No aftermarket catalytic converter is CARB (California Air Resource Board) approved for the Volvo T5 at the moment.Īs an option, we offer a bright silver, polished ceramic coating of the exterior. Imported catalytic converters generally do not have EPA approval, which is a very important consideration when it comes time for vehicle inspections and/or resale of your vehicle. Our catalytic converters are EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) approved for 49 States (California is the exception). Our catalytic converter is rated for a 7.4L engine on a 12,000lb vehicle, which translates to maximum flow and cleaning on your Volvo. Our converter is actually much larger in volume than the factory catalytic converter, which is unheard of until now on a performance downpipe. This is a simply not true, as they actually create a restriction when compared to the flow of the factory catalytic converter. Many "performance" aftermarket catalytic converters are grossly undersized for the application, but claim big flow numbers. The size (internal volume) of our catalytic converter is unequaled, with carefully tailored transitions in and out of the catalytic converter. Elevate uses the best flowing, 3-way catalytic converter on the market. The catalytic converter is a critical element in your vehicle's emissions system, and a properly designed and rated catalytic converter is critical to both optimal performance and legality. It is small details such as this that ensure you are getting the best engineered product on the market.īoth a factory downpipe and the Elevate Downpipe include a catalytic converter as part of the assembly. Our Downpipe can be used with either the stock exhaust system or an Elevate Performance Exhaust System. Our flex section is double walled stainless steel with a stainless steel braid for further protection. All Oxygen sensor locations are retained for proper engine management. We designed our Downpipe to be a direct replacement for the factory unit including mounting points for the heat shield and O2 sensor wire. All components are T304 stainless steel for long life. Thick, machined flanges at both ends ensure proper sealing using factory gaskets (included). Our Downpipe is constructed of the finest materials, with all bends being truly mandrel bent, resulting in optimal flow because of a consistent inside diameter throughout. With a reduction in backpressure via an increased volume of area for the turbo to breathe into, the turbo is able to spool much more rapidly and able to make more torque and horsepower and do so earlier in the power band while reducing heat at the turbo. Your turbo charger makes boost by an impeller being spun by spent exhaust gases being channeled past it. A "downpipe" is the first element in your turbo charged vehicle's exhaust system and is the actual component that bolts to the exhaust side of the turbo housing. Our downpipe is a critical component in producing maximum power from your Volvo. The Elevate 3" Volvo S40 Turbo Downpipe is unequaled in performance, quality, and looks.
