Unleash the true potential of the CIVIC TYPE R with the new Metal Catalyzer!!
Features
- The OEM part uses a fine-mesh ceramic catalyst (600 cell +400 cell), while the HKS product incorporates a low-density metal catalyst (150 cell x2).
- Utilizing lost wax casting for the outlet, the vehicle-specific design significantly reduces exhaust resistance
- The exhaust efficiency design and optimal metal ratio achieves both purification performance and low exhaust pressure. Earning official exhaust gas certification from official institutions.
- A specially designed heat shield is included as a countermeasure against heat damaged.
- This product is buffed to a mirror finish and TIG welded. Demonstrating attention to detail.
Performance Comparison
In flow bench testing, the HKS Metal Catalyzer (referred to as the HKS Catalyzer) achieved approximately 51% lower exhaust resistance compared to the stock catalytic converter.
Sound Comparison
Installing the HKS Catalyzer, the sound emitted from the muffler will change.
In terms of proximity exhaust, the mid- and high-frequency ranges for both the stock muffler and the HKS muffler (LEGAMAX Sports) (Abbreviation: LMS) has been tuned to produce a sportier sound. While replacing the catalytic converter tends to increase proximity exhaust sound, combining with the LMS ensures compliance with safety standards, providing a worry-free experience.
