"Real Catalytic Converters" only consist of the OG two-way converters from the 70s and the refined three-way converters of the 80s. What is known as "aftermarket universal converters" is nothing but knockoff emissions tech with questionable real catalytic influence. When people try to argue that modern, high-flow converters are not real catalytic converters, while saying that OEM converters are, I can't help but cringe because they are just as fake catalytic as cheap eBay parts (plus the inefficiency). Real catalytic converters work CLEANLY, EFFECTIVELY, and somewhat MERCILESSLY against hydrocarbons. Fake converters are inefficient, poorly designed, and a failed attempt to direct exhaust gases and reduce pollution properly. Some examples of REAL CATALYTIC CONVERTERS are the OG Johnson Matthey designs, CARB-certified units, and genuine OEM Toyota converters. Some examples of FAKE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS are knockoff eBay parts, test pipes labeled as "performance converters," and anything labeled “universal” that can’t even pass an emissions test. CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BELONG TO EMISSIONS CONTROL, NOT TO PERFORMANCE MODDERS, CHEAP MANUFACTURERS, OR ANY OTHER POLLUTION-IGNORING TREND.

Who's piling their Jim Yoshi

i am so up piling my jim yoshi

As god intended

i hope you guy know i am in studio singing this song out loud because i love it so much

just added that jim yoshi pile-up to my wishlist

YAYYYYYY i am glad you enjoyed it is truly one of the best of all time

i am currently migrating south!

That and the Merchant Ships song from earlier rly caught my interest. I peeped another couple of song off that MS album and really liked them. My Journey To The Weed Den, and Coffee, Hot Showers, and Hangover Jams. Really good stuff, I love it when they shout or make some sound and it's just raw audio from a room. It's the little things like that which can add so much to a track for me.

YES glad you appreciate it as much as I do, they have such powerful voices it truly leaves me in awe time and time again

@green_heron yay migration

these screams <333333

yay migration and yay circle thinking

looking forward to ducks coming later this fall 🦆🦆
