Optional OEM-style heat shielding cuts radiant temperatures by up to 80% to help control under-bonnet heat and protect nearby components, while the exhaust note deepens into a richer V8 soundtrack with burbles and crackles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"redstar-intro\"\u003eBuilt for longevity and precision fitment, each system uses 2.0mm wall 304 stainless steel, is 100 percent TIG welded and back purged, and employs OEM-spec 304 stainless steel flanges with all factory-style brackets and mounts. The result is a true bolt-on performance exhaust upgrade from Redstar that integrates cleanly with your vehicle while delivering a decisive improvement in response, tone, and durability.\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.
