The advantages of this approach are the following:
- Lower price. Replacing the converters unlimited with a flame arrester can cost 5-10 times cheaper than buying a new cat. There are no comments here.
- A slight increase in engine power and lower fuel consumption. The flame arrester creates less resistance to exhaust gases than the , engine “breathes” better, which means it adds to the power. The increase, as well as fuel economy, is not very large, about 5-10%. Most drivers will not feel it. It is not worth it to specially remove the catalyst for the sake of increasing power, but for those who still decide on this procedure, improving engine performance is a small bonus.
- Reduced fuel quality requirements. converters unlimited react most sharply to bad quality gasoline and often it is because of that quality, catalyst fails. The flame arrester does not cope with such work. This does not mean that after replacing aconverters unlimited, refueling at cheap gas stations will be a good idea, but you don’t have to worry about an expensive and fragile part when using unfamiliar gas stations.
converters unlimited Cons are the following:
- First of all, ecology. If you are proud that your car doesn’t pollute environment, then after replacing the converters unlimited with a substitute, you need to stop doing this, because your car will no longer have Euro-4 or Euro-5 standard.
- No need to program car computer. Vehicle electronic control system is designed to use a catalyst and without it will start to go crazy. Using a substitute, you need to invent tricks on oxygen sensors, and in the best case, reprogram the engine.
- Reducing the resource of the exhaust system. Even a good converters unlimited substitute with the task of lowering the temperature of exhaust copes worse than the catalytic converter, so the risk that the muffler burns out increases. On the other hand, you can change more than one silencer for money that will save a flash suppressor.
