This system replaces the restrictive factory sections housing both the primary and secondary catalytic converters, clearing the path immediately after the turbo for improved response and output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"redstar-intro\"\u003eThe streamlined layout reduces backpressure for faster spool-up, stronger mid-range and top-end performance, and a more engaging exhaust note. Optional OEM-style heat shielding with a ceramic inner layer cuts radiant heat by up to 80 percent, helping to manage under-bonnet temperatures and supporting turbocharger longevity during spirited driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"redstar-intro\"\u003eBuilt for reliability as well as speed, every Redstar downpipe is precision TIG welded and back purged from 2.0 mm wall 304 stainless steel, secured with an OEM-spec V-band flange and factory-style brackets for a true bolt-on fit. LHD and RHD compatible and finished to Redstar quality standards, this is the robust, high-flow solution enthusiasts expect from Redstar performance exhaust downpipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"redstar-section-title\"\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"redstar-options\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHJS HD 200cpsi Catalytic Converters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered in Germany and trusted worldwide, the HJS 200cpsi ultra high-performance cats are rated for over 1000hp.
