FERRARI 430 CAPRISTO SPORTS CATS

Made of T309 (1.4828) grade stainless steel and hand-polished to a mirror finish.

These high-performance sports catalytic converters feature a 250-cell per square inch substrate, fashioned from the highest quality materials currently available. They are designed to improve airflow for your vehicle and increase performance. Additionally, the sports cats include custom hand-sewn heat blankets to reduce under-hood temperatures, protecting the surrounding body, hoses, and painted surfaces from residual heat damage.

The cell count of a catalytic substrate refers to the number of holes per square inch and is a direct indication of the flow capabilities of that substrate. The lower the count of holes, the bigger the holes need to be to fill one square inch. A bigger hole subsequently flows more exhaust gases.

All of this high flow will not help if the substrate is ‘squeezed’ into too small a diameter can or pipe. For this reason, Capristo sports cats come packaged in 5.2-inch packages to maximise exhaust gas flow and the operation of the valved exhaust system.

The Capristo valved exhaust system helps low rpm torque by providing back pressure in the exhaust, and raises temperature for good catalytic converter operation. While in the open valve condition for high rpm, it takes full advantage of the free-flow characteristics of the Capristo sports cats, optimising the high-energy exhaust at the ideal temperature and back pressure to maximise performance.

These catalytic converters can be easily fitted to Capristo exhaust systems or any system that fits directly to the OEM exhaust.
