Aftermarket exhaust components designed to replace the factory catalytic converters in Infiniti Q50 vehicles are produced by Berk Technology. These specific units incorporate a resonator into their design. The inclusion of a resonator aims to mitigate the harshness and rasp often associated with removing catalytic converters, offering a more refined exhaust note.
The primary benefit of installing such components lies in the potential for increased exhaust flow, which can lead to improved engine performance, particularly in terms of horsepower and torque. Historically, modifications of this nature have been popular among automotive enthusiasts seeking to enhance the performance characteristics of their vehicles. It’s important to consider that removing catalytic converters may impact emissions compliance, potentially violating local regulations.
