All of the Venom High Flow Cats are constructed from highly polished stainless steel and feature a secondary outer stainless casing that acts as a heat shield. Unlike factory cats which run a ceramic internal substrate, the Venom Cats are constructed with a metal core substrate which offers many advantages. • Firstly, is its ability to withstand higher operating temperatures, meaning less chance of a substrate meltdown, which is a very important consideration in High Horsepower Turbocharged applications. • Secondly, ceramic is brittle in nature, and a metallic core sports a much stronger structure making it less prone to cracking on impact. This is important as on a vast majority of vehicles the catalytic converter has a close contact point with the road surface and in some cars it represents the lowest point. This becomes even more of an issue with cars that are running lowered springs. Metal core cats do not crack on impact like their ceramic counterparts and can withstand much more abuse. • Finally, the Metallic substrate can support higher flowing configurations compared to Ceramic Cats as they are limited to just 400CPSI. This is because the Ceramics strength and integrity is compromised even further with larger spaced holes in the substrate. Our highest flowing 100 CPSI design means that the internal holes of the cats are 4 times the size of most standard or Ceramic High Flow Cats, and in conjunction with a much larger body diameter you can see how they offer uncompromised flow. The Venom Cats are available in many different sizes and substrate specifications which is why we have split them into 3 different categories, the 400, 450 and 500 Series.
