Do high flow catalytic converters make a difference?

Do high flow catalytic converters make a difference?

Yes in the sense that they allow for the more efficient flow of exhaust gasses, removing restrictions that can impede performance. Vehicle owners who’ve significantly upgraded their engine power output (say, by adding a Stage 3 EST Power Pack) will notice more power by upgrading.
