Heard something interesting about our stock cat convertors....

According to Dallas that's the guys name)at WarpSpeed
Performance it's quite possible that getting an aftermarket HiFlow cat convertor may be a pointless mod for the 5th gen depending on what the type of material and the type of cat convertor we already have.

He used a specific term for the type of cat convertors our stock 5th
gen's have but I can't remember what it was he said.

Does anyone know what he is talking about?
and does anyone know what type of cat convertors the 5th gen's have?

i dont know the material either but ive been told the same thing by a couple people. they said getting a high flow cat would be like replacing the stock one on our car. but cars that are supercharged like some buicks could gain a bit more because they use less quality cats.

Was he talking about a 3 way cat or dual bed or something like that. Was he taking about emissions at all and what type of emissions its supposed to reduce? I doubt it but just checking.
