quicksilver Race' Catalysts have a microscopically thin Fecralloy metallic core of 200 cpsi to which the essential Platinum and Rhodium are applied at a much greater density (25 grams per cubic foot compared to 10 grams on a typical aftermarket product). This all results in a flow area of approximately 85% whilst remaining clean enough to meet emissions requirements.
SOUND
These Catalysts deliver a very different sound which is closer to the GT4. They offer a crisper, sharper crackle that cuts and re-forms up and down through the gears.
Certainly more volume but this can be controlled by the choice of either the standard silencer (with or without Fuse 22) or one of the three QuickSilver rear sections which each offer different sound choices.
