EPA Certified High Output Catalytic Converter Built for Performance Exhaust Systems
The GE-90150 is a universal 3 inch high output GreenCats catalytic converter designed to flow freely in high performance exhaust builds while maintaining EPA certification for 49 state street use. Kooks engineered the GE-90150 with a T304 stainless steel body, platinum coated substrate, and furnace brazed end caps to deliver reliable emissions compliance without the flow restriction that plagues standard replacement catalytic converters. This is the cat that belongs downstream of long tube headers on performance builds where both street legality and power output matter.
At 3 inches inlet and outlet, this converter flows without stepping down tube diameter anywhere in the exhaust path. The high output substrate is formulated to handle elevated exhaust temperatures from modified engines and forced induction combinations. Kooks rates the GreenCats line to support builds well beyond factory power levels, and the T304 stainless construction resists corrosion and thermal fatigue over years of use. Whether you are building a full exhaust from scratch or replacing a failing cat on an existing performance system, this converter integrates directly into 3 inch pipe via standard weld connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pipe size does this converter require?
This converter uses a 3 inch inlet and 3 inch outlet. It is designed for installation in 3 inch exhaust systems via weld on connections at both ends.
Is this converter street legal?
This converter is EPA certified for street use in 49 states. It is not CARB certified and cannot be sold or installed in California.
Can this converter be used on forced induction builds?
Yes. The GreenCats high output substrate is rated to handle the elevated exhaust temperatures and increased flow demands of supercharged and turbocharged applications.
Does this converter require welding to install?
Yes. This is a universal weld in catalytic converter. A professional welder or exhaust fabricator should install it by welding the inlet and outlet to the surrounding exhaust pipes.
Will this converter trigger a check engine light?
When properly installed in a correctly tuned vehicle, this converter should not trigger a check engine light. If you are installing it after long tube headers, a tune is recommended to manage downstream O2 sensor readings.
What is the body material of this converter?
The body of this converter is constructed from T304 stainless steel, which provides excellent corrosion resistance and long service life in high temperature exhaust environments.
Can I use this cat with any brand of headers?
Yes. Because this converter is a universal weld in unit with standard 3 inch connections, it can be used in any 3 inch exhaust system regardless of header brand.
Is this converter sold as a single unit or a pair?
This converter is sold as a single catalytic converter. For a dual exhaust V8 application, you would need to purchase two units.
How does the GreenCats substrate compare to an OEM replacement cat?
The GreenCats high output substrate flows significantly better than a stock replacement catalytic converter while still meeting EPA certification standards. It is designed for performance applications where flow is a priority alongside emissions compliance.
What warranty is provided?
Kooks provides a limited warranty on this converter. Contact your Kooks authorized retailer for specific warranty terms applicable to this universal catalytic converter.
Installation Instructions
This converter is a universal weld in catalytic converter. Follow these general steps for proper installation:
- Allow the vehicle exhaust system to cool completely before beginning work.
- Position this converter in the exhaust path in the desired location, observing proper flow direction (inlet toward the engine, outlet toward the rear).
- Ensure adequate clearance from the vehicle floor pan, transmission tunnel, and any heat sensitive components.
- Tack weld the inlet and outlet connections to the surrounding exhaust tubing to confirm fitment and alignment before final welds.
- Complete full circumference TIG or MIG welds at both the inlet and outlet joints using a filler compatible with T304 stainless steel.
- Inspect all welds for pinholes or gaps before returning the vehicle to service.
- If installing downstream of long tube headers, an ECU tune is strongly recommended to address O2 sensor fueling and to prevent check engine lights.

Catalytic Converter Universal
Universal catalytic converters replace failing OEM converters on vehicles where a direct-fit replacement is unavailable or where a custom exhaust configuration requires a weld-in solution. Selecting the correct substrate size, inlet and outlet diameter, and cell density ensures proper fit and emissions performance. Popular Upgrades The most popular choices include high-flow universal catalytic converters with 400-cell metallic substrates for performance applications, standard-density 3-way catalytic converters for emissions-legal replacements, and high-temperature stainless steel bodies for durability under extreme exhaust heat. High-flow options from MagnaFlow and similar brands reduce backpressure while maintaining catalytic efficiency. What size universal catalytic converter do I need? Universal catalytic converter sizing is based on inlet and outlet pipe diameter, body length, and overall length. Common inlet sizes range from 1.75 to 3 inches. Matching the converter to your exis...
