Yes, there are high flow and sport catalytic converter options available that aim to improve exhaust flow and potentially enhance engine performance. Key details:

• Stainless steel sport converters with fewer cells and included heat shields are offered
• These are generally not EPA-approved for road use and may not be legal in all areas
• Some options allow engine remapping (reprog) for optimized performance

Choose these converters only if they fit your legal requirements and driving needs.

Used Audi S5 catalytic converters have a scrap value based on the precious metal content inside the catalyst monolith. The value fluctuates depending on market prices for metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium.

• Recycling centers may provide estimates based on condition and model
