Catalytic converters and forced induction Hey folks! I plan on pushing around 700 RHWP through a Procharger D1SC on a G8 GT I am picking up. The car currently has 1 7/8" headers and no cats and I don't car for the smell of cat-less exhaust. Been running without cats on my twin turbo GTO since I went from a Maggie to the turbos and just don't care for it. Plus, I' will want to quiet this G8 down some.
Is it advised against running even high flow catalytic converters on a supercharged setup making that kind of power? What about if I want to crank the power up in the future? I did melt a Random Technology hi-flow cat on my GTO years ago when it was running the Magnacharger and not sure was caused it to happen. There wasn't but 8k or so miles on the converters at the time, so I'm just skeptical at this point as to what I should or shouldn't do. Any solid advice would be appreciated!
