For high-performance builds where exhaust flow, durability, and packaging space are important, the Flowmaster 200 Series Universal High-Flow Catalytic Converter (Part #2000130) provides a compact alternative to larger conventional catalytic converters.

At the heart of the 2000130 is a high-flow 200-cell metallic substrate. Compared with the denser ceramic substrates commonly found in factory catalytic converters, the metallic core is designed to provide increased exhaust flow while also handling the elevated exhaust temperatures generated by demanding performance applications. Flowmaster specifically lists this converter for severe-duty and high-temperature use.

The converter features a full 3-inch inlet and 3-inch outlet, making it an excellent match for custom 3″ performance exhaust systems. Its compact round spun-body design measures approximately 4 inches in diameter and only 8 inches in overall length, allowing it to be installed in areas where larger converters can create clearance problems.

Construction consists of a durable 409 stainless steel outer housing surrounding the metallic catalyst substrate. The combination of stainless construction and a metallic core makes this converter particularly well suited to performance applications that experience greater exhaust temperatures and thermal cycling than a typical stock vehicle.

Because the 2000130 is a universal converter, it is not a direct bolt-on replacement for the Pontiac G8 or Chevy SS. Cutting and welding will normally be required to integrate it into an existing exhaust system. The converter also does not include an oxygen sensor bung, mounting hardware, clamps, or hangers.

For customers building a custom 3″ exhaust system who still want to incorporate catalytic converters without using a large, restrictive OEM-style unit, the Flowmaster 200 Series provides a compact, high-flow solution capable of handling demanding exhaust temperatures.
