SCCA Auto-x catalytic convert info - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

series420 · 03-19-2021, 01:50 PM

Hello everyone, Hope you're all having a fine friday. Im here today to ask about catalytic converters and the autocross rules applying to them for the street prepared class. I am simply wondering if I need to run a catalytic converter on both my headers and also the front pipe, or if I can get away with just one or the other.

Thank you all for your shared knowledge.

Enjoy the spring roads, Drive safe!

I believe just the front pipe is ok. That certainly has been the case for years in STX and I believe the rule is shared here.

STX requires that you keep one cat

"Any catalytic converters are allowed with the following constraints. Multiple catalytic converters may be replaced by a single unit. The inlet(s) of the replacement converter(s) must be located between the cylinder head and a point 6” (152.4 mm) further along the exhaust flow path from the original exit of the final OE converter."

Street prepared allows for the removal of all cats.
