Abstract
Described herein is a process for increasing mass flow of an exhaust gas through a catalytic converter system for a vehicle. The process may comprise determining a centerline and corresponding cumulative centerline bend angle of a first catalytic converter system spanning from an inlet point at a first end of the catalytic converter systems exhaust pipe to an outlet point at a second end of the catalytic converter systems extension pipe. Once determined, the cumulative centerline bend angle may be increased by increasing an individual bend radius of at least one bend within the exhaust pipe and/or within the extension pipe.
