Description
Flowmaster Universal Catalytic Converter — 3-Way, 200-Cell Metallic Substrate
Built for performance-minded builders, this Flowmaster Catalytic Converter delivers high-flow emissions treatment in a compact, weld-ready package. If you’ve ever asked what a catalytic converter does, the short answer is simple: it converts harmful exhaust gases into less harmful output as they pass through the substrate. This 3-Way design tackles that job with a Premium Grade 200 Cell Metallic Substrate engineered specifically for severe-duty and high-temperature use.
The spun stainless steel outer casing measures a tidy 4.00-inch diameter by 8.00-inch length, making it easy to route through tight chassis spaces where a bulky unit simply won’t fit. With 2.25-inch inlet and outlet diameters and slip-fit, weld-on connections at both ends, it drops cleanly into custom exhaust fabrication where a universal, adaptable converter is exactly what the build calls for.
Who It’s For
This is a universal-fit catalytic converter intended for customized Pre-OBDII racing applications, as well as a “green” upgrade for vintage hot rods and vehicles that never came equipped with a catalytic converter from the factory. It suits engines up to 5.7L and a maximum gross vehicle weight of 6000 lbs, giving fabricators a flexible foundation for a wide range of universal exhaust setups. Whether you’re planning a fresh build or a catalytic converter replacement on a custom system, the weld-on format lets you position it wherever your layout demands.
Key Highlights
- 3-Way, Premium Grade design with a high-flow 200 Cell Metallic Substrate for severe-duty, high-temperature operation
- Compact 4.00-inch diameter x 8.00-inch long spun stainless steel casing for tight-space fitment
- 2.25-inch inlet and outlet diameters with slip-fit, weld-on connections
- Universal fitment for engines up to 5.7L and up to 6000 lbs gross vehicle weight
- Pre-OBDII format with no oxygen sensor port location — ideal for custom and vintage builds
Fitment & Installation Notes
This converter uses new hangers, which are not included, and does not include a heat shield. There is no oxygen sensor port on the housing. Because both connections are slip-fit and weld-on, professional installation and custom exhaust work are recommended to achieve leak-free, secure joints.
