Does anyone know the cell count of the OEM Catalytic converters
As title states, does anyone happen to know the cell count of the OEM Cats on our M157's? I assume it is fairly restrictive since we only have 2 primary cats while most cars have 2 primaries along with 2 secondary cats.

number of holes will not let you know how restrictive.
flow test could where you measure pressure before and after for known amount of air to compare to some other cat design for car.
But for most part manufacturers have pretty good flowing cats as they know Less restrictive means better MPG and reduced emissions.
Ps everything I own and seen has 1 cat per bank of engine close to engine w/o2 sensor before and after...

Just adding a HFC (200 cell count for example) will definitely make things louder, but ultimate performance will be gained with some testing (various inlet/outlet shapes/lengths/diameters.... hopefully from the exhaust builder/seller) to choose the proper size convertor for a specific application.
There is a huge incentive to make the car as efficient as possible, but for people seeking HUGE power, the cats always are restrictive whether they are 200 or 100 count.

Are the OEM cats 400 or 800 cell? Just curious

Great info everyone! Thanks
Yes you're correct. Upon further inspection of the OEM cats (those things are massive), I can see where it divides. You wouldn't happen to know the cell count of the OEM cats would you?
